ARMY OF LOVERS
Formed in Sweden in 1987 by Alexander Bard, Jean-Pierre Barda and Camilla Henemark, Army Of Lovers were one of the most visually distinctive bands of their era, with their campily outlandish costumes mostly designed by fashionista Camilla Thulin. Masterminded by sex worker-turned-economics graduate Bard, the band was formed from the ashes of bubblegum outfit Barbie, hitting the UK chart (if at the lower end) with such songs such as Obsession and Ride The Bullet. They split in ’96, reformed in 2001, disbanded again in 2009 before reuniting in 2012, releasing their latest album, Sexodus, in 2023.
