Brainpool

Bio:

Few bands have gone through such a deconstruction and reconstruction as brainpool and come out alive. The band was started in the early 90s by four teenagers with a taste for new wave and Small Faces. The debut Soda immediately became one of the most succesful records of the swedish new pop wave. After a couple of years of touring and recording (Painkiller, Stay Free) they got tired of it and changed direction completely. They scaled down and became a trio and released a very different album (You Are Here) with influences like New Order, Harold Faltermeyer and Mr Data. The band started to produce (Ed Harcourt, Florian Horwath, Roxette) and play with other acts (A Camp, Righteous Boy, Hideki Kaji, Viebeke Saugestad). During this period they decided to make a rock opera since it felt like the most stupid thing to do. And they did. Four years in the making, Junk offers a broad musical outburst and a sharp view of the world. Listen, and change your opinions on Rock Operas forever...
