Kent is a Swedish band founded in Eskilstuna in 1990, with the name Coca-Cola Kids, later Jones & Giftet (Jones & the Poison), and Havsänglar (Angel sharks, literally Sea angels). The band's logo is distinctive, using a lowercase "k" and the ITC Avant Garde Gothic Book typeface. Kent has had several big Swedish radio hits since the breakthrough single "Kräm (så nära får ingen gå)".
As of 2007, they are one of the most popular rock groups in Sweden, but are more or less unknown outside Scandinavia. Kent shortly attempted an international career with English versions of the albums Isola and Hagnesta Hill with accompanying U.S. tours for the former, but they gave up after not reaching the breakthrough they had hoped for. Kent continued their Scandinavian endeavours with three more albums and an EP. The band has sold over a million records. "VinterNoll2" is also an unlockable track in Career Mode on Guitar Hero World Tour.
