Ungdomskulen haben mit ihrem Debüt den Prog-Rock auf ein neues Level gehievt. Nun steht das zweite Album des Trios aus Bergen in den Startlöchern. Zugegeben, Ungdomskulen ist ein ganz schön umständlicher Bandname, um damit bei Freunden hausieren zu gehen. Doch das trashige Video zu "Modern Drummer" war 2007 Grund genug, den Namen des norwegischen Trios buchstabieren zu lernen. Anfang März veröffentlichen Ungdomskulen den Nachfolger zu ihrem Debüt "Cry Baby". Der siebenminütige Vorbote auf "Bisexual" lässt vermuten, dass Ungdomskulen ihre Fans nicht enttäuschen werden. "Idunno" vereint Catchyness [...]
So I take a seven day break from the internet, next thing I know, SSDT is on top of the "Hottest Blogs" list on Hype Machine. I guess you people like me better when I'm not talking. RUDE! Anyway, as you already know the Blogosphere has been deviod of new music the past few weeks due to the "winter holiday" season (SSDT does not discriminate), so to past the time I've spent the past week reading from these things called "books". To get ready for the movie's release in March, I reread The Watchmen [...]
I don't care about soccer, nor do I care about video games. But when I heard that Lykke Li will be featured on the upcoming soundtrack to the FIFA 09 game, I became curious to see the rest. Check out the full track list and some mp3s after the jump! Caesar Palace - "1ne" (Italy) Chromeo - "Bonafied Lovin' (Yuksek Remix)" (Canada) CSS - "Jager Yoga" (Brazil) Curumin - "Magrela" (Brazil) Cut Copy - "Lights And Music" (Australia) Damian "Jr. Gong" [...]
I WAS going to review Ungdomskulen 's Cry Baby but when I was sent the album, it was sent in the wonderful mp4 format. I'm not ready to move to ITunes yet and I just stick with Windows Media Player so to say the least...when you have to switch programs just for one album it usually doesn't get done. Owell, I won't be reviewing it (I have too many to do anyhow) but the track Modern Drummer is a sick one. This band out of Norway which Ungdomskulen loosely translates to junior highschool they have a [...]
(photos from the still-in-progress installation Being Here Is Better Than Wishing We'd Stayed by The Miss Rockaway Armada at Mass MoCA ) It's interesting building things with materials that spiders go running out of when you pick them up. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ MP3: One thing that can be a pain about making posts is all the different things I have to complete (title, photos, content, mp3). Not just a [...]
Norwegian uber-rockers Ungdomskulen has just released a video for their upcoming single, Modern Drummer. Best video ever? You be the judge. I think this thing friggin' rocks and borders on genius. mp3: Ungdomskulen - Modern Drummer --> website --> buy
I've held off doing this post until I could properly pronounce the name of this fearsome three piece from Bergen, Norway. Alas, the arrangements of the consenants are beyond my limited anglo saxon tongue, but that obviously doesn't stop Ungdomskulen from riffing hard, in a big way. Check out the video for 'Modern Drummer' for example. 'Ordinary Son' [...]
This year we've seen Huey Lewis jump aboard Pineapple Express , help Jimmy celebrate fucking Ben , and get his tunes covered by the likes of Apostle Of Hustle and Oh No! Oh My! for the Are You Still With Me?! comp. Now we have even more News! Menomena and BTW Throw Me The Statue -- along with Ola Podrida and, well, the Mooney Suzuki -- were added to the compilation's expanding lineup. Menomena take on "Back In Time" from the Back To The Future soundtrack, TMTS "If [...]

"This next song is about a very popular sport in Norway that we hope to get in the Olympics. We hear it's popular in New York too. It's called 'Gloryhole'" -- Kristian Stockhaus, singer/guitarist, Ungdomskulen. On Friday, a friend was...
Ungdomskulen - Witches Mate in the Underground This is technically a rerun, but now I have an actual copy of the song, plus hey, who remembers last January anyway? I know I don't: Like most of Ungdomskulen's songs, "Witches Mate..." is a tightly controlled, guitar-scrawled track, and as with the amazing "Ordinary Son", the band stretches it out well past the six minute mark. Ungdomskulen do an exceptional job of taking elements that, extracontextually, would be considered harsh and abrasive, and putting them (these sandpapery noises) into songs that are bustling with [...]
Diese ungdomskulen sind gut. Richtig, richtig gut. So gut, dass ich sogar meinem Abscheu vor Progrock aus dem Fjordland ablege. Heute Abend ist mir halt mal nach wildem Rumgeknüppel. So. Jetzt aber schnell das hier hören, bitte! MP3: Ungdomskulen / Modern drummer Tags: Ungdomskulen , mp3 gratis download , kostenlos musik anhören
The CMJ music marathon starts on October 16, and if you're interested in new, interesting music from my country, you have several chances to see something great from Norway on this festival. Here is a playlist of music by the Norwegian bands/artists that are playing on this years CMJ: IDA MARIA ( http://www.myspace.com/idamari a ) Ida Maria - Oh my God! Ida Maria - Louie [...]
Ungdomskulen. I can't pronounce it, I can barely describe it, but damn, if it doesn't sound amazing. On "Modern Drummer," this Norwegian trio covers jazz, dance punk, metal, scuzz, and fuzz, and all of this occurs during five and a half, wild minutes. Most impressive, is the fact that Ungdomskulen are able to avoid the most common pitfall for everything-but-the bands, namely, wankery. One would think that the words jazz and metal in the same sentence would all but guarantee a fair amount of wankery. Yet, thanks to their god given ability (and their god given ADD), they never get [...]
Foto: Stig Nygaard Photoshopskilzz: indiepig e Vi på emodreng & indiepige har især gennem det sidste halve år fokuseret på skandinavien, og gjort vores for, at åbne læsernes øjne for ny og spændene musik. Vi har på bedste vis formået, at holde fingeren på pulsen og samarbejdet med bands, pladeselskaber og civile musikelskere i vores fælles interesse for musik. Roskilde Festival er en fest, hvor man høster årets frugt og såer nye frø. Jeg kan godt lide, at festivalens bookere har brugt meget tid på MySpace og mp3-blogs, og på den måde sat [...]
Ungdomskulen is a lo-fi, power pop trio from Norway. Their name, which looks and sounds like the name of a character from Lord of the Rings, roughly translates to "junior high school" in English. Using tons of reverb, Ungdomskulen creates seven minute musical expeditions that defy the limitations of only having three band members. Throughout most of the album, they are in full stoner rock mode, intertwining bass rhythms, guitar riffs, drum loops and the occasional cowbell for three or four minutes straight without any vocals. The pop part comes into play whenever lead singer Kristian Stockhaus sings melodies [...]
