Hello!
We are heading towards trøndelag later this month to celebrate our good friends in Dominic's recent release of their second full-lenght. Their new record is entitled NORD and sounds amazing. Please take your time to check it out and come out to the shows.
The dates are: FRIDAY-18. SEPTEMBER-BLÆST -TRONDHEIM
                      SATURDAY-19. SEPTEMBER-LAGRE -NAMSOS

Natt til første mai braker det løs med en danseglad fest langt inn i arbeiderbevegelsens kampdag…Hele 3 band skal stå på scenen og vi lover en fullspekket aften.
Vi skal spille et sett med nytt og gammelt materiale og lover også noen gjesteopptredener.
Med oss denne kvelden har vi:

Special Guests: GIANT BOAR(S)

Giant boar kommer fra Sverige og spiller alternativ indie rock. Noen
kjenner kanskje disse guttene fra det fantastiske Seven Feet Four. De
har byttet et par medlemmer men holdt på det som funket best i
lydbildet og dratt det mer i retning Sonic Youth og Built to spill.
Noe som setter Isak Ferna sin meget karakteristiske stemme mer i
sentrum. Gå for all del ikke glipp av denne nyvinnningen som tar sin
første tur til Norge med ny besetning.

Support: ARMS ON FIRE(N)

splitter nye Follobandet Arms on Fire kan best beskrives som
progressiv ADHD popmusikk, med røtter i post hardcore som No Knife og
tidlig åttitalls Police og Duran Duran.




Bill. kr. 150,- + bill.avg. 18 år leg.
Forsalg på Posten, 7-11 o.l.
NB! Tidlig konsertstart.

Håper du kan komme!

The great english webzine SUBBA-CULTCHA hated everything about us but the music. Here is the review: 4.5/5

RiR CONQUER THE FINE THREAD AND ROCK THE HIGH WIRE
Pleasant surprises come few and far between in this game. I was starting to think that music writers can develop a kind of precognitive ability - beyond the usual intuitive understanding gained from cover art, press release and band photo - sense of a CDs content just from holding it. Thankfully, I have been proved wrong. Despite the pigeon journalese press release, truly horrific cover art, label title and Norwegian rock lineage, Rumble In Rhodos are not a shit death/sludge metal band. Neither are they the no-wave influenced post-punk band that press release spoke of. Mercifully, they’re not even a bunch of media posturing emo wannabes. No, they rock.

Intentions is an album layered with tech-rock post-hardcore of the ilk of At The Drive-In and even a little Muse in places forming the backdrop for very Blood Brothers-esque screamo, art-punk vocals. The whole package is then burnished to a frictionless sheen, baby-proofing those sharp corners of their influences, making an accessible rock record for the masses. If this were on a major label, with better cover art, and four more hook-laden tunes to complement the existing eight tracks, it would go gold. It would perform that tightrope walk and go gold while still retaining underground credibility.

It’s a very good record: I‘m just uploading it to my iPod now. - J. CAPELING

Our album INTENTIONS was released in Germany through SOULFOOD/BLACK BALLOON in November 2008. Please pick up a copy! Here are some great web reviews with very good scores. Please take your time to copy these links into your browser(only in German)
