UNGDOMSKULEN
Thursday
Ungdomskulen is a Norwegian band that so far has drawn more people to their gigs in London and New York than in Bergen and Oslo (without any further comparison). Back here, they’ve been critic faves for a long time, and internationally they’ve gotten more praise than most bands could ever dream of – and in big music mags like NME, Pitchfork, Uncut and Kerrang, too. Live-wise, the power trio has grown into a brutal and rhythmic monster.
The band’s production rate is impeccable; five 7-inches and a full-length CD in only a couple of years, as well as a new album that will be out soon. We’ve heard it, and it’s great!
Their new album ‘Bisexual’ will be out March 9. They seem to have adopted the motto “More of everything!” this time around. There are more wicked songs, noise, prog, club scene influences, hard beats and uncompromising song structures on this release than on previous ones. It’s quite simply a really wicked record.
