The Soundtrack of Our Lives came out of Gothenburg in 1995 with a record collection full of vintage rock, punk and psychedelia, and they wore it proudly. Think the Rolling Stones' strut crossed with the Stooges' menace, then dosed with mysticism: every one of their albums carries the abbreviation OEOC, a nod to the Hermetic phrase "as above, so below", and they ran their own label, Akashic Records.
Ebbot Lundberg is the ringmaster, with Ian Person, Mattias Bärjed, Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm and Martin Hederos building the swirling, heavy sound around him. Behind the Music, from 2001, carries "Infra Riot", while "Sister Surround", also from 2001 and found on Stickin' It to You Again, is the big one: a swaggering, sun-dazed anthem with a chorus that rises like a church choir on a bender. It is the kind of song that makes a stadium out of any room.
They called it a day in 2012, then reunited in 2023.
