The Soundtrack of Our Lives, alternatively known as T.S.O.O.L. or Soundtrack, is a Swedish rock band that formed in 1995 from the ashes of punk band Union Carbide Productions.

The band found critical success in the United States with their 2002 release: Behind the Music. It was nominated for the Best Alternative Album award at the 2003 Grammy Awards.

Lead by singer Ebbot Lundberg, they are a combination of sixties rock giants like The Who and The Kinks, and psychedelic bands like Pink Floyd.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) used their song "Bigtime" as one of WrestleMania 21's theme songs in 2005. "Bigtime", along with "Mother One Track Mind", was featured on the Gran Turismo 4 soundtrack. T.S.O.O.L. songs "Sister Surround" and "Ten Years Ahead" both appear on the In Good Company soundtrack as well.

They toured the US in 2005 with friends Oasis in support of their album Origin Vol. 1.

Much of their next album, Origin Vol. 2, is already recorded though no release date has been announced.
