We've been following Joe (WOXY DJ and writer at Each Note Secure / The Futurist ) and his exploits over in Oslo, Norway at the by:Larm 2010 festival.

THE MEGAPHONIC THRIFT Remember this band name. In fact, write it down now. The next step up the ladder from A PLACE TO BURY STRANGERS, mixing MBV with SONIC YOUTH, but basically a cat caught in a ceiling fan comes close to describing the shear furious and glorious noise that makes up The Megaphonic Thrift from Bergen, Norway. We caught them last night at a jam-packed Rockefeller here in Oslo and after suffering through this band that pretended to be country, these kids came out and [...]

Ragnarock Festival: un po' di Scandinavia anche per noi Segnalazione tardiva, lo so, ma in radio ne stiamo parlando da due mesi, quindi dovreste già saperlo.
