Info from Janne Starks EncyclopediaInitially formed by Per as an anti-teacher band, Torsten Elms Rivaler (Torsten Elm was their headmaster). In 1985 he teamed up with Patrik. The initials and logo stuck, but the name was changed. Mid-heavy hard rock with roots in the 80's metal scene this band shows fine potential. The track "Memories I" from the MCD, was used as soundtrack for the movie Hatman. It seems this band released a record every fifth year (the Def Leppard syndrome, eh?). Well, to be honest they did release the demo 'Sick World' in 1996. In 1997 the song "Doped" appeared on the compilation 'Rape-CakeRecords Nr. 4' and in 1998 the song "So What!" was featured on the compilation 'Bay of Tunes'. On 'Stained' the band had adopted a much heavier edge and the line-up had also changed. Keyboard player Michael Rothsten was out while guitarist Mats and singer Linus was in (Per had previously handled the lead vocals, too). It was produced by Mick Nordström (Modest Attraction, Cornerstone, Spearfish).
