First Aid Kit
Band Stockholm Sweden Formed 2007 Swedish folk band
First Aid Kit formed in 2007 in Stockholm, Sweden. First Aid Kit has 99 chart appearances on 54 radio countdowns from 16 stations on RockLists, spanning 2012–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “My Silver Lining”, which appears on 20 lists with a best position of #5. The station that charted First Aid Kit most often is WYEP (Pittsburgh, PA), with 28 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2022.
First Aid Kit are the Swedish sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg, and their harmonies have that eerie blood-relative blend you can't teach. They started out in Stockholm in 2007, and the world first took notice in 2008, when their homemade YouTube cover of Fleet Foxes' "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" made the rounds.
The Lion's Roar, in 2012, is where they arrived: Americana and old-time folk sung with a clarity that makes the sad parts ache, and "Emmylou" ended up among the year's best singles in the rock press. The album's title song and "Wolf" showed they could roar as well as coo, and they won the Nordic Music Prize that year.
Stay Gold, their first for Columbia, came in 2014, its title track and "My Silver Lining" bigger and more burnished, and in 2015 came a Brit nomination for International Group. Ruins followed in 2018 with "Fireworks" and "Rebel Heart" and a second Brit nod, and Palomino in 2022 brought the sunnier "Out of My Head" and "Angel". Live, the sisters fill out the sound with a hired drummer, guitarist and keyboardist.
