New Violators "The Move" Directed by Darri Thorsteinsson



New Violators - Burma (live at Rockefeller / ByLarm 2009)


New Violators formed in Trondheim, Norway during 2006.
Originally a 5-piece, the band decided to streamline
and now consists of only three members:
Per Borten, Even Granås and Haakon Marius Pettersen.

They quickly became THE name to drop in Norway
and beyond, following an already legendary first show at Oslo's Mono Club.
It came as no great surprise that the band went on
to attract the attention of various tastemakers
including Pitchforkmedia's Brandon Stosuy,
who anointed them his favourite Norwegian find
at the summer's festivals in 2007.

What followed was a whirlwind of activity,
including various high-profile festival appearances
and a highly successful first trip to the US in early 2007.
While there, they played three sell-out shows in New York
(with unprecedented media interest for an as yet unsigned band)
and made no fewer than four appearances at SXSW
prompting the NME to name them as one of the 10 best new bands at the festival.

The band went on to embark on a Norwegian and German tour in 2008
while working on their long-awaited first studio album.
Further critical acclaim followed when New Violators performed
during CMJ in New York last October:
"I will resort to begging: somebody, please, put out this band's record,"
Pitchforkmedia pleaded.

Looks like the publication's wish is about to become a reality
- the band's FIRST ALBUM is due to get a release February 23, 2009.
It will be released and distributed under
license to Playground Music in Norway.

2009 will see the band touring Norway, UK, US and Germany
in support of the new album.

The songs from the album will also be available digitally
through selected MP3-shops and will be distributed in other countries in due course.
