Young and reckless
We faced the world
sought the thrills
and felt so alive
you and I
Chasing sunsets
our spirits wild
hearts on fire
our dreams unbound
you and I

We lived for the adventure
looked danger in the eye
We were young and felt immortal,
We believed we'd never die.
Then you tripped and lost your balance
and stepped right over the line    
between this world and the next one

Our nights were endless
Under city lights
Wheels spinning fast
With no end in sight
You and I
We took our chances
No fear of falling
Burning bright
We outshone them all
You and I

We lived for the adventure
looked danger in the eye
We were young and felt immortal,
We believed we'd never die.
Then you tripped and lost your balance
and stepped right over the line    
between this world and the next one

But time doesn’t wait
For the fearless kind
The scars remain
No matter how you try
I stood with you on the edge
when you took the dive
The pain that you left 
Is one I cannot hide

We lived for the adventure
looked danger in the eye
We were young and felt immortal,
We believed we'd never die.
Then you tripped and lost your balance
and stepped right over the line    
between this world and the next one

Edge Of Forever

Swedish multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Johan Alm's solo project, Jambrains, is like a Kinder Surprise: you never know exactly what you are going to get but you know it's going to be tasty and expertly packaged. His music is a fusion of strong melodies and the power of guitars en masse with just a pinch of folk thrown in for good measure.

After paying his dues in numerous bands over the years, 2014 saw the birth of Jambrains as a vehicle for Johan to deliver what he calls "power with melody". "I had so many ideas and was writing so many songs but it was just too difficult to find the time to rehearse them with the band, let alone perform or record them. I had two choices - go solo or go insane", he explains.

At the beginning there was no well-defined Jambrains sound - guitars were always a key ingredient but doing lead vocals was new to Johan and style-wise, the songs were very diverse. Eventually a pattern emerged centred around the power and energy of classic rock with the melodies, harmonies and hooks of pop peppered with the ever-present undertow of folk.

The debut album '900 Days' was released in December 2016 and was well received. "It’s personal and fun, and always accompanied by amazing guitar", one review said.  "I wanted to sort of document the first 900 days of Jambrains, so I selected my 12 favorite songs and remixed/remastered them for the album", says Johan. '900 Days' is a perfect introduction to the evolution of the distinctive sound of Jambrains.

The follow up EP 'Life, Love & Lies' was released in September 2017. "This time I wanted more coherent material with regard to both songwriting and production", says Johan. Where the material for the first album was written and recorded over a period stretching over more than 2 years, 'Life, Love & Lies' was written and recorded over the course of 6 months and as a result, the second Jambrains release does sound tighter and more focused.

The third EP Faded Dreams was release in July 2018 and was well received. Johan is currently finalising the a fourth EP named Lost Horizons scheduled for the third quarter of 2019.
