Brainpool and its members are brave people. From Malmö, in Southern Sweden, this guitar-driven retro rock band is trying to change the world with every note they put to paper. Oh, excuse me.

I can only say they continue to follow this path and that the musical version will move to new york and expose a new audience to this great music!
