First Aid Kit

First Aid Kit are a folk duo comprising sisters Johanna and Klara Söderberg from Enskede in the southern part of Stockholm, Sweden. They create music that blends folk, indie rock, and country, featuring heartfelt lyrics and lilting harmonies.

Johanna and Klara Söderberg's father, Benkt Söderberg, was the guitarist and co-songwriter of the Swedish rock-pop band Lolita Pop from 1979 to 1989. Lolita Pop was a successful band in Sweden, releasing eight albums. Benkt Söderberg left Lolita Pop to pursue a career as a teacher of history and religion before Johanna was born. He rejoined the band when they reunited in 2019.

The teenage siblings began composing songs in 2007, taking their name at random from an English dictionary. "I was 13, young and naïve and looking through a dictionary, looking for a name," Klara Söderberg told Under The Radar. "Like I wanted something, if I would ever make music, I wanted to have a name for it, and I found First Aid Kit and just liked the meaning of it."
