![]() HJELP: Since we're a band with members from different backgrounds, we all have different musical inspirations and preferences. There´s a lot of different personalities within the band and that is maybe what makes Norsk Råkk interesting for a varied audience. Norsk Råkk: Torstein: Norsk Råkk’s musical influences range between punk, ska, rock, reggae, jazz and hardcore. We like older Norwegian punk like The Aller Værste, Raga Rockers and garage music like Ty Segall, Black Lips and Mac DeMarco. Kompiser is about being friend zoned (story of my life :/). As for any punk rocker, there are toooo many to mention.īlomst: I guess most of our songs are about everyday struggles, like love, social media, and a variety of stupid people. ![]() Red City Radio, The Menzingers, Frenzal Rhomb etc etc have had their fair share of playtime too. Of the contemporaries, The Flatliners have influenced our band massively. ![]() The Bouncing Souls, Rancid, Osker as a few of the older ones. Of course, previously mentioned NOFX has had a big impact. I really find inspiration in people who do what makes them tick, without giving half a fuck about what anyone might think, and without pissing on people. The whole punk rock idea of defining things on your own has been very inspiring. What are some of your influences (bands, people, ideas, etc)? Verdisaker EP was also one of the goals we had to achieve as fast as possible, so we recorded and produced everything on our own. From then on we just wrote a lot of songs and tried to get some gigs. HJELP got together to make a band in September 2016. Tomorrow we want to make a song we can dance to at the cheesiest nightclub. Today we feel like making a raw banger that makes us want to bleed out of our irises. The goal is mainly to just write the songs and genres we want to write. Although we're a very diverse band that likes to make funk and ballads as well. HJELP: The raw savagery of the live show is what made us decide to make punk music. ![]() So I have a different kind of background then the other guys in the band. I spent most of my time watching The Band´s The Last Waltz and having a good time. Later in my high school years I started listening to more skatepunk bands like NOFX, Millencolin and Pennywise.Īdrian: I actually didn’t listen to that much to punk/ska music personally before I joined Norsk Råkk. I’ve never really been a big fan of "real" ska bands, but always liked the ska influenced songs that punk and rock bands did. Bands like Ebba Grön, Kjøtt, Jokke & Valentinerne and The Aller Værste! were my first look into the world of punk/new wave. Norsk Råkk: Torstein: In my early teens I picked up a lot of rock and punk related acts through my brother’s record collection. The original plan was to do electronica with band instruments, a few chords, catchy melodies and vocals. Nobody else wanted to give me a shot at it I guess it was partially because I'm a girl :/ but we came together, made magic, and have kicked ass since! We didn't really decide to make punk music, it just happened. ![]() I met the guys who had already been playing together. It wasn't till my early twenties that I started writing songs, but since then it's been a few!īlomst : We started out in 2010. At like 15 I realized "I need to learn how to play this shit" and picked up a guitar. Bands like NOFX and Bouncing Souls blew my fucking mind and since then it's been in my bones. It was a package deal with snowboarding and punk rock. It wasn't until I was like 13-14 when I started snowboarding that punk rock really took proper hold. My buddy Aleks brought home Americana by The Offspring when I was like 10 - we listened the shit out of that record, not really getting all the words. My dad used to play The Clash at home without me growing a mohawk or tattoos quite yet. Pappasaft : I've had small drips of punk music since I was little. How did you get into punk music?
