Reviews Blacks On Blondes EP:

VICE MAGAZINE: Hiawata! are a bit like the older guys who hang around teenage beach parties, all cute and affectionate and predatory at the same time. First, they get you warm and snuggly with their mellow guitars, soft voices and rampant use of exclamation marks. Then, just as you’re starting to feel relaxed, they hit you on the back of the head with a Quaalude and the vaguest suggestion of bestiality. In real life they’re the dreg of society, but in music I’m actually kind of taking to it! ELLIE FENTE

IT'S A TRAP: 7/10. This light, energetic release from Hiawata! is nothing if not fun and to the point. Layered harmonies and a love of percussion are noticeable throughout, and the whole thing is over sooner than expected. The premature ending is a shame too, as the songs sparkle with personality and humor. Kicking off with the gentle and energetic "Love you like an animal", the "Blacks on blondes" EP plays darker lyrical themes with dismissive, upbeat sounds. With convincing vocals and a bluesy rock feel, it could form the basis of a soundtrack to a coming-of-age surf movie set in the 80s. "Shake it off" is the final and stand-out track of this entirely too-short EP, leaving you wondering what else these boys could do if they were only given the chance. RHIANNON ELSTON

75 OR LESS: I welcome the '90s revival Hiawata! and a few other bands (Times New Viking, Wet Paint) are ushering in with their imperfect musicianship, bent vocals and inexhaustible energy. The five little songs on Blacks on Blondes remind me of the years before the internet made finding good music so easy, when the only real option was scouring mailorder catalogs and taking inexpensive risks. Their melody-rich guitar-heavy music would have fit nicely between Sebadoh and Built to Spill on mixtapes, and I might have to throw "Good Looks" on one now. - PAUL

BIG DIPPER: Bandet slapp en EP denne uka som er noe av det friskeste og mest fengende vi har hørt på evigheter. Som en perfekt krysning av pop-Jesus & Mary Chain, tidlig Teenage Fanclub og ikke minst Go-betweens. Hiawata! er virkelig et band å bli glade i for alle bankende pophjerter

More to come... Release date May 19th in Norway. European dates will be posted soon.

This is some of the things said about us and our first album:

New Musical Express NME: 'Indie pop from Oslo, Norway, Hiawata remind me of cutie pop stalwarts Comet Gain, or Belle & Sebastian playing Nirvana songs. Totally tweemo!'

Farojournalen: 'Gjengen fra Oslo er musikalsk et sted mellom en britisk Beach Boys kopi og King Midas sitt debutalbum. De gjør et poeng ut av at tekstene er pinlige å synge, og skryter uhemmet av et sitat fra NME der de sammenlignes med "Belle & Sebastian playing Nirvana songs". Det låter faktisk sånn. Lekre melodier, lyst lydbilde og en unorsk stil. Debutalbumet er fryktelig kort, knapt 30 minutter, hvorav fem forsvinner i tommhet mens man venter på et "hemmelig bonusspor" i siste spor. De kommer fort til poenget, og "something for the ladies (in us)" er en perle. Ved slippet er albumet allerede klart for Spania og Portugal i April. Kan i første omgang anbefales til målgruppen som kjøper The Lionheart Brothers og Superfamily.'

Øya 07: ‘Denne sympatiske gjengen ga for kort tid siden ut debutalbumet They Could’ve Been Bigger Than Hiawata! Her finner man indie og pop som kjennere har sammenlignet med Beach Boys, The Lionheart Brothers, Belle & Sebastian, Television Personalities og mye mer. Oslo-bandet skal i sommer gjøre sin Øya-debut og mange av hovedstadens ivrigste indiehjerter gleder seg.’

RadioNova: 'Indianerne kommer fra norske forstadene, men klarer å høres ut som det beste som finnes av indiepop på den amerikanske vestkysten, med et litt mindre glatt lydbilde som vi er vant til. Bandet hever at de kunne vært mye mer enn de er, for debutalbumet som slippes 26. mars fikk navnet 'They Could've Been Bigger Than Hiawata!' Vi liker hiawata! akkurat som de er: leverandører av ærlig popmusikk som postmannen kan plystre til. Og det er jo minst like viktig i et land hvor postmannen må grave seg en vei gjennom en meter snø...'

Platebutikken Tiger: 'Når band som Hiawata dukker opp kjenner man at livet er godt å leve! Her snakker vi godlynt, vårlig og hyperfengende indiepop i god britisk tradisjon fra Television Personalities og The Brakes - eller for den slags skyld Ted Leo, dersom vi skal våge oss på en transatlantisk musikkreferanse. Apropos geografi: Hiawata er norske! -En ekstra dimensjon. Sjekk det ut!'

Natt&Dag: Deres kommende plate 'They Could Have Been Bigger Than hiawata!' må da være et hint til salige Television Personalities, og musikalsk er oslogutta like slentrende melodiøse som tv-personlighetene. Solid livrykte fra diverse klubbopptredner i hovedstaden.'

Groove Sverige: Från Oslo kommer äntligen härligt upp- knäppt och avslappnad sommarindiepop i form av fem skäggiga gutter med melodisinne och drömska sinnen. Tankarna går till klassisk svensk 90-talsband som Eggstone och Brainpool, men bandet influeras mer avLemonheads och Yo La Tengo.

Furore i Harare: ’Det er deilig å høre et norsk band som ikke forsøker å gjøre seg til noe annet enn de er. Falske finesser, fiksfakseri og overdådige virkemidler ligger heldigvis langt unna bandets natur. Hiawata! viser på mange måter modenhet, der de fremstår som seg selv like mye på plate som live. I all enkelthet. Og nettopp dette gjør "They Could Have Been Bigger Than Hiawata!" til en klar sommerfavoritt.’

Plan B: ‘Det er stas å høre et hovedstadsband som ikke har røttene sine på Last Train eller er arrogante innflyttere fra Kristiansund. Musikken har klare og tydelige referanser til band som Stone Roses, Libertines og Lemonheads, men det som først og fremst fenger er den upretensiøse gløden til bandet utover hele skiva.’

by:Larm '08: Hiawata! slapp sitt første minialbum "they could've been bigger than hiawata!" i Norge våren 2007. Siden den gang har skiva blitt sluppet i hele Skandinavia, Spania, Portugal, Frankrike og BeNeLux-landene. Den utgivelsen inneholdt en fin liten bunke indiehits og anthems som har gitt indiekids over hele kloden tårer i øynene. De fikk nok en hel del ekstra fans da de som foreløpig karrierehøydepunkt spilte på Øyafestivalen sist sommer. Hiawata! blir ofte sammenlignet med band som Lemonheads, Belle & Sebastian, Television Personalities og andre helter i samme landskap.

Hello Faithful followers!!  Sorry for the disappearing act. Maggie cracked her head open during a basement show, so we’ve been out(no pun intended) for awhile. She is almost better so when that happens we’ll be back in the recording studio. In the meantime, we did manage to convince our buddies at myspace.com/onryeproductions to let us do the video game SFX that are on their newest episode.
If you are interested in having a song or songs of yours featured in future episodes please send mp3s to onryecontact@gmail.com
