Biography
Raised Fist is a Swedish hardcore punk band formed in 1993 in Luleå. It currently consists of bassist Andreas Johansson, vocalist Alexander Hagman, guitarists Daniel Holmgren and Jimmy Tikkanen, and drummer Robert Wiiand.
History
Raised Fist was formed in 1993 on the island of Hertsön in Luleå, Sweden, with Alexander "Alle" Hagman as lead vocalist and Andreas "Josse" Johansson on bass, the only remaining original members. The name "Raised Fist" refers to the Rage Against the Machine song "Know Your Enemy", which include the lyrics: "Born with an insight and a raised fist"
They were signed to Burning Heart Records, an independent record label notable for being the home of many influential Swedish punk rock and hardcore punk bands in the 90s and 2000s.
The band played at the Scandinavian Roskilde Festival in 2004.
In 2010 Hagman received a serious electrical shock during a concert in Sundsvall when he touched a power cable which had been punctured by a riot fence. He collapsed on the stage.
