History
Before Brainbombs and formation (1985)
Before Brainbombs, singer Peter Råberg was in a band called "Dödshjälp fd. Hedebyborna".[3] Although the band only lasted 1 year. (1981-1982)[4] Initially, the lineup for Brainbombs was Peter Råberg on vocals, Jonas Tiljander on guitar, Andreas Lönnquist on bass and Anders (Drajan) Bryngelsson on drums. But Andreas was kicked after their first rehearsal.[2] Soon after, they got a second guitarist called Lanchy Orre from the hardcore band Totalitär[5] and Peter's elder brother,[2] Dan who wrote lyrics and played trumpet.
