NORGEZ BANK - Life Of Rian! EP 1980

One more rare classic KBD post for all of you who just sitting there and be proud of your collection. I put it right now in your ears. Any objections? - Norgez Bank was a punk band from Tromsø who published Tromsø's first punk-EP, recorded 21 + 22.October 1980. The band felt that the studio had used an old master tape where you could still hear the show singer Jack Berntsen. Despite this, the plate is relatively good sound quality and production to be a Norwegian punk album from 1980. The album is among the rarer of the Norwegian punk records from the early 1980's, but is in circulation among collectors both at home and abroad. Participants on the first EP is Erik Smith Meyer (vocals), Alf "Alfena" Krog Seth (bass), Niels Hoegh (guitar) & Tor Harald Jensen (drums). The band performed including on Zikk Zakk in 1981 with the Paris of the EP and was used as the frontman of NRK youth rebellion in Tromsø in the 80s with songs like: "Tromso Burn" and "Society's Servants". It is beyond doubt that Norgez Bank lead singer did youth rebellion in Tromsø's eighties known throughout the country and focused on a growing problem, local democracy, total ignorance of disorderly youth. The lyrics to Norgez Bank bordered between anarchy and rebellion, and urged young people to act themselves. This led to many confrontations with the existing environment. Tromsø Sparebank did not want to release a commercial cassette targeting youth because texts Norgez Bank had. The band stood their ground and the bank gave in - to reach young people. The publisher of the band's second album (Energy from Lethargy) preferred not to have anything to do with the band after the release when the band was criticized (in the program Youth Radio Newspaper) record label that wanted to control everything - from manufacturer to distribution. Niels Hoegh and Alf Sigurd Krog Seth was also approached by the Swedish P3 that created a situation report from Tromsø and the youth rebellion and used Norgez Bank music.
