NOICE - Tonårsdrömmar 1979

Noice was a Swedish pop punk/rock group from Gustavsberg, formed in 1977 and dissolved 1982. After playing cover songs and original songs at youth clubs and talent shows the group a rock band won a contest, Rock-79, at the end of April 1979 where the first prize was a single recording. However they recorded an entire album which was called Tonårsdrömmar (Teenage Dreams). The debut album sold no further, but the March 17, 1980 everything changed when Noice performed the song 'En Kväll I Tunnelbanan' (One Night In The Subway) in the TV program Monday Stock Exchange and became famous overnight. The group's heyday occurred while another Swedish group, pop group Gyllene Tider, also enjoyed great popularity. Noice and Golden Earring was often in contrast, when Noice represented metropolitan and tougher music, while Golden Earring accounted for a small town and lighter pop. Express held a popularity vote between the two, the Golden Earring won barely. Noice disbanded in 1982, but reunited for a short time in 1991 and conducted a handful of concerts. 1995 - 1996 Noice went out on a new tour and released the wild, wild world of old and new songs. Keyboardist Freddie Hansson died in late December 2001, although the singer Hasse Carlsson died in autumn 2002 of chronic liver disease hepatitis. So enjoy this power punk album and pay tribute and honor to this wonderful band.
