Biography

“The idea of forming a new band started sometime in 2008, Hasse recalls. I had a handful of new songs, and more were coming regularly.” The idea started to take shape and in 2009 Hasse Fröberg & Musical Companion began to work and prepare for what later became their debut album “FuturePast” (2010). After shows in both Sweden and abroad, the band entered the studio to record Powerplay, released in 2012. The album was followed by shows and festivals in both Europe and USA, including Night of the Prog and ROSfest. 2015 saw the release of the self-titled album HFMC, which resulted in more extensive touring. When the band finally returned to their hometown of Uppsala, they captured the show on camera for the Live DVD/Album No Place like Home released in 2017. In 2019, HFMC announced the release of brand-new music in form of the ambitious opus Parallel Life, including the 22-minute title track. The band embarked on tour initially performing on Prog at Sea (a festival at sea between Oslo and Frederikshavn) and carried on playing until the pandemic put a stop to it all. This brings us up to date and the new album We Are the Truth (2021). Along with a new bass player and a strong and solid set of songs, the band once again plan to get back on the road in 2022.
