Fireside is a Swedish rock band that formed in the Swedish hardcore scene in the early 1990s. After finding moderate success as a post-grunge/alternative rock band, yet tiring of playing half-filled venues,[1] Fireside adopted an emo/pop punk sound in 1998. In 2000, with the release of Elite, the band took a more experimental approach to rock, but 2003's All You Had saw the band shift towards garage rock.

After a lengthy hiatus Fireside returned to playing live in 2016 and consequently a new album named Bin Juice was released in 2022. However, only singer/guitarist Kristofer Åström and guitarist/producer Pelle Gunnerfeldt appear on the record, joined by bassist and occasional vocalist Kate Breineder and several drummers.
