Peter Bjorn and John are a Swedish indie pop/rock band, often abbreviated as PB&J, that came into the international spotlight during the mid-2000s. Consisting of members Peter Morén (vocals, guitar), Björn Yttling (bass guitar, keyboards, and vocals), and John Eriksson, also known as John Essing (drums, percussion, and vocals), the trio formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1999. They are known for their range of sounds, from peppy pop tunes to more reflective melancholic tracks, exhibiting a firm grasp of musical versatility and infectious melodies.

Though they had been making music and gaining fame in their native Sweden since the early 2000s, Peter Bjorn and John reached international acclaim with their 2006 album "Writer's Block" and the hit single "Young Folks," which featured a catchy whistling hook that became a ubiquitous facet of pop culture. Over the years, they have continued to evolve their sound, creating a blend of catchy pop, rock, and more experimental textures. Their music remains relevant as they consistently release new music, such as the tunes in the list including "Australia (Peter Bjorn and John Remix)" and "Endless Dream." With a discography that spans over two decades, the band has secured its place in the indie music scene as both influential and enduring artists.
