Broder Daniel, often referred to as BD, was a Swedish indie rock band formed in 1989 in Gothenburg by a singer and bassist during their junior high school years. They were soon joined by a drummer. The band's significant breakthrough occurred in 1998 when director Lukas Moodysson included three of their songs in the soundtrack for the film Fucking Åmål (English title: Show Me Love). Regarded as a cornerstone of Swedish alternative music in the 1990s, Broder Daniel experienced instability with members leaving the band periodically. Their song "Shoreline" is considered a modern classic in Sweden, with the phrase "play Shoreline" ("spela Shoreline" in Swedish) frequently referenced in public. Tragedy struck in 2008 when guitarist and songwriter David Göthberg took his own life, leading the remaining members to disband the band. They held a final concert at the Way Out West festival in Gothenburg later that year as a tribute to Göthberg. In 2014, a monument called The Shoreline memorial was erected in memory of Göthberg and Broder Daniel near the site of the band's last concert in Slottsskogen park. In 2018, the band was inducted into the Swedish Music Hall of Fame, with part of the justification noting that songs like "Underground," "When We Were Winning," and the indie march "Shoreline" became the soundtrack for an entire generation. The band's lineup included:
