First in Line

**First in Line** is a Swedish hardcore band formed in the late 1980s in Linköping, a city in southern Sweden. They were heavily influenced by the American hardcore scene, with bands like Minor Threat and Youth Brigade being major inspirations. First in Line gained momentum within the Swedish and Scandinavian punk scenes, releasing several 7-inch records and appearing on various compilation tapes and records before taking a break at the end of the 1990s. The band re-emerged in 2008, producing notable albums such as *In the Land of Filth and Honey* (2012), *...We Are Watching* (2014), and *Wake Up*. Their music is characterized by its fast-paced and political nature, reflecting on themes like capitalism and social resistance.

The band's recent releases align with their earlier discography, continuing a focus on energetic and socially conscious hardcore. Despite being active in the hardcore scene, not much is publicly documented about their personal lives or specific backgrounds beyond their music and influences. First in Line has shared the stage with bands like Vinnarscirkeln and Knifven, showcasing their involvement in the broader Scandinavian punk community.
