Introduction for newcomers: Let’s clarify the basics. Brain isn’t just a lump nestled between your shoulders; it’s a rock band. Here’s the inside scoop: Our ”headquarters” proudly stand in Stockholm, Sweden. It’s where we craft, record, and brew up original melodic rock tunes infused with that ’70s vibe, a dash of blues, some progressive rock, and hefty doses of dopamine.

First rehearsals after summer
We’re super excited to start playing together again after this summer holidays and all. It’s always fun but also a little scary to see if we are still locked in and if everything is in place.
