Don’t think I’ve ever been into any, unless there are some that I don’t know are from Norway. I used to pretend to like the first Immortal album but don’t think I ever got through the whole thing

Motorpsycho

Think they’re one of the best bands ever. Glad they have some fans on here. Like their indie/alt rock stuff a bit better than the more prog / space rock stuff they’re doing now, but they’ve barely put a foot wrong for 30 years and their 90s run from Demon Box onwards is untouchable.

Turbonegro

I know a lot of people think they’re a bit sketchy, but when you appreciate the main part of their schtick is taking the piss out of the massive macho strain that ran through 90s punk, they’re hilarious. They’re also absolutely brilliant. Had tickets to see them on the Ass Cobra tour and missed it, which I still regret now.

Svart Framtid

Seems a bit strange to put in a band that’s only released one 7", but that record is one of the top 10 hardcore 7"s of the 80s, which is really saying something. Wish they’d done an album.

Molested

Dreadful name aside, amazing death metal band who put out one incredible album before changing their name, going black metal and turning shit (not saying all Norwegian black metal is shit, but Borknagar definitely are). Really interesting band who used traditional Norwegian folk instruments alongside the blast beats and ultra downtuned guitars. Sounds awful written down but they totally pull it off.

Jaga Jazzist

Love pretty much everything they’ve done. New album this year was great.

Bobbysocks have the second best Eurovision song ever (behind ABBA obviously).

Have you seen the film Northern Disco Lights?

If not, I think you’ll love it.

To be honest the only one I really found to get into was Madrugada, I’d thought I’d found a Norwegian band that was a bit like kent with their first album, sort of doing that 90s-Radiohead era thing but it was just for that album.

I’ll for sure listen to Motorpsycho, I thought they were a metal band for some reason but some of this more alt stuff from them sounds intriguing. I’ll give Jenny Hval a listen too as she seems alright but have a feeling I’ll just end up liking her singles and not the albums like similar American female artists.

I’ve had CC Cowboys, Savoy, and Gazpacho on my wishlist on RYM for a while.

  4. Dunno, A-ha, probably?

(I’ve tried with Jenny Hval a bunch of times and I think I appreciate her music more than I enjoy it.)

#46

Would totally recommend kicking off with either Blissard or Timothy’s Monster form their more ‘alt rock’ period. They’re both incredible. The term ‘alt rock’ sells them pretty short too

#47

Svarte Greiner is a stage name for Erik K Skodvin. Deaf Center is a project he does with Otto A Totland.

Generally everything he does is great!
