Part of the late-'90s explosion of Swedish guitar pop bands,
Brainpool was formed in Lund, Sweden, by vocalist Janne Kask, guitarist
David Birde, bassist
Christoffer Lundquist, and drummer
Jens Jansson. Their
Beatles influence was displayed on such albums as 1994's Soda, 1995's Painkiller, and 1996's Stay Free. Kask left the band in 1997, but the remaining members stayed together, releasing
You Are Here in 1999. ~ Steve Huey
