Suburban Kids with Biblical Names wants to ”turn all the dance floors into a burnings inferno of Ba-ba-ba” to quote the Kids themselves. And with their debut single “Rent a wreck”, they surely did.

They’ve only existed since December 2003, still they Already sound as if they’ve been writing songs together since the beginning of time. Or perhaps more like children who’ve played together forever. There’s very playful and extremely catchy about their music that makes our bodies quiver each time we hear them.

Suburban Kids with Biblical Names are Johan Hedberg and Peter Gunnarsson. They make and record their music in the hallway or the storehouse at the home of Peter’s kind parents. Johan makes simple drafts of the songs and then Peter polish them and turn them into shiny pop songs.

They put two songs on an internet site in the beginning of 2004 and got very good response from people. The Sonic magazine got in touch and interviewed them and put a song on their compilation. Soon after this they were signed to Labrador Records.

In 2005 Labrador released their debut album simply called #3 which not only reached the charts in Sweden and got amazing reviews here - it was somewhat of a slowly growing world wide success. The album was released late 2006 North America and in 2007 the UK.

The kids are right now working on a new EP, presumably to be named #4, due to be released in November/December 2008 and a new album which should be out in the spring of 2009
