2. The rock/postrock band Alliance has existed in different constellations since late 2003 and with the current lineup since january 2005. When david and viktor joined the band they found the sound that the band had always looked for. Erik moved back to karlstad for the summer and the band started to write new material inspired by the hardcorestylings of contemporary swedish hardcorebands, but keeping a sort of minimalistic approach to the songs. Now the band sets out to do as many gigs as possible throughout sweden and spread the sound of alliance.

3. An American hip hop group from Brooklyn, NY, the Alliance released their debut album "We Could Get Used To This" on First Priority Music in 1988. The line-up includes The King of Chill (producer/lyricist), DJ Skill (producer/cuts) and K-Swift (producer/lyricist). They're also known as The Alliance of Emcees and/or Brooklyn Alliance.

Other production credits for King of Chill are: Barsha, Audio Two, MC Lyte, Kings of Swing, and MC Peaches.
