Inge Johansson (born May 10, 1977) is the bass player of the politically charged punk/rock band The (International) Noise Conspiracy, which he formed in Umeå, Sweden in 1998 together with Dennis Lyxzén, Sara Almgren, Ludwig Dahlberg and Lars Strömberg. Before forming The (International) Noise Conspiracy,[1] Johansson was one of the many bass players that played in the straight edge hardcore band Refused. The (International) Noise Conspiracy recorded and toured all over the world as an active band between 1998 and 2009, and recorded two of their albums with producer Rick Rubin for Rubins label American Recordings.[2][3]
Johansson was also the singer of the hardcore band Totalt Jävla Mörker (a band very influenced by Discharge, Norwegian Black Metal and Industrial Music), which he formed in his hometown Skellefteå in 1997. Johansson recorded and toured as an active member with both Totalt Jävla Mörker and The (International) Noise Conspiracy until 2005 when he left Totalt Jävla Mörker due to lack of time and internal disagreement about the band's future musical direction. In 2003 he formed Knugen Faller, a punk band where he played guitar and worked as the main song writer. Knugen Faller split up in 2005 after two eps, one LP and a bunch of tours around Scandinavia.
When not playing with his original bands, Johansson keeps busy as a stand-in and studio bass player for among others, The Lost Patrol Band and Imperial State Electric and he has also worked as a record producer. In 2005 Johansson started the label Ny Våg together with his good friend Dennis Lyxzén, and Johansson tours as a DJ on a regular basis. Between 2009 and 2010 he played in Swedish soul/rock/hiphop-artist Adiam Dymotts back up band with among others Thomas Rusiak.
In 2011 Johansson teamed up with ex Hellacopters-frontman Nicke Andersson to form a band called Alonzo & Fas 3 [4] and during the same year Johansson started to work as a touring member of Brazilian electro outfit CSS. Johansson played bass for CSS until the end of 2012.
In 2012 Johansson started to play bass for English/German power pop band Cryssis, featuring Vom Ritchie (drummer of Die Toten Hosen) and the same year a swedish street punk band called Stilett.
On the 29th of August 2013, Johansson was announced as the new bass player for Against Me!
