Radioaktiva räker (Swedish: '''Radioactive shrimps''') was a Swedish trallpunk band, formed in Hofors in 1991. The first line up was Johan Anttila, Daniel Torro, Jonas Lund and Mattias Johansson. In the summer of 1992 they were signed to the record label Beat Butchers. During the 1990s Radiaktive räker was one of the biggest punk bands in Sweden.[1] Daniel Torro was later replaced by Jimmy Petterson. Radioaktiva räker split up 2003 after releasing an album called Finito and playing a summer tour.[2]
