In our photo issue, we told you that Swedish indie rock band Peter Bjorn and John is all about breaking and transforming their boredom in as many ways as they possibly and randomly can think of.

And what better music to get crazy to other than the Beatles? Here’s their personal list of influences if they’re going to have their own Sgt. Pepper cover.

And Smokey Robinson ’cause he is a genius.
And John Cassavetes ’cause he is also a genius.
And my dog Esther.
And Beyonce and Jay-z.
And some great french writers like Boris Vian and Raymond Queneau.
