bob hund is a six-piece rock band from Sweden. Swedish for "Bob dog", their name was borrowed from a television cartoon character. Their music, hard to classify, is by some described as "a frantic celebration of the power of music to invigorate and give life".
The band started in autumn 1991 and the group as it is known today was formed within about half a year. Rehearsing hard and performing at every opportunity, by now they have played live over 300 times all over Scandinavia, most notably at the Roskilde, Hultsfred, Ruisrock and Quart festivals.
Bergman Rock is the band's English language side-project, which has recently released its first self titled album.
