Satan Takes A Holiday is a Stockholm-based band, created in 2006 by Fred Burman, Johannes Lindsjöö and Svante Nordström.

The band released the self-titled debut album in late 2009. A few months later they were nominated in the Best Rock category at the Swedish P3 Guld Awards,[1] and the songs “Missy” and “Heartbreaker” were played regularly on the radio.

The second album Who Do You Voodoo was released March 2012, preceded by the single "Karma Babe".[2]

In June 2013 they opened for Kiss together with Hardcore Superstar at Friends Arena in Stockholm.[3]

In spring 2014, they released the double A-sided single - "Talk of The Town" / "This Microphone", followed by the third full-length album "Animal Man Woman" in November 2014.

Swedish Despotz Records signed a record deal with Satan Takes A Holiday in 2016.[4] The label released the singles "The Beat" and "Ladder To Climb", which both come from "Aliens", the band's fourth full-length album, released on February 24, 2016.
