The Concretes were formed in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1995, initially comprising Victoria Bergsman, Maria Eriksson, and Lisa Milberg, with Victoria Bergsman as lead vocalist. The group released its debut single "You Can't Hurry Love" in 2003, followed by the "Warm Night" single in 2004, which established their presence in the Swedish indie pop scene. In 2004 the self‑titled album The Concretes was issued internationally, and the single "Chosen One" in 2006 gained radio play across Europe. The band’s second album, In Colour, arrived on 6 September 2006, featuring the track "On The Radio"; both releases received positive reviews and charted modestly in Sweden and the United Kingdom. After Victoria Bergsman departed in late 2006, Lisa Milberg assumed lead vocal duties and the trio released the compilation Layourbattleaxedown in 2007, followed by the album WYWH on 4 October 2010. Throughout their career, The Concretes collaborated with other Swedish artists and contributed a cover of Take That’s "Back for Good" to the 2007 compilation Guilt by Association. The group remained active until 2010, after which members pursued solo projects.
