About The Violent Years

The Violent Years trailer; a FUA Film production 2005 - 2009:

Mercury in the fish, Verdenzromme Mandal, March 23rd, by Linda Rogn

Loving Man, live from db's Studio, Utrecht

Loving Man from Gerben Schmidt on Vimeo.

The Violent Years dwell in deepest southern Norway amidst the sea, woods and bible belt. Their songs are made of an anxious bitter sweet unrequited Love inspired by a contrasting backdrop of natural beauty and the highest rate of depression in the country.
Their sounds lean towards American Folk and British Pop.
