The Soundtrack of Our Lives

The Soundtrack of Our Lives, alternatively known as T.S.O.O.L. or Soundtrack, is a Swedish rock band that formed in 1995 from the ashes of punk band Union Carbide Productions.

The band found critical success in the United States with their 2002 (2001 in Sweden) release: Behind the Music. It was nominated for the Best Alternative Album award at the 2003 Grammy Awards.

Their track "Bigtime" featured as the theme of the WWE event Wrestlemania 21, and the track "Mother One Track Mind", was featured on the Gran Turismo 4 soundtrack. T.S.O.O.L. songs "Sister Surround" and "Ten Years Ahead" both appear on the In Good Company soundtrack as well.

They toured the US in 2002 with friends Oasis in support of their album Behind the Music.

Their latest album Communion was released in November 2008.
