Thomas Johansson and Mikael Frithiof met for the first time in 1995 at a local music store in Halmstad. After becoming better acquainted, they discovered that they both lived on the same street, just a few doors away from each other.
Thomas needed a guitar solo on one of his songs. That particular song turned out to be the first one Thomas and Mikael worked on together, and Paste(swe) was formed.
Mikael and Thomas share many influences, from The Beatles to Depeche Mode. In the early days, their sound resembled, synth-orientated, melodic, industrial guitars. To some extent, this sound is recognizable on the EP Wired.
In 1997, they decided to record an album, and the release was supported by local record label, Silver Records. Shortly after the EP was released, Mikael moved to Stockholm, leading to a pause in their mutual work. The project was forced to rest for a while.
In the year 2000, Paste(swe) tied up all the loose ends, and recorded and released their first full-length album, Superpop. Part of the album was recorded in the Halmstad studio, and part in Stockholm. Superpop gained lots of interest and Paste(swe) received various distribution deals worldwide.
February 2003 saw the release of the single Everybody Knows, which has received frequent airplay on Swedish National Radio, as well as on various college radio stations. This was followed up in May 2003 with the release of the next single and video, Hard To Be In Love, and Paste(swe)'s second album Sequel (DeadFrogRecords) in May 2004.
In 2005 the video of "Love you a lot" was released. Also various shortfilms had music taken from the Sequel album.
In 2006 Paste celebrate their 10 years anniversary and relese "Waste". It's a collection of songs that spans from 1995-2005. Containing demos, un-released songs and pictures with comments to all the songs showing off the different Paste sounds and styles through the years.
In 2008 they released a new single "Life"
2009 starts with a remix of the song Life by Cordon.
