There are at least six artists and bands who have performed with the name “Passenger”. The following order is loosely based on the last.fm statistics.
1. A Swedish alternative metal band including members of In Flames.
2. A Brighton (UK) based alternative folk band.
3. A San José, Costa Rica hardcore/screamo band.
4. A Mesa, Arizona based acoustic rock band.
5. A rap artist from Texas.
6. An old alias of DJ Tiësto.
7. A Chicago-based instrumental rock band.
8. A psytrance project of MFG’s Guy Zukrel.
———————————————
Passenger was formed in 1995 by Sten and Engelin. Both members wanted to do something that was not thrash metal or melodic death metal unlike the bands they played in. At its early stages the band was originally called “Cliff”. Under the name Cliff they recorded two demos in Studio Fredman that were never released. After a break in the band and after Engelin was hired as a session guitarist for In Flames’ Whoracle tour, Anders Fridén, the vocalist of In Flames showed interest in Passenger and joined the band.
In the year 2000 the band came back from its break and went on to record a demo. In 2001 the band recorded another demo in which early versions of the songs “Used”, “In My Head”, “Circus” and “Drowning City” were recorded. After a third demo the band finally recorded and released their debut album entitled Passenger. A video for “In Reverse” was also released.
