A stellar chorus Johan. Loving this one man.

can hear this for a tv show or movie - i like it!

We watched the blood red sun
set on the Crossroads of America
Karla sang with John Mellencamp
Pink Houses blasting from the radio
We drove past unsung heroes living ordinary lives
Pulling shifts in motels, malls and bars
Working to survive

We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
where confidence and hope
are things of the past
We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
Through the land of the weary
and the home of the damned

Tacos kept us fed driving down the I-94
eyes glued to the road
Top down, wind in our hair
Adventures waiting to unfold
With every stop and every stay
Met so many souls along the way
the same old story, long hours
and no decent pay

We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
where confidence and hope
are things of the past
We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
Through the land of the weary
and the home of the damned

It broke our hearts to see
what was built over centuries
fall apart
before our eyes

We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
where confidence and hope
are things of the past
We passed through
mid-size, midwest cities
Through the land of the weary
and the home of the damned

LYRICS

You're stuck in my mind
Most of the time
If this is a game I don't wanna play it
No more

Words are violence
I should've kept silent
'Cause never had I felt a heart like yours
Before

I think it's time move on
Can't just communicate by song
Forgive me if my stupid words made it 
All wrong

I understand little
But young hearts are brittle
It takes some time to wander and find yourself
Back home

So pay me no mind
You'll seek and and you'll find
Sometimes we need to find out who we are
Alone

I think it's time to move on 
We're isolated voices 
There'll be no bitterness in my heart 
For your choices

Patience

Set Ablaze

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.
