Biography
Suburban Kids with Biblical Names is a Swedish twee pop band consisting of Johan Hedberg and Peter Gunnarsson. The band was formed in December 2003, in Haninge. Their name comes from a lyric in the song "People" by the Silver Jews.
History

They were signed to Labrador Records and released their first EP, #1. In 2005, they released their second EP, #2. Their debut album #3 was released in October 2005 in Sweden and has subsequently been released by Minty Fresh in the US and by Yesboyicecream Records in the UK and Ireland. Their song "Rent a Wreck" from #3 is featured in the Prius "Yes" commercial.
