Eskobar started playing together in the current lineup in late 1996. Back then, they were located in a small town called Åkersberga 30 kilometres north of Stockholm. 1999 they signed a record-deal with V2 Music after sending them a three-song demo.The first single was called On A Train and was released the 21st of Nov 1999. The debut album ‘Til We’re Dead was released in March the following year.
When it was time for the first release Eskobar was still a band without a name. The names that came up were either bad or taken. After a while they gave up. The problem was later solved when a friend of the band met an American manager and asked for help. He suggested Escobar. The band was informed and they approved. After changing the C into a K instead everyone was satisfied. Eskobar was born.

"If you enjoy medium-paced melodic music that gets better each time you listen to it, Eskobar is for you. If you compare emotional athmosphere of the album to seasons of a year, this is most likely a very beginning of Fall, September or something." Read the entire review: Eskobar — Death In Athens

I'm On A Train is an underrated classic. I first encountered it on the soundtrack to Trigger Happy TV series 3.

I agree with you Arkangyal! They were underrated in Melodifestivalen, they would be a good choice for Eurovision, stupid Sweden >.<

I really, really love this band. All their albums are really good & I just don't get why they participated in Melodifestivalen. It was obvious that they'd be underrated. 'Hallelujah New World' was too good for Eurovision.

I'm listening to Escobar, but it's not this Escobar :S They obviously don't have a Last.fm page yet!

I love them and, quite frankly, don't understand how people can find them extremely boring. I think the music captures the feeling of everyday life perfectly, and I'm quite fascinated with everyday life. Oh well, I guess everyone can't have the same taste. But still, I don't like when reviewers start to insult people instead of just stating their opinion.
