Vacuum had three members: Mattias Lindblom on vocals, Marina Schiptjenko and Alexander Bard playing keyboards. The band acquired a lot of fans, especially in Russia. But soon Alexander left Vacuum and started producing a new disco band Alcazar, which had a huge success in many countries.

Though Alexander's activity as a songwriter and producer had stunning results, he has always claimed that it is only his hobby. Apart of it, he is reading lectures on economics and writing books. A book called Netocracy co-written by Bard was translated to different languages and was highly appreciated by critics. Now Alexander is working on a new book.

His hobbies are horse-breeding, reading philosophic books and listening to modern classical composers. He likes oriental food and driving fast.

– это самый модный музыкальный проект, который появился в Швеции за последние годы. Группа состоит из Мартина Ролински, 24-летнего вокалиста, голубоглазого блондина с великолепным поп-вокалом, а также Александра Барда за лэптопом и Марины Шипченко за синтезатором, известными также по супер-популярным проектам Army Of Lovers и Vacuum. BWO – это современная городская электронная поп-музыка, рассчитанная на слушателей всех возрастов и следующая лучшим шведским музыкальным традициям Abba и Roxette. Группа сама пишет тексты и музыку своих хитов с помощью со-продюсера Андерса Ханссона. Дебютный альбом BWO “Prototype” был издан в родной Швеции в марте 2005 года, мгновенно став платиновым, а также отмеченным шведским аналогом премии Грэмми. С первого альбома синглами, вошедшими в Топ-10, стали целых 7 песен! Особая любовь у группы BWO к России – именно у нас дебютный альбом был выпущен на несколько месяцев раньше, чем во всем остальном мире. А первый хит группы “Living In A Fantasy” держался в отечественных поп-чартах более 8 месяцев подряд! BWO также добились огромного успеха в Украине, Турции, Болгарии, Швейцарии, Таиланде, Германии, Финляндии, и даже на таком экзотическом рынке как Ливан. В Великобритании BWO попали в престижные клубные чарты с ремиксами от создателей проекта Shapeshifters. “Halcyon Days” – второй альбом группы и самая смелая заявка на лидерство в мировых чартах. В России пластинка увидит свет 22 мая, всего на месяц позже, чем в Швеции и на 3 месяца раньше, чем во всей остальной Европе! Первый сингл “Temple Of Love” – это настоящий поп-хит с сильным клубным звучанием, уже лидировавший несколько недель в национальном чарте Швеции. Вторым синглом с нового альбома станет красивая баллада в фирменном стиле BWO “We Could Be Heroes”. В новый альбом также вошли 4 супер-хита с дебютного альбома, включая хиты №1 “Sunshine In The Rain” и “Open Door”. А также сюрприз для поклонников Army Of Lovers – кавер на супер-хит “Obsession”..
