Norway has a reputation for Black Metal where band members murder and each each other. Bergen in the north, however, is a meting pot of many styles of music all rubbing shoulders in a scene that’s got killer bands rather than bands that kill.

With one of Northern Europe’s most vibrant music scenes ablaze thanks to the patronage of Whitest Boy Alive, Datarock, Annie and Ralph Myerz, the scene is set for the next ‘Bergen Wave’ led by none other than angular glam rockers Ungdomskulen.

When faced with the age-old question ‘how would you describe your music?’ Ungdomskulen’s Kristian aptly replies, “I think we fit very well into the high-speed-experimental-jazz-prog-scene. It’s vocals, guitar, baritone-guitar and drums chasing a tone-burglar down the street.”
