Deathtrack
Deathtrack is a four piece hard rock outfit from Norway, who delivers balls-to-the-wall music with a tongue-in-cheek attitude.

The band released their debut album on their own label in 2009, which sparked interest in Sweden and Germany, as well as overseas.

Deathtrack shamelessly pays homage to the bands from which they draw their inspiration, such as Alabama Thunderpussy, Metallica and Motörhead, among others.

The result is KVINESDALROCK, named for Kvinesdal, the city in the dirty south from which they hail.

The Action Five
With one foot set in scandi rock whilst the other stamps around wherever it may, we are now talking Actionrock! Occasionally, with a base of heavy melancholic minor chords, The Action Five tops their tunes with three chords rock’n roll straight from the assembly lines of Detroit! These boys are combining juvenile delinquency with refined mature vocal harmonies in such ways both heart and soul are lit!

The band was formed in Trondheim, Norway late 2008 by the two guitarists Ola Pepps Harstad and Terry Legal and they were soon joined by Magnus Mortensen on bass and Trommas Øvervik on drums. The Action Five did one gig as a four piece and then decided they would need a lead vocalist to complete the lineup. Singer Endre Forbord had recently returned to Trondheim from London and soon joined the band as the fifth and final member. From the beginning of 2008 the band has been working hard to fuel the audience with a high energy live show not seen often on the Norwegian live scene, and the tight hardworking rhythm and guitar section gives the authoritarian though passionate vocals a solid foundation to stand on.

Hailing from Finland, The Everglades have always set their sights further away and are endlessly working to bring their music to audiences near and far. Living music with their every cell the band’s aim is to be a recording and actively touring band with markets throughout the world.

Mary Me Young
Almost a decade ago, three girls in a country in the far, far north, decided they had no choice but to start chasing their dream. Instruments and equipment were borrowed from friends, and without knowing how to play, they arranged their very first practice. Even though what they produced that rainy afternoon sounded more like noise than music, they knew immediately this was something they were destined to do.

Days and months went by, songs were written and the girls kept playing together. They recorded three songs which they released as a 7" with handmade cases, and now all their hard work and denial of giving up, started to pay off. The beautiful summer of 2005, they were chosen "band of the week" on a show on Norwegian national radio, they played at some of the biggest festivals in Norway, the Oya festival and The Storaas Festival, they were mentioned in Pitchfork Media as one of the most promising bands in Norway, and they won the "Most promising band" award during UT-awards in their hometown, Trondheim, january 2006.

The girls were excited, breathtaken and inspired by all the attention and went back to the studio with their good friend Audun Storset from The Lionheart Brothers. Five new songs were captured on tape, and the winter of 2007 "the Mary EP" was released and was given 5/6 by Dagbladet, one of the leading newspapers in Norway.

And now, finally, the girls´ very first full length album is all done recorded, mixed and mastered, and ready to become the soundtrack of peoples´ lives. Produced by Audun Storset, mixed by Marcus Forsgren (The Lionheart Brothers) and mastered by Björn Engelmann in Cutting Room Stockholm. August 2010, they won a big competition in their homecountry for artists without a recorddeal, that gave them the possibility to play at The Oya Festival again, and also publishment by the greatest recordstore in Norway, Platekompaniet, of their debutalbum “in Pearls and Gold”, which will out January 2011.

The girls are thrilled by the result of the recordings, and cannot wait to start spreading their lyrics and melodies to the corners of the earth.

MARY ME YOUNG is a fairytale soon to be continued.
