This 7” was a recent discovery (on Youtube of all places), and it’s as cold as the night is long.\u00a0 This one-off single from Norway was released in 1982 and bears a strong resemblance to the usual suspects, including\u00a0heavy influence by Joy Division and early Cure, as well as sharing similar sonic territory with\u00a0bands like the Dutch\u00a0Neon<\/a>, The Opposition’s\u00a0amazing first record<\/a>, and the U 137<\/a> single I just posted a few days ago.<\/p>\n

The A-side is a recent obsession of mine with heavy drums and haunting melodies, but the two tracks on the flip are equally commanding, dark and intense listens.\u00a0 The band have three more other songs spread across two different cassette comps.\u00a0but I haven’t heard them.<\/p>\n

As always, little to be found about the band.\u00a0 It appears they were from Skien, a large shipping town in the Southeast of Norway. A four piece by defintion, there were two additional musicians on this single, one playing string synths and the other credited with additional drum work.\u00a0 Their label, Uncle Remus Records, also released a 7” and LP by fellow Norweigans band \u00d8resus, which you can grab here<\/a>\u00a0if you want some excellent anthemic punk a la Generation X or the\u00a0KBD comps.\u00a0 But I know you guys, you like it cold and dark…<\/p>\n
