Hästpojken is a Swedish pop-rock group from Gothenburg.[http://www.gso.se/sv/event/2014-10-24/20:00/Popical:-H%C3%A4stpojken Gothenburg Symfoniker website: Popical - Hästpojken] {{in lang|sv}} The origin of the name Hästpojken (literally horseboy in Swedish) remains a mystery.
The band was founded in 2007 and originally consisted of Martin Elisson, vocalist from Bad Cash Quartet, Adam Bolméus, guitarist also from the same band and Lars Malmros (Pop-Lars) drummer from Broder Daniel. This line-up released the band's debut album Caligula in 2008. Elisson and Bolmeus would write most of materials. 2010 saw the follow-up album Från där jag ropar after which Lars Malmros left the band. The band would see many changes in the line-up. The band's third album is En magisk tanke released in 2013.[http://nojesguiden.se/artiklar/hastpojken-vaxer-upp Nöjesguiden: HÄSTPOJKEN VÄXER UPP] {{in lang|sv}} In 2014, Hästpojken played with Göteborgs symfoniker.[http://www.gp.se/kulturnoje/recensioner/konsert/konsert2fyrar/1.2528105-hastpojken-stenhammarsalen-fredag Göteborgs-Posten: Hästpojken | Stenhammarsalen, fredag] {{in lang|sv}} The band is preparing a new album for release in 2015.[http://www.blixten.se/vara-artister-och-evenemang/hastpojken Blixten: Hästpojken] {{in lang|sv}}
