Norwegian scene is thriving and pulsing with super bands and Fights from Oslo are definitely one of them. They released new single called Five AM for you and check it out!
FIGHTS is a punk rock band from Oslo, Norway, with influences from the good old scandirock.
With hard drumming, catchy riffs, heavy bass and screaming vocals they are determined to prove those who thinks that rock has died – wrong. The themes in their songs spans from lonely guys who gets high on asbestos and deadly flying fishes.
“Five AM” is their difficult second single. But with even harder riffs than before, and a message to all of those caring so much about everything to relax a little, – well, it might not be that difficult at all. “Five AM” is about the fact that few good things happens after midnight, but it can be healthy and good for you to get away sometimes and care less.
The Damned drummer “Pinch” (Andrew Pinching) announced today he is parting ways with the seminal UK punk act.
A statement from the drummer read:
After 20 years with The Damned it’s time for me to move on. Having just fulfilled a dream playing Madison Square Garden, the upcoming London Palladium show seems like an obvious stepping off point for me. I’ve been lucky enough to meet some heroes and play shows with legendary bands and amazing characters. I send my love to my band mates past and present as well as everyone in the Damned organization and wish them all the best for the future.
Up the Punks.
Pinch
The Damned will perform their final show with Pinch at London Palladium on October 27th.
Norwegian punk scene is a new and mostly unexplored territory for me, but I discover more and more fantastic bands each day, and Cockroach Clan is one of those bands. Their record is out with Fysisk Format.
These guys and their songs date back 25 years and the vocalist of this band is none other than Messiah, who sang for Mayhem back in the days. But, let us focus on Cockroach Clan and leave past be the past. This record contains 12 songs some being new recordings of old hits as well as a handful of new tracks and a cover of Mountain Goat’s Going to Georgia. The music is hard punkrock, streetwise punk with head and tail, anthemic melodies and hymnic choruses just made to inflame your old punkrock heart. This is not some mellow pop punk emo, this is punk with balls and soul. Songs like Cockroach Fandango, On An Island or Facts On The Wall are sure to become your favorites. Super band, great record!
