The Refreshments are a Swedish rock group formed in 1990 in Gävle. With their impressive string of recordings, the band have the reputation of being Sweden's most hard-working ensemble.
During their first years they mainly played covers of 1950s rock-n-roll songs. Their 1995 debut album, Both Rock'n'Roll, was followed by 1997's Trouble Boys. Both albums were produced by Billy Bremner, who also played in the band for a few years.
Most of the band's songs are written by bass player Joakim Arnell. Since piano player Johan Blohm joined the band, they have also played an occasional country song. Two of their biggest hits are Miss You Miss Belinda and One Dance, One Rose, One Kiss. In 2003 they had a big selling album with Rock'n'Roll X-mas. The Refreshments have also worked with Dave Edmunds, something that resulted in the live album A Pile Of Rock. In addition, the band have featured legendary British guitarist Albert Lee in live performance.
