This is the myspace-profile of not one band, but a collective of 24 bands, all based in Oslo. The first compilation featuring 15 of these bands wass released in Norway on Monday 31th of March, 2008. Volume 2 will be released on Monday 2nd of November 2009 with 16 bands out of which nine are new ones. All the bands play alternative pop music, and have a friendly attitude. Read this exerpt from the booklet text of volume one and understand more:
YOU KNOW, it wasn’t always like this. A few years ago, you’d consider yourself lucky if you happened to stumble across a local band that wasn’t trying to be part of a Scandinavian Rock-movement that just kept on keeping the city’s music scene in a gridlock. At one point, however, someone was able to loosen this tight screw, and the result is the jaw-dropping compilation of heavenly pop hits you’re looking at right now.
As is so often the case, the blooming pop scene in Oslo is down to a combination of destiny and sheer coincidence, with a group of people slowly beginning to realise they share a set of values and beliefs that has nothing to do with rock stardom, and all to do with DIY and independence. A great number of the people and bands that form the Oslo pop scene are in fact not from Oslo, instead originating from the towns of Moss, Holmestrand, Tønsberg, all scattered within a few hours ride from Oslo, and in some cases, from as far away as Gausdal and Bodø. The element of outsiderness might have had an impact when coming together, but don’t quote me on that.
And that’s it for now. Welcome to a parallel universe where Robert Pollard is always more important than Jack White, and Scandinavian Rock is long gone, never to be re-born. Dig in!
Hi there:) SCHTÖLEN eventually has a new track: "I'm Goin' Crazee (on the Beach)"
Be welcome to visit SCHTÖLEN's myspace and listen to this masterpiece! (or piece of crap ... that's up to you) Soon a remix by Marcus M allso will be avaliable.
