Formed in Sweden in 1993, Sharp Nine consist of Jesper Starander (vocals), brother Joacim Starander (guitar), Andreas Jonasson (guitar), Dan Hansson (bass) and Frederick Lindehall (drums).
After first honing their live set on popular hard rock covers they set about writing their own material, with all the members contributing to the songwriting process. After a heavy performance schedule in and around Stockholm, the group began work at Radiostudio 12 on their debut album. Produced by the band with Tommy Korge, the finished result owed much to the Seattle grunge boom, though there were also trace elements of industrial music and more conventional rock pop.
