“If you combine the energy of punk and the simple, naïve structure of pop melodies, with a carpet of uncontrolled noise, the result is perfect musical harmony. Innocence and hedonism united!” With this philosophy as their starting point, brothers John and Sigbjørn Håland decided to create The Shock!
Their first song, “F**k Art, Let´s Kill”, gained them the title Ukas Urørt (Up-and-Coming), on NRK in the fall of 2006, and it’s been played on the station regularly ever since. Their next recording was a cold, dark version of Elektrofant’s “Cocaine”. This time they were placed on the “Summer hotlist”; a list of the ten best songs on the Urørt show. The Shock! was also in the studio this summer working on their debut EP, which is due to be released in the beginning of 2008. They decided to record.
They decided to record it themselves, in order to have a more relaxed recording situation; without time constraints and with complete creative control. Little by little, Erik Salvesen, Rune Eliassen and David Strøm have become the permanent core of the band. The Shock! do all they can to make their concerts quite an experience; loud music accompanied by video art, allowing people to thoroughly experience the music.
