Johan Johansson, Mats Nilsson and Pekka Kangas had a band called "Ingenting" (Swedish for "nothing"). Their first and only gig was at Österholmsskolan in Skärholmen. The autumn -77 most of the band members went to Skärholmens Gymnasium and if you worked with a project, you wouldn't have to go to all the lessons, like a band. "Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punkensemble" was started and due to that a lot of people didn't want to go to the lessons, the band got a lot of members. After a chaotic gig in the aula in Skärholmens Gymnasium with 15 band members, of which 5 were singers, the project "Skärholmens Gymnasiums Punkensemble" was over, but the singers Steppan and Alonzo, drummer Johan Johansson and bassist Matte Nilsson liked playing in a band and the became the only constant members of "KSMB". Now also a new band name was taken, "Kurt-Sunes med Berit".

The song "Atomreggae" by KSMB expresses concerns about the dangers of nuclear power and the impact it can have on the environment, particularly on young people, and questions why alternative energy sources are not being pursued. The lyrics express fear towards the potential dangers of nuclear power, or "atomreggae," and the consequences that may arise if things go wrong. The singer is afraid of the potential for nuclear accidents, and the risks that come with playing with something so dangerous.
The song also criticizes those who dismiss concerns about nuclear power and urge for alternative energy solutions, such as wind and solar power, to be explored. The lyrics bring up the idea of sacrificing the environment and the future of young people for the sake of financial gain, highlighting that it is not worth the cost. The song asks listeners to think about these issues and to consider the long-term consequences of energy choices.
