from Bergen, Norway, the band draws inspiration from 60's garage rock, 80's garage

BTB 2 UBERTOS WE DO EAT LIONS LP 11.2014
Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl. Ubertos (Superslut) plays insistent, garage
rock with devilish style and has been characterized as "an uncompromisingly beautiful
beast that does not go unnoticed, and the front singer as Joan Jett going honky tonkin
in Twin Peaks "! The band is finally here with their first album: "We Do Eat Lions"
on vinyl, a nasty mix of punk rock, new wave and outlaw country, and a hell of a
record! Pay attention to the album sleeve, its a darn good piece of art, made by
the renown norwegian tattoo artist and painter, Tomas Bruvik.

BTB 3 THE WEDNESDAY KNIGHTS MY PROBLEM IS YOU LP 10.2016
'My Problem Is You' is the debut long player from Norway's The Wednesday Knights,
containing 12 songs recorded live in the studio over a weekend. The music is on the
punky side of garage rock, taking inspiration from sixties garage rock, seventies
punk and pub rock, eighties garage revival, Medway garage and rhythm & blues.
The Wednesday Knights play garage rock without aping current trends in garage and
without trying to sound like an exact copy of a 1966 band (you'll never see them
in matching suits). Ten original songs and two covers (by The Modds and The Passions).

Romskip is a band in their early twenties from Bergen, Norway who mix indie rock with
garage and psych vibes, and great lyrics in Norwegian. Their debut EP was recorded and
mixed by the band themselves DIY style. This time around they have been in a proper
studio and the overall sound is more professional, but the guitars sound even rawer
and bigger on EP05. Includes some GROOVY rockers, one HUGE ballad and suprisingly even
a bit of rapping. People are raving about their live shows, and it seems like Romskip
might just be the next big thing in Norway. The 4 song EP is pressed on a 12" vinyl,
