The Soundtrack Of Our Lives

The Soundtrack of Our Lives, often abbreviated T.S.O.O.L., was a Swedish rock band that formed in Gothenburg in 1995, originally formed by Ebbot Lundberg, Björn Olsson, Ian Person, Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm, Fredrik Sandsten and Martin Hederos.

The Homo Habilis Blues EP was released in 1996, followed by the full-length Welcome to the Infant Freebase the same year, after which Olsson left the touring aspect of the band to the other members (he remained a part of the band in the studio, while maintaining his own solo career). The work on a second album commenced in 1998, and the band released Extended Revelation for the Psychic Weaklings of Western Civilization late that year.

The new millennium found the Soundtrack of Our Lives with an American contract through Universal's Republic subsidiary, which released 2001's Behind the Music and 2005's Origin, Vol. 1. This was followed by the extensive multi-disc retrospective Present from the Past in 2006 and the EP Bonus Future Excerpts CD in 2008, as well as the singles 'Thrill Me' b/w 'Swim Like a Bird (This One Has Not Flown)' and 'Utopia' b/w 'Just a Brother.'

In 2008, The Soundtrack of Our Lives released the stellar double album Communion, which appeared on Yep Roc in the US. The single 'Karmageddon' followed in 2010 as a precursor to 2011's Golden Greats No. 1, another compilation that included EP, single, and album tracks from throughout the band's recorded history.

In the early summer of 2012, the Soundtrack of Our Lives issued a new full-length in the 13-track Throw It to the Universe.
