Sune Wagner and Jakob Jørgensen played their first concert in
Sønderborg under the name of Western Front, in 1989. They recorded their first
demo entitled
I Never Change in 1992. That year, the band moved to
Copenhagen and Martin Bjerregaard joined the band to be a drummer. The trio went to
Sweden to record the self-financed
EP,
I Died in my Teens. The song by the same name made Single of the Week in
Kerrang! Psyched up Janis recorded their debut full-length album
Swell in
Wales with
Craig Leon as
record producer. In 1995 the band signed with
British record company This Way Up/Universal. The year after, they moved to
England to pursue their career, but without much luck. They opened the largest stage at the
Roskilde Festival in
1996. Martin had just left the band, so
Killing Joke's drummer was borrowed for the concert. In 1996 the band recorded the album
Beats Me in England which was
mixed at
Abbey Road Studios. Jesper "Yebo" Reginal from the band
Thau became the new drummer. In 1998 Psyched Up Janis toured Denmark with the album
Enter The Super Peppermint Lounge. Sune played drums on the album himself. In 1999, after moving to the
United States, they released the acoustic album
The Quiet Album and played a "last concert" together at
the 1999 Roskilde Festival. Some old demos were released that same year under the name
Hi-Fi Low Life. The band reformed, briefly in 2009 and again in 2014 playing live concerts and the
Roskilde festival. Jakob Jørgensen later formed the band Knallert. Yet later (in 2015) he played bass in
Childrenn. Martin Bjerregaard toured and recorded with
Australian
punk-band
The Saints and later joined the band
Racetrack Babies. Sune has played with surf-band
The Tremolo Beer Gut and occasionally with
Sort Sol. In 2002 he presented his new band
The Raveonettes with Sharin Foo. ==Discography==
