Moneybrother
High-octane indie rock fueled by Northern Soul horns and a raspy, heart-on-sleeve vocal. It is the sound of a late-night city adventure that never wants to end.

Moneybrother sounds like a punk rocker who fell head-over-heels for a Motown record collection. The music is a collision of jagged indie rock energy and the lush, brass-heavy arrangements of classic soul. It is big, cinematic, and unashamedly emotional, characterized by Anders Wendin's gravelly voice that sounds like it has been seasoned by a thousand late nights.
What makes him distinctive is the 'Moneybrother' formula: taking the DIY urgency of his punk roots and applying it to the sophisticated structures of 60s pop and R&B. While his peers in the early 2000s Swedish indie scene were leaning into minimalism or garage rock, Wendin went for the 'Wall of Sound' approach, incorporating saxophones, organs, and soaring backing vocals to create something that feels both vintage and vital.
Start with the album 'Blood Panic'. It is the definitive statement of his sound, featuring the massive hit 'Reconsider Me', which perfectly balances his soulful croon with a driving, anthemic rock pulse that demands you sing along.
Anders Olof Wendin (born 16 March 1975, Norrtälje, Sweden) is a Swedish rock musician, best known for his solo project Moneybrother.
