The Airwaves are a swedish pop/rock which under some previous band names has been active since the mid 90's.

2003 they started to co-operate with the label Riverside Records (Sweden) and soon their first single was released with major distribution through Bonnier Music.

During this time they came in contact with Clive Jones from 70ths band Black Widow.

Along with some friends, he had written a tribute tune to Abba titled “Hey You Ring Me Tonight” and offered The Airwaves the song because he thought the band with their two female singers could sound a bit like ABBA.

Different versions followed. Andy Larocque (guitarist from King Diamond) produced the final version - released on their whole-length debut album as The Airwaves: "Release (Riverside Records 2017).

Clive Jones had also offered the band some of his other unreleased songs. "Metal Heart" became recorded with Tony Martin (ex-Black Sabbath) on lead vocals

and another Clive Jones-written track "I'm Happy" featured John Culley (Cressida, Black Widow) on solo-guitar. These songs were released on a the vinyl release "Bitchy One" (2021).

The Airwaves are today built around the duo of Sussi Johansson (bass and vocals), Patrik Arvidsson (guitar) with shifting band members from earlier line-ups.
