Music By Em

Music By Em was formed in 1996 and called it quits late 2000. Of his prior bands, Rasmus Kellerman says Music By Em is the only one that matters. The band asked Kellerman to be its bassist in 1996. Before the first practice, the vocalist is fired and Kellerman is asked to sing. It worked out; by 1997 Music by Em had a publishing deal with Universal Publishing. In 1998 they played at three of the biggest festivals in Sweden and were dubbed "the most promising unsigned band" in fanzines and magazines across the country. Sound Affect magazine voted them "most likely to succeed in 2000" in their winter issue. At this point, the band members included Rasmus Kellerman, Martin Ödman, Peter and Björn Landström, and Anneli Beronius Haake. Early 2000, Music By Em signed a record deal with Sony Music Sweden and started the recording of what was meant to be their debut album, "The Stars We Are". Sadly they broke up before it got released. They did put out one single though, "All Night Always". Read more on Last.fm.
