Björkander studied piano with Lundberg at the Stockholm Conservatory. He founded a music institute in Stockholm in 1917.

Artist: The Soundtrack of Our Lives
Ebbot Lundberg (vocals) and Bjorn Olsson (guitar) were founders of the wildly exciting Swedish band Union Carbide Productions, which recorded several albums that mixed Captain Beefheart and punk (think Stooges) to wonderful effect in the late '80s. Eventually Ian Person joined Union Carbide Productions on guitar. By this point, however, Lundberg... [+] Read More
Artist: Union Carbide Productions
How about a bunch of thuggish-sounding, Stooges-inspired pounders from...Sweden? That's right, you American xenophobes, I said Sweden. In fact, I can think of few bands who employed the Stooges primal riff-thud'n'noise better than UCP. Fueled by the rampaging guitars of Patrick Caganis and Bjorn Olsson, and the half-octave, node-encrusted vocal... [+] Read More
Artist: The Crimson Shadows
The Crimson Shadows were one of several Swedish bands of the 1980s to emulate the sound of psychedelic-hued 1960s American garage rock, with the requisite cheesy organ, attitude-laden vocals and lyrics, and vocal harmonies to distinguish it from the less melodic punk of the post-'60s variety. They put it out a couple of very rare singles, and... [+] Read More

After a slew... [+] Read More
Artist: Nicolai Dunger
The story goes that Nicolai Dunger was discovered singing and playing guitar on his balcony in Piteå, Sweden. But the representative for Telegram who signed him was probably not very happy with the experimental music that emerged from the supposed singer/songwriter and the record Songs Wearing Clothes, which few people have heard about. But... [+] Read More
Artist: Barusta
With the release of the EP The Game in the spring of 1998, the music press had found their most promising debutantes that year. A few months later, the single "Satellite" became a big radio hit, making Barusta known outside the ranks of critics. By the time Evolution was released in November, the hype had grown to a level of promising... [+] Read More
Artist: My Orchard
On its increasingly popular recordings for the Swedish Massproduktion label, My Orchard adds a ornamental touch of electronica subtlety to its catchy style of forceful guitar-driven pop/rock.
