THE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES

In 1995 - From the ashes of cult band Union Carbide Productions (once hailed by Kurt Cobain among others) -The Soundtrack Of Our Lives has been floating around in our hemisphere producing 5 epic albums and are currently working on their sixth.

Signed by Warner in Scandinavia 1996 – their classic debut album "Welcome To The Infant Freebase" was released. Since then Tsool has gained a lot of manic followers among critics and contemporary artists. Some rewievers even hailed them as "the greatest space-rock´n roll band in the history of the eardrum".

Their worldwide breakthrough in the Anglo-Saxon world came with their 3rd effort called "Behind The Music" (first release in 2001) which led to a number of TV-Appearances (David Letterman, Conan O´Brian, Jay Leno & Jools Holland) and constant touring all over the world.

The following releases of "Origin 1" (released in 2004) and double album "A Present From The Past" (released 2006) made their fanbase grow bigger which ultimately led to a tie-break of exhaustion for the constantly touring sixpiece combo. In the year of 2007, after 3 tours in one month covering China, Spain and Canada, they logically decided to rest...

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives are now back with new material which is scheduled to be released this fall. The working title is "Origin 2" and they will present some of their new songs live at the South by Southwest music conference in Austin, Texas. So stay tuned even if you happen to be deaf...
