The Refreshments is a Swedish rock group formed 1990 in Gävle.
During their first years they mainly played covers of 1950s rock-n-roll songs. Their debut album was the 1995 Both Rock'n'Roll followed by Trouble Boys. Both albums were produced by Billy Bremner who also played in the band during a few years.
Most of the songs are written by bass player Joakim Arnell. After the piano player Johan Blohm joined the band they also play an occational country song. Two of their biggest hits are Miss You Miss Belinda and One Dance, One Rose, One Kiss. In 2003 thay had a big selling album with Rock'n'Roll X-mas.
