THIS IS UNGDOMSKULEN
Ungdomskulen (Frode Flatland, Kristian Stockhaus, Øyvind Solheim) is a Norwegian rock band. Their sound is founded on bass, drums and guitar. Taken individually, the drum beats seem inspired by the city, the bass is syncopated and sonic, and the jazz-like guitar sounds as if it’s possessed by rock demons. And finally, there’s a light but authoritative male vocal on top. Bergen is this young trio’s hangout. These guys love life.
In 2000 three young gentlemen took the first steps into what we now know as ungdomskulen. Cause in addition to their affection for life, they all love music. They've been playing together in various constellations since they all went to school together in 99. In 2004 they decided to rock together on a regular and serious basis, and so they did. At first they called themselves Standing Ovation, and then they decided to change their name to Goddamnit, but finally settled with Ungdomskulen. A lot of confusion did occur, but after a while things settled and today these guys are living the life and loving the lot. Now check ‘em out folks!

It’s perfect pop packaged for the dance floor, or in Lee’s words, “a ‘60s vibe with a fat synth and lots of harmonies”, and best witnessed at one of their joyfully intense live shows. Their sound is a concoction painlessly birthed from their various disparate influences, which range from The Who, The Flaming Lips, Timbaland, Jean Michel Jarre, Mozart, and the day Lee bunked off a trip to Windsor Safari Park to hang outside the house of, and eventually meet, Jimmy Page
