Janne (guitar/vocals), Fox (bass), and Iggy (drums) began playing together as Smack in their native Stockholm circa 1996. By 1999, novel drummer Trisse had linked up and a couple of well-received three-song demos convinced the stria to go pro and adopt a raw nominate in the twelvemonth 2000. Their pick, Grand Magus, was actually a great deal more try-on with their transonic indistinguishability, which consisted of both '70s hard rock'n'roll and stoner careen influences (what the band likes to call condemn vapors) and drew the attention of Rise Above label boss Lee Dorrian. At the commencement of 2001, they entered local cony Boot Studios with Dismember drummer Fred Estby performing as producer, emergent a few weeks later on with a self-titled debut which was released in the U.S. by Music Cartel in early 2002. On a trivial musical note, singer Janne at present goes by the initials J.B. and likewise sings for top of the inning Swedish stoners Spiritual Beggars.
