DRUNK (1996 - 2006) R.I.P
Dear friends. Drunk have unfortunately decided to throw in the towel and break up, after more than ten years together. Due to the personal situation for some of the band members, it's hard to find time to continue being drunk.
There is no drama in this situation, and we are all good friends.
Thank you for all the good times, the fun times, the drunk times!
Drunk, Oslo, May 2006
History
In 1996 the punkrock-band DRUNK was founded on the ruins of the hardcore-tour-monsters Life, But How To Live It? and So Much Hate. Various members of DRUNK have also played in ancient norwegian hardcore-bands like Barn Av Regnbuen and Bannlyst.
We were all really good friends, and figured it was a shame we didnt have a band together.
At the time we were a bit tired of the fast, complex hardcore-sound of our previous bands, and decided to go for a simpler and slower, but still powerful approach. We also threw in some pop-music. and then. We were DRUNK!
Ok, ok I know that some of you probably think so-called pop-punk is boring with a capital b. Bands who play punkrock with pop-music energy that is. We like to think that we play pop-music with hardcore/punkrock energy! I guess youll have to book us and see us live, to see what Im talking about :)
After some line-up changes. and a few years and a few tours we were talked into recording for our first 7. ( thanx to Tor Andre r.i.p. )
It was actually a quite good idea to make records!
The band was much easier to book.
Shows were much more fun to play.
Bla, bla, bla I guess you can figure out the rest of the story.
We did kind of a bluesbrotherish tour of eastern Canada a few years back.
We played all sorts of weird places. It was hillerious! We had never toured outside europe before, and had a great time with our new Canadian friends in 2 Pump Louie (Toronto), "The Frenetics" (Montreal) and Born Dead Icons (Montreal).
