1) The Bricks is a melodic pop band that was started in the autumn of 2004 by Linton Rubino and Fredrik Ljungberg as a small project. The intention was to play american high-school rock but it became something else. Soon singer Anton Dahlberg joined and the first demo was recorded at Liljeholmen Studios with session drummer Johannes Trosso. The sound was crisp and clean.

In March of 2005 the second demo "Tv Couch Rebel" was recorded at Planet Superfly Studios, Linkoping. Jonas Pettersson (who joined The Bricks later on) came down from Stockholm to play the drums. This time the sound was more dirty, but still, as always the melodies were the most important thing.

On the third demo " Masqureade", you can hear the characteristic sound of the great live act that The Bricks are today.

2)The Bricks is a part-fiction humour band, based in the world of Edreja and the Lorien Trust LARP system.
Sammo plays Cassius, a sentient rock golem, and Neil plays Kasimir Svettirssen, the Skald Of Love, whilst Steve plays Lester the Jester.

Songs include "Hobbit Love", "Til Death Do Us Part" (a touching love song about your girlfriend turning into a zombie) and "Norscan Summer".
