Bergen is already home to The Whitest Boy Alive, Röyksopp, Ungdomskulen and Datarock. Casiokids continue in the fine tradition of great acts to come out of the Norwegian city. Having fallen in love with the band's single from a few years ago 'Fot I Hose' I was really eager to hear some more and 'Det Haster!' [...]
Ungdomskulen have unveiled a couple of remixes from their mini-LP, GIMME TEN , which was recently released as a free download via their website . DD&D have tackled 'Number One' and Stockhaus Walking The Butt went to town on 'Walking The Dog'. Give them a listen above and let us know what you think of them!
Thursday night in Dalston and I head down to residential side road to recently reopened Shacklewell Arms; a reputedly once sketchy local boozer-turned into a bustling pub/music venue. It's one of those nights and one of those places where everyone here could (and in most cases, probably are) be in bands. Despite the aching air of cool that surrounds a large swathe of the crowd, it's a friendly atmosphere and the Shacklewell largely feels like the old London pub of yore with the addition of lots of band posters and an impressive and interesting booking policy. I can feel we're [...]
Ungdomskulen play this London show off the back of their GIMME TEN campaign, which sees the band releasing a series of 10 one-minute long tracks, for free, every Monday and Friday until June 3rd. Read more..
Ungdomskulen are set to return next week by releasing the first of ten free one-minute tracks, which they wrote and recorded in just 6 weeks.

Reuse Recycle Remix is a feature where I take remixes that for one reason or another didn't earn their own post or didn't make it on Scene Not Heard. Some of these are super current (Basement Jaxx remix dropped about 2 hours ago) and some are a few months old. Maybe this is a digital collector's bin... Toro Y Moi - Timed Pleasure (Body Language Remix) Yeasayer - O.N.E. (XXXChange Remix) Neon Indian - Deadbeat Summer (Afghan Raiders Remix) Massive Attack - Girl I [...]
So what if they wear sparkly shirts and pastel hot pants? Ungdomskulen like their music loud, fast and heavy. The Norwegian trio cranked the decibels up at Santos last night as part of the OhMyRockness and Oya Festival showcase. Songs ran the gamut from straight up metal to trippy, mesmerizing rock. Their show was light on the vocals and heavy on the shredding. Turns out vocalist/guitarist Kristian Stockhaus could have been born Christian Stockhouse instead. You see, a distant relative by the name of Sven once stepped foot onto a boat bound for America. Alas, [...]
My CMJ begins when I stumble through the doors of Santos to be confronted by three Norwegians in short shorts and glittery tops. They are men. They are the men of Ungdomskulen. I quickly send a text to someone in the room about the glitter shirts. They are, empirically, awesome. But it is the music, not the aesthetics, that is moving the front of the room. Packed against the stage are all the

We're not suggesting Gold Panda is the kind of dude who touches himself, but he clearly has Midas-like powers so you never know. Here he fondles berserk Bergenites Ungdomskulen into an explosive disco frenzy.
Had another show on UtahFM.org, the show is going well, trying to find more time to post here! I have some great Dan Deacon vids to share (hence why I played him back to back on the show) as well as a review of the show from last week. Yes I played Miley Cyrus, the Lauper version is one of my favorite songs ever. Miley does it alright. Check it out sometime if you like the original. Scene Not Heard 05.02.09 Playlist [...]
Like a hairier, manlier, Norwegian version of the world's cutest shredder, Marnie Stern, Norway's Ungdomskulen specialize in the type dexterous guitar work which would seem to mandate either a second shredder, or at the very least, a couple extra digits on each guitar playing hand. Unlike Stern, whose music is first and foremost about shredding, Ungdomskulen augment their proggy guitar acrobatics on "Idunno" with a rhythm and a kick which is almost funk like in nature, and a vocal delivery which is disinterested, in that sweet slacker kind of way. Really, unless you don't like guitar noodling, [...]
Thus, the great musical migration begins. The time of year when the preening musicians shed their downy winter coats and the musical industrialists begin their violent rutting, and both travel to the balmy shores of Austinland to begin a vigorous coupling ritual that has existed since the mid-nineties. The music journalists too-a symbiotic species, not to mention hermaphroditic and incestuous-begin their annual masturbatory phalanx for the musicians. Truly the 8th wonder of the natural kingdom, and I, dear reader, the respected and feared Bartender, intend to observe with watchful eye this unique spectacle. That's right folks, I'll be [...]
Norway's Ungdomskulen have released their new album, Bisexual , digitally in the United States. They recorded Bisexual in a Bergen based studio over the course of two weeks. Ungdomskulen´s sophomore album is the follow-up to their debut record Cry-baby. The album cover was painted by George Underwood, the man who created Gentle Giant's debut LP and Bowie's Hunky Dory as well as numerous classic album covers for T-Rex, Mott the Hoople and Procol Harum. The piece is titled "Lost Expression." audio: I Dunno [...]
Norwegian power-prog trio Ungdomskulen returned this past week with their new album Bisexual , available digitally HERE . The album follows up on their largely unheralded debut record Cry-baby , which Pitchfork described as "all motion, mixing indie-rock lightning with heavy-metal thunder and revealing a belief in rock's spiritual powers." They also confused school children and received wide acclaim for the innovative video for the single "Modern Drummer," posted above. Visit Ungdomskulen on MySpace .
The Norwegian trio Ungdomskulen are back with a new album Bisexual (as well as some crazy Wolverine-like side burns courtesy of lead singer/guitarist Kristian Stockhaus). It comes out today (digitally) it looks to expand on their already epic guitar sound. If you didn't manage to pick up their 2007 release Cry-Baby then you might want to check both out immediately. These guys play music that hearkens back to 70s and 80s stadium rock/metal but with a mid 90s indie rock/nerd rock view of it. Ungdomskulen's first single off Bisexual is "I Dunno" [...]
