Stockholm, Sweden (1999 – present)

Peter Bjorn and John were formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1999. Made up of members Peter Morén on vocals, guitar, and harmonica; Björn Yttling on vocals, bass, and keyboards; and John Eriksson on drums, percussion, and vocals. The band is influenced by the sounds of classic ’60s baroque pop, power pop, and new wave.

The band gained lots of critical recognition in Great Britain and USA during 2006 and 2007 due to the single “Young Folks”, whilst staying virtually unknown in their homeland, Sweden.

I captured the most awesome performance of 'Up Against The Wall' in Manchester last March and you should check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHZhGXeEotU The best part for me is around 4:00 onwards, amazing guitar work.

Writer's Block was so super when i got it at first. But Living Thing made it sound boring in comparison soon after. LT>WB

It's unfortunate that Peter Bjorn and John can never top "Writer's Block". It's just too good.

Apart from all the hype Young Folks received Writer's Block is one of the most consistent quality albums i ever heard in this kind of music.
