"Dear friends.

It all started on February 10th earlier this year, and today, on November 10th, I've officially completed the project.

Elise talks about the new single:
"After the Storm" is the seventh single in the series "This Is Not My Music". This one is a little different.
When I started working in the studio with Ashley a year ago, "After the Storm" didn't exist. We had picked seven songs and were working on them in their barest form, when Ashley said that the only thing that was missing was a slow song. And by slow, he meant super slow. I figured he wanted to give me a challenge, and I decided I was going to take it. It took me a few days to finish the song. When I got back in the studio we recorded a sketch, and the next day we made the complete version. This was actually the very first song we finished. It was pouring outside while we recorded the guitar parts, and some construction builders were working right outside the studio. You can actually hear traces of it in the song, if you listen carefully. 
"After the Storm" is different, but I am still very honored and proud to be able to release a song like this. I hope you will like it as well.
Sincerely, Elise.."

Elise talks about the new single:
I am so pleased to introduce the sixth release of the This Is Not My Music-series, «Home». I wrote this song in my apartment in Brooklyn last year, right before I was about to head back home to Norway. I was feeling excited, sad and nervous at the time. Excited because I was going home to see all my friends and family, sad because I was about to end the greatest journey of my life (so far), nervous because I wondered what kind of expectations people would have. I'd been living in New York for six months, writing and composing new songs, and I sure hoped that people would be interested to hear them. One of the lines in the song goes «What will they think, will they mind, will they even notice». By returning to Norway, I was about to burst the bubble I'd been living in. It was time to bring all of my songs to life, and it felt so good and so nerve wrecking at the same time.

I used my Baby Taylor-guitar when we recorded this song, which is the very first guitar I ever bought. The drums is played by Ole Tollefsen, the bass is played by Simen Ytre-Arne and the rest is done by Ashley Stubbert (the producer) and myself. We also drank a lot of tea during this particular recording. I hope you will enjoy it.

Outlaw Country

DEATHBARREL - Merciless Winds (CCAP144)
Release Friday 7. September



DEATHBARREL - ENGLISH BIO (Scroll down for bio in Norwegian)

Singer and songwriter Ottar B. Stangeland (of the notorious punkrock outfit Haggis) fronts Deathbarrel, a project that was born while Ottar was serving 90 days in prison, having nothing better to do than writing country songs.

Norwegian outlaw country music springs out of the Old Norse berserker genes. It is raw, uncut, masculine. It is the music of men who only have one flask of cologne, used only for weddings and for mother’s birthday, it is the music of men without handbags, men who like to fish and hunt. Deathbarrel is the sound of wrenches and motor oil, of Saturday night beers and truckstops, of longing and loss, of late evenings and aching muscles, of endless roads and shore leave, of the dreams of freedom that all and any working man feels deep in his soul.

Grits and stale sandwiches, phone calls that were never returned, funerals you were too far away from, friends found and friends lost, outlaw country is the music of the harsh reality of life, it is the sound of plain saying, of the ugly sides of life that cannot be ignored. It is a self-confident snarl at conventions, at authority, at all and any that defines and confines life to what mainstream society wants it to be. It is rebel music.

Deathbarrel is The Truth. Play it loud.

“Ottar’s voice is deep as a coal mine and his songs echo like a silver dagger thrown at a speeding train. Amazing stuff.” -Rennie Sparks (Handsome Family)
“I could easily see Ottar in a cowboy bar, making the biggest 10 gallon hat wearing son of a bitch, tear for his mama” -Tim Morse (Anal Cunt)
“My dad likes this!” Wattie Buchan (The Exploited)

DEATHBARREL - NORSK BIOGRAFI

Deathbarrel er country babyen til Ottar B. Stangeland, kjent fra det notoriske punkbandet Haggis. Prosjektet ble til da Ottar sonet 90 dager, akkurat lang nok tid til å skrive ett outlaw country album

Norsk outlaw-country springer ut av våre norrøne berserk-gener. Det er våre forfedre som taler til oss. Den er rå, uslepen, mandig. Det er musikken til menn som bare har én flaske godlukt, til bruk i brylluper og på bursdagen til mamma. Det er musikken til menn som ikke bruker håndveske, men som liker jakt og fiske. Deathbarrels musikk er skiftenøkler og motorolje, øl i sene nattetimer og traileren som står parkert utenfor veikroen. Den er lyden av lengsel og savn, av lange arbeidsdager og av slitne muskler, av endeløse kystveier og av sjømenn på landlov. Deathbarrel bærer med seg frihetsdrømmen som deles av alle som vet hva ærlig arbeid er.

Havregrøt og tørre sandwicher, telefonsvarere som aldri ringte tilbake, begravelser man ikke rakk. Venner som kom og venner som gikk. Outlaw-country er virkelighetsmusikk, rett fra levra. Den er moderne skaldekvad om livets nattsiuder som alltid trenger seg på. Deathbarrel snerrer selvsikkert til alle konvensjoner, til alt og alle som prøver å tvinge frie menn inn i mainstream-Norge. Det er bråkmakermusikk.

Deathbarrel snakker sant. Spill musikken deres så høyt du kan. Og gi faen i hva dama di sier om den.

“Ottar’s voice is deep as a coal mine and his songs echo like a silver dagger thrown at a speeding train. Amazing stuff.” - Rennie Sparks (Handsome Family)
“My dad likes this!” - Wattie Buchan (The Exploited)
“Herlig låtskriving men er ikke vant til det varme lydbildet” -Fenriz (Darthrone)
“E det ein mann med et vell av røverhistorier og faenskap å hente inspirasjon til ei køntriskjeva, så e det Ottar Stangeland” - Bjarte Lund Rolland (Kvelertak)
“Ottar si køntriskjeva e gullfine, Johnny Cash, ta deg eit stev!” - Erlend Hjelvik (Kvelertak)

Ottar B. Stangeland biografi

Man kan ikke uten videre kalle prosjektet sitt "outlaw country" uten å støtte dette med harde fakta. Her er en kort versjon av Deathbarrels´ primus motor Ottar B. Stangeland´s biografi

*1980: Motorhead slipper "Ace Of Spades", Mark David Chapman skyter John Lennon og Ottar B. Stangeland blir født.

*1994:Ottar blir kastet ut av Steinerskolen i Bergen. Skolen legges ned etter at Ottars mor jevner driten med jorden via juridiske krumspring. Ottar flytter til Stavanger og starter punkrockbandet Haggis

*1995:Politiet bryter seg inn i Haggis sitt øvingslokal i håp om å finne både brennende kors, hvite laken og mein kampf oversatt til Stavangersk. Politiet finner ikke annet en tre grep og tekster om øl og sex

*1995-2001: Ottar får rogn i påsen med medfølgende testosteronøkning og sloss med hele byen hver helg

*2001:Trykket manifesterer seg i en fengselsdom på 28 dager

*2002:Som fri mann tar han seg friheter med damene i Brazil og flere folk får på kjeften

*2005:Ottar blir som eneste mann foruten Charles Manson dømt for "Psykisk medvirkning til grov vold" og må sone fem måneder i fengsel. På sitt eget release-party gjør han nattens utkårede gravid

*2010:Med 36 dommer under beltet, nok en unge, x-kone, nye 90 dager i fengsel og en vinter som slår alle rekorder, blir Deathbarrel født.

*2011-2011:Fri mann, både fra fengsel og kone starter innspillingen av debut platen til Deathbarrel. Det går friskt for seg med både brennevin og tilhørende slossing i studio....alt er som det skal være med andre ord

Grønn Te - debutalbum

HEFTIGE TING! («passionately appealing»)

NORWEGIAN (scroll down for english): "Heftige Ting" er på vei til deg. Den temmelig organiske gjengen i Grønn Tê gir nå ut sin første plate med akkurat dette navnet. Tekstene er på Stavangerdialekt og rytmene har sine røtter i reggae og vestnorsk folkemusikk. Her er banjo, akustiske gitarer, hornblåsing og fortellinger om ugler og tåkete myrer, kald brostein og heftige jenter. Værsågod og forsyn deg.

ENGLISH: "Heftige Ting" means something like "passionately appealing". These songs and rhythms are made to have that effect on you. "Grønn Tê" is a bunch of musicians from Stavanger, Norway. Together they made this music, using banjos, acoustic guitars, mighty trumpets and all kinds of assorted gadgets. The words are sung in the local tongue of their area and they tell stories of foggy swamps, owls hunting, cold and wet nights of apparition and the crossing of blue mountains. All this to rhythms based on reggae as played in the coastal regions of western Norway.

The album is available on streaming and download services now, and will be available as CD and VINYL through local stores (Stavanger area) and on Bandcamp this coming week.

Sebastian Waldjer (Norway) vs Real Estate (USA)

Great minds think alike?

A few months ago Sebastian Waldjer released his brilliant new single «We Never Get Away Anymore». This week we stumbled upon a great new track by the US band Real Estate. These two tracks are amazingly similar. We doubt either of these artists have heard about each other before these tracks where released and that it is all a coincidence. It´s a small world after all? (™Disney)
Whats your opinion?

From The Vault: Skanksters (Free download!)

SKANKSTERS´ FIRST PROMO EP (1995) - Free Download!

Digging through the archives we found a copy of Skankster´s very first demo recording from 1995. Some of the tracks were later re-recorded and released on the «Shaven Not Stirred" CD (CCAP012000 - 2000) and "This Man EP" CDEP (CCAP023 - 2003). Other tracks are harder to come by, released on vinyl singles and cd ep´s that are out of print.

A few words about "Boot Boy": The track was written as a reaction to the neo-nazi "Boot Boys" group that was active in Norway at the time. The song is a stand against all hate-based ideologies and -isms. The intro is borrowed from Charlie Chaplins "The Great Dictator». The original version of the "Boot Boy" track with the Charlie Chaplin intro is only available on this promo recording.

Feel free to share and download the tracks. Check out the "Shaven Not Stirred" album and "This Man EP" as well as the more recent "Life Is Here Today" single on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Wimp, etc

FordRekord - new single

FordRekord released their debutalbum «Perler for svin» in January this year. This week they release a brand new single that was not included on the album, «Øyeblikket».



Presentation in Norwegian
Det er omtrent et år siden folk for alvor ble kjent med FordRekord via en ekstatisk, nyforelska energibombe - ”Kyss Meg” fra debutalbumet ”Perler fra Svin”. Vår nye sommersingel er en oppfølger til den stormende forelskelsen. Forholdet har kjølnet betraktelig, vår helt stiller seg på null og velger å være kul. Han er noen erfaringer rikere og mer reflektert.
Øyeblikket er en låt som har i seg tropiske ”dancehall” rytmer, afrikanske gitardetaljer og svett elektronisk clubfeeling. Robyn møter Vampire Weekends første plate, den følelsen. Det smått eksotiske lydbildet står i kontrast til teksten, som er kjølig og litt bitter.
Øyeblikket ble skrevet på forsommeren 2011 og tatt inn i studio etter et par ukers øving. Friskheten og spillegleden med nytt materiale er godt hørbar, og resultatet er en deilig kjølig, bitter, men varmende sommersngel fra Haugesund/Stavangerbandet FordRekord.

Quotes from reviews in Norwegain media, translated to english (Scroll down for reviews in Norwegian)

A wide rock'n'roll canvas mounted on musical hooks including Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, The Doors, 16 Horsepower and Madrugada (...) excellent rock noir"
Tom Skjeklesæther (ABC News)

"The result is often shockingly good songs (...) Right In Front Of You and She Wouldn't Let Me Drown are amongthe best I've heard in years" Egon Holstad (Nordlys)

"brilliantly executed and thus allowed to enjoy. As a good bourbon in the twilight on a threadbare hotel room. "Stein Østbø (VG)

"" Dead Man's Gold "is perfect for two uses: a long drive across the American prairie, or a lonely night in a comfy chair with a bottle of whiskey in your hand. For all other uses, the Brigades debut album is just very, very good. All in all, this record is something you think you may have heard before, but so good that one does not feel that it is not worth hearing again "
Tore Friestad (Studvest)

"This is good. This is really good. Dark rock 'n roll which to slips right into the soul and stays there" Elin M. Dahl (Rockblogg.no)

"Opener" Italian Curse” would fit right in with the opening credits in a violent americana flick by Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez (...)" Frank Johnsen (Bergens Tidende)

"With lyrics abut life on the dark side, this is a very listenable album (...) The Brigade manage to stand out from the crowd. Much thanks to (vocalist) Fiskå, but also his team of high quality muscicians "Sven Erik Loberg (Hamar Arbeiderblad)

"Dark and powerful cowboy-rock. This is restless music for riding  into the sunset. "Take care of your mother, son ..." "Per Kristian Hansen (Østlendingen)

"Sometimes it smells Nick Cave, often Madrugada, sometimes more country or folk. The single "We all fall down" is an example of the bands potentional, with its catchy melody and creepy mood. "Robert Hoftun Gjestad (Aftenposten)

Reviews (in Norwegian only).

Vi har samlet utdrag av anmeldelsene som har kommet på The Brigade albumet i norsk presse så langt:
Mørkt og bra
“(…) dette er mørk rock dynket i bootleg-sprit, sentrert rundt herlige temaer som død, levd liv, outsidere, drap, knuste pikehjerter og brune murerflasker. Resultatet er tidvis sjokkerende bra (…) Det er også noe veldig filmatisk, sørstatsaktig over denne mektige og southern gothic-dynkede musikken, og den hadde glatt glidd inn i den glitrende Jim White-dokumentaren «Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus». Låtene Right In Front Of You og She Wouldn’t Let Me Down er noe av det beste jeg har hørt i år.”
Egon Holstad, Nordlys

(...)Dette er bra. Dette er virkelig bra. Mørk rock`n roll som sklir rett inn i sjela og fester seg. Melankolsk og skittent. Perfekt musikk på kalde høstkvelder hvor brennende stearinlys gir musikken riktig stemning (...)The Brigade har skapt sitt eget uttrykk og har et flott særpreg. Dette er en solid debut av mannfolk som har vært i gamet lenge. 10 sterke låter på et velprodusert album.  Jeg digger musikken. Jeg digger skiva. Det er bare en ting å si; Løp og kjøp – dette er musikk for høstkalde sjeler!
Elin Mariel Dahl – Rockblogg.no

Utmerket Rock Noir
Googler du «Dead Man’s Gold» havner du på en westernfilm fra 1948. Sannsynligvis svart/hvit og befolket av et knippe bad guys og muligens bare en good guy, som likevel ordner opp. Godt over 60 år senere rir seks karer fra Westen (den norske) inn på lerretet. Et widescreen rock’n’roll-lerret som er spent opp på musikalske knagger som Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds, The Doors, 16 Horsepower og Madrugada. (...) I front for The Brigade er sangeren Morten Fiskå, med en stemme så malmfylt at han går både Cave og Sivert Høyem i næringa.

Med på å løfte «Dead Man’s Gold» til en utmerket lytteopplevelse er produksjonen til Kaizers-sanger Janove Ottesen og miksingen til Yngve Sæthre. Sammen sørger de for besnærende dynamikk i lydbildet og lekre musikalske detaljer som kommer seilende på et massivt og autoritært komp. Spilt av folk som kan sine saker og forstår betydningen av kontrastskaping. Titlene på sangene her gir en god pekepinn på de alt annet enn lystelige temaene som behandles; «Italian Curse», «We All Fall Down» (se video nederst i artikkelen), «Funeral Moon», «Don’t Be Afraid To Touch The Ground» og «She Wouldn’t Let Me Drown» (...) Klarer ikke å la være å tenke på at denne musikken kan være en refleksjon av at Stavanger mistenkelig ofte havner i nyhetene takket være brutale kriminalsaker? Der folk blir sperret inne, torturert og til og med tatt av dage. Er oljen død manns gull?
Tom Skjeklesæther - ABC Startsiden

Rock noir fra Stavanger. ”Stonefish Brigade er nå bare The Brigade, har hyret inn sjefs-Kaizer Janove Ottesen som produsent, tatt platetittelen fra en obskur westernfilm fra 1948 og borer seg dypt ned i et dystermørkt rocklandskap vi kjenner godt her hjemme fra før. For amerikansk ørkenestetikk i et røft tekstunivers mellom døden og kjærligheten er vi av en eller annen grunn flinke på i Norge: Madrugada (...), Emmerhoff & The Melancholy Babies og ikke minst bysbarna i Helldorado (...) «Dead Man's Gold» er tidvis feiende flott utført og dermed lov å nyte. Som en god bourbon i halvmørket på et slitent hotellrom.”
Stein Østbø, VG

Nesten Gull
“På «Dead man’s gold» tar de lytteren med på en syndig ferd gjennom det amerikanske kontinentet.Her møter de menneskeskjebner som veldig mange er
hekta på religion og alkohol. De mikser country, rock, folk og sørstatsrock til en mørk og skitten legering som bringer dem nært både Nick Cave, Mark Lanegan og The Doors. Det later fett og tøft (…)”
Rune Slyngstad, Fædrelandsvennen

Gotisk Rock
“Kjørerturer langs prærien på Jæren har åpenbart inspirert mange band. Og
når medlemmene i ferske The Brigade hovedsakelig stammer fra Helldorado og The Stonefish Brigade, skjønner vi at musikken som serveres er av det filmatiske slaget. Åpneren «Italian Curse» kunne ha vært anslaget i en voldelig americana fra Quentin Tarantino eller Robert Rodriguez – de vindskjeve tex-mex-riffene, ørkenblåset, voldsmelankolien. Og koblet mot låter og en vokal som gir veldige linker til Madrugada, og til en viss grad Nick Cave, får vi en slags sørgotisk stemming (…)”
Frank Johnsen, Bergensavisen

”(...) Enkelte ganger dufter det Nick Cave, ofte Madrugada, av og til mer country eller folk. Singlen «We all fall down» er et eksempel på at bandet kan ha noe å fare med, med sin fengende melodi og gufne stemning”
Robert H. Gjestad - Aftenposten

“Med tekster som handler om «life on the dark side», er dette blitt ei meget hørbar plate (...) The Brigade klarer likevel å skille seg ut i mengden. Det mye takket være Fiskå, men også at han har med seg et musikerlag av høy kvalitet”
Sven Erik Løberg - Hamar Arbeiderblad

“Mørk og mektig cowboy-rock. Dette er rastløs musikk du kan ri inn i solnedgangen til. «Take care of your mother, son…»”
Per Kristian Hansen - Østlendingen

Etter å ha i embets medfør høyrt gjennom ein del saker og ting eg som privatperson nok hadde halde meg langt unna, er det som å komme heim når eg køyrar i gong plata til The Brigade. Ikkje det at dette er verken banebrytande eller spesielt originalt. Det er berre så fantastisk bra. Bandet kjem frå stavangerregionen og har erfaring frå band der. Og har fått JanOve Ottesen frå Kaizers til å produsere plata. Ved første gjennomhøyring ville det vore enkelt å gi dei merkelappen det nye Madrugada. Men dette bandet er så mykje meir. Og på mange måtar betre. Det er mørkare og tyngre. Med musikalske inspirasjonskjelder som mellom anna Nick Cave og The Doors er premissane for lydbiletet lagt. Amerikanarane Cormac McCarthy og James Lee Bruke er mellom dei som har inspirert dei etter forholda dystre tekstane. (...) Som eg skreiv innleiingsvis. Fantastisk bra! Firdaposten

PHAT - PHAT EP

PHAT - PHAT EP
hardcore psychotic stonerrock punk metal
The hardcore stonerrock band known as PHAT was first conceived in 2006 when guitar strangler Benjamin Waldejer hooked up with his longtime friend and partner in crime, drummer Marius Grøtte. They started off jamming in the attic of a nearby mental institution, where Marius was employed at the time. There they spent their evenings combining their musical preferences into what has come to be known as THE PHATNESS. They both have the same perception of what music to play and always focus on heavy guitar riffs over pounding drum grooves.
For the next two years the band played as an instrumental duo, playing gigs in and around Stavanger. During this two year period they also recorded their live instrumental album «Live@Orre» which was previously available at their MySpace page.
In the early spring of 2008 they asked their old friend and notorious hardcore poet, Øyvind Munthe, if he would consider doing some vocals with the duo. It was a perfect match and ever since the frantic screams, microphone abuse and aggressive flows have complemented the massive sound of PHAT.
Since then they've played gigs wherever and whenever, ranging from the hardest rock venues to private parties and openair events. No matter where they play they always deliver the distinct sound that is ferocious and Phat.
The band started the recordings of their debut EP the summer of 2009
