   About SIGH & EXPLODE
"Based in Oslo, Norway, Sigh & Explode is one of the most exciting acts to come out of Scandinavia in a long, long time. Only one year in the works, they have already recieved more attention than a dozen of your run-of-the-mills rock ’n roll bands combined, having won over fans, press and (soon to be jobless) recordindustrypeople along the way.

Combining hardcore frenzy, subtle songstructures, melodic hints and technical wizardry with geniune emotion, they are destined to leave a longlasting impression on those willing to indulge.

Influences range from Norwegian bands like Rumble In Rhodos and JR Ewing to american bands like Hot Snakes, At The Drive-In and The Bronx, without leaning too heavily on these bands musically, always introducing new ideas to their burgeoning sound.

Their debut EP, “¡O Bailan Todos o No Baila Nadie!” was initially recorded as a demo, but eventually the local underground label Mas-Kina Recordings decided it would be unfair to leave it at that. It was released digitally in October 2007, and recieved airplay on both national and local radio, as well as becoming a sought-after item for bloodthirsty hardcore and punk fans across Scandinavia.

Sigh & Explode’s thunderous liveshows have been an eyeopener for young indiegirls and seasoned male rockers alike. Playing sold out shows with bands like The Blood Brothers and Misfits as well as working the underground circuit in their hometown Oslo, Sigh & Explode have grown to be a liveband with a kamikaze-ish attitude usually lacking in bands this young.

Their uncompromising attitude was awarded in late 2007 when they won the prestigious Zoom-competition, arranged by among others the national radiochannel NRK P3. The band was rewarded with a full-scale tour of Norway, which has brought them to best clubs Norway has to offer for a whole month in early 2008. Several shows at last years By:Larm resulted in an invitation to UK..s Great Escape Festival, and the band has also performed at large festivals like Øya, Hove and Storaas in Norway.

Only time will tell what Sigh & Explode have ahead of them, but we all know this band won’t stop until their hearts do. Be prepared." -E.M.

Media (mostly norwegian):
"...helt streit heavy metal, men ikke noe mer enn det." - www.universitas.no

"It's hard to imagine other scandinavian bands being this creative and talanted at this moment." Jimmie Bengtsson - Corezine.net (9/10)

"Sigh & Explode is destined to lead way for other bands within the genre. They have talked the talk and walked the walk towards their debut album without shortcuts or compromise, creating an album that is vibrant and sets a standard. These Seem Like Tarantulas should become proof of contemporary hardcore stardom." Vegard Anda - NöMusïc (7.4)

" (...) en sjeldent sterk debut i nær sagt hvilken som helst sammenheng. (...) etter at platas drøye tretti minutter er over sitter man igjen med følelsen av å overvære opptakten til et nytt stolt kapittel i norsk hardcores historie." Glenn Olsen - Natt & Dag (5/6)

"An Epic Moment In Spontaneous Combustion er rett og slett av det aller beste som har kommet av screamo fra Norge." Jørgen Hegstad - Lydverket (5/6)

"These Seem Like Tarantulas er utvilsomt et av høydepunktene i en sjanger som ikke har fått altfor mange spaltemeter her hjemme." Torgrim Øyre - Dagbladet (5/6)

"En fascinerende debut som lover godt." Harald Fossberg - Aftenposten (5/6)

"Sjelden har det vært så godt å høre rasende frustrasjon omsatt i ord og toner. Verden er ellers full av band band med umotivert skrik og skrål, men Sigh & Explode gir mening til bråket." Geir Rakvaag - Dagsavisen (5/6)

"S&E tar hele hardcore-begrepet til et helt nytt nivå." Andreas Milde - Furoreiharare.com

"Melodi og aggressivitet som treffer som f***." Toffen Gunnufsen

" (...) denne screamo-gjengen vil sørge for gode tider for hardtslående norsk musikk i årene fremover." Cecilie Asker - Aftenposten

“Et øs av agressivitet og melodi som treffer deg midt der det gjør vondest. Det ser lyst ut for Norsk Hardcore igjen!” – www.oyafestivalen.com

"Det er liten tvil om Oslos mest ambisiøse screamo-bataljon har et imponerende velutviklet låtmateriale, både dynamisk og estetisk." Torgrim Øyre - Dagbladet

" (...) det var fort gjort å utrope dem til det mest lovende bandet i norsk rock for 2008. Nå er 2008 her, og vi kan slå fast at de innfrir lovnadene." Geir Rakvaag - Dagsavisen.

"Etter kriseåret 2007 er hjerterytmen til norsk musikkliv på et fullstendig flatt biiiip. Kanskje screamo-gutta Sigh & Explode kan få det i gang igjen." - Sigrid Hvidsten (Dagbladet)

" (...) serious appetitewhetters for a full album." NME om debut-EP'en

"Minialbumet 'O Bailan Todos O No Baila Nadie!' har surret og gått i CD-spilleren de siste ukene, utrolig deilig med vill hardcore hvor bandet åpenbart har total kontroll." Asbjørn Slettemark

"Barrierene sparkes ned med livet som innsats, og du skjønner egentlig ikke hva som har truffet deg. før det er så altfor fort ferdig. Fem låter som får deg til å gå over lik for å høre mer. Uten tvil en av årets beste EP’er, om ikke den beste og mest overraskende. Fra scene til plate er det mange band som mister seg sjæl, men det er definitivt ikke tilfellet her. Og ingen kan skrike som gutter fra Oslo øst. Fakta faen." - www.furoreiharare.com

"Gutta i Sigh & Explode har nok hørt sin andel av nyere norsk hardcore, og opererer i grenselandet mellom screamo og post-hardcore. Når de presenterer seg for alvor på låten Drown In The Imitation, etter en melankolsk og særdeles stemningsoppbyggende intro, er Rumble In Rhodos den første tanken som faller inn. Men hvor nevnte band er snille gutter, pisker Sigh & Explode på med langt større aggressivitet. I tillegg er det nærliggende, og kanskje ikke spesielt overraskende, å trekke inn JR Ewing, samt Hot Snakes. Men Sigh & Explode er på ingen måte noens lillebrødre. Til det går de altfor respektløst til verks." - www.panorama.no
