Biography

Brainpool is a pop music group from Lund, Sweden. They were most popular in the mid-1990s when they released three infectuous power-pop albums (“Soda” 1994, “Painkiller” 1995 and “Stay Free” 1996). During this period they sold over 100 000 albums in Sweden and enjoyed massive critical acclaim. In 1997 their lead singer, Janne Kask, left the group. The remaining three members continued as a trio and released “You Are Here” in 1999, a radical musical departure from the style of their previous albums. This new direction climaxed with the release of the rock opera “Junk” in 2004. This double album is an incredibly ambitious yet easily accesible work that took four years to complete. There is currently work underway to stage “Junk” as a stage production in the US. The band has performed “Junk” once live with malmö Symphony Orchestra in 2004.

The members of Brainpool has a prolific musical life outside of the band. Jens Jansson as a drummer with numerous acts (A Camp, Per Gessle, Florian Horwath, Bo Sundström, Roxette etc), David Birde as a musician and songwriter (Metro Jets, Vibeke Saugestad, Florian Horwath, Bo Sundström etc) and Christoffer Lundquist as a producer/musician/engineer (Ulf Lundell, Per Gessle, Roxette, Bo Sundström, Ed Harcourt, Moneybrother etc) working almost exclusively in his own studio “The Aerosol Grey Machine” (www.junkmusik.com/agm.html)

    Ack ack, när man steg in i den lokala videoaffären i min håla till hemstad i mitten av 90-talet och inhandlade Bandstarter-singeln med pistolen på framsidan. Vilken sanslöst bra låt det är, fortfarande!

    Tycker alla låtar borde varit superhits, ärligt talat. Plus att jag blir varm inombords så fort jag hör We Aim to Please på tv. Samtidigt som jag rynkar lite på näsan.

    bandstarter är ju "hitten" så det är ju givet att den har mer plays...

    jag har för mig att den var med i nån film eller nåt sånt här samlingsalbum och då är det nog möjligt att folk börjar lyssna på den, men jag är inte helt säker
