Since they signed for EMI in 1994, Henrik has told his story about fear, broken hearts and love for all the enthusiastic fans. Early Henrik developed his trademark habit of sticking star shaped glitter under his eyes, an act that supposedly alone spawned the Swedish "panda" indie subculture (many pandas are often refered to as BD-girls/-boys) among the band's young fans, who followed the Berggren star tradition.
Broder Daniel released four official albums.
Saturday Night Engine (1995)
Broder Daniel (1996)
Forever (1998)
Cruel Town (2003)
Between and after that, the band released some collections.
Singles (2000 - a collection of singles released until then)
No Time For Us 1989-2004 (2005 - mostly later singles and different versions and demos of older tracks)
The Demos 1989-1997 (2005 - a vinyl-only demo collection)
Broder Daniel also featured three songs (Underground, Whirlwind and I'll be gone) on the soundtrack of internationally famous Swedish film Show me love (Fucking Åmål in Sweden) by Lukas Moodysson.
Currently Berggren mostly performs acoustic solo tours, and as of january 2007 nothing has been heard from the band in a long time. "Broder Daniels future is always unsure" the singer said in an official message to his fans on the band's homepage 03/16/2006, but emphasized that it had nothing to do with him playing solo.
On the 30th march 2008 guitarist Anders Göthberg sadly commited suicide, and the band held a farewell concert in his honour at the Way Out West festival in their hometown Gothenburg, 8th august 2008.
In November 2019 the band released a live album with the title Live 2003, consisting of a concert from the Cruel Town tour in Stockholm in 2003.

The lyrics to Broder Daniel's song "Underground" are a declaration of rebellion against societal norms and expectations. The repeated phrase "We look so good together" suggests a sense of unity and togetherness among those who are deemed "underground", i.e. those who exist outside of mainstream society. The repetition of "We are underground" reinforces this concept, and the defiant "We don't care what you say about us" serves as a rejection of any negative opinions or judgments from the mainstream world.
The chorus of the song shifts into an aggressive tone, with the assertion "We bury you" suggesting a call to action against those who oppress or marginalize those who are "underground". The final "wowowow" section serves as a release of energy and emotion, emphasizing the passion and intensity of those who identify with the underground movement.
Overall, "Underground" is a powerful statement of solidarity and defiance, with its lyrics urging those who are underground to remain true to themselves and reject any attempts to silence or dismiss them.
