- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
We are Rumble in Rhodos. We are a band born in Oslo in late 2003. If you
havenÆt heard of us before, youÆve missed our three full-length albums, one
E.P., and more than 200 energetic indie rock shows doused with touches of
no-wave, danceable post-punk, while accented by obtrusive underground. Our
album, INTENTIONS, released May 2008 received outstanding reviews throughout
Scandinavia and Europe. You also missed us play in floorshows in basements,
squats, pubs, and clubs throughout Europe to thousands of kids. You missed
our month long headlining tour across Norway. YouÆve missed five different
home-screened T-shirt designs and our 2003 7ö (with Commodore race cars on
it). You have missed us play more than 30 big festivals, from the indie tents
of 10 fans to the big stages of 10 000. You missed us win the award,
ôFavourite New International Artistö, at The Indies 2006 in Toronto, Canada.
YouÆve missed us winning Fadar magazineÆs Dr. Dog award as ô5 young dudes who
have crazy moustaches, donÆt dress up like assholes and donÆt poseö. You
missed us play with ôThese Arms Are Snakesö, ôThunderbirds Are Nowö, ôWolf
Paradeö, ôThe Robocop Krausö, ôThe Bronxö, ôHealthö, ôDD/MM/YYYYö, ôJR Ewingö
and many other of our favourites. Most importantly, you have yet to meet 6 of
NorwayÆs most virtuoso boys who have developed an aggressive and engaging
sound which provides nourishment for both your muscles and your brain.
Last year we decided to hibernate. Our two fold focus was a third full-length
album and to regenerate our creativity with a new expression. After seven
years together as a band, it was time to include other forces of inspiration
to find their right direction and become communicators of a quality
atmosphere. The new album, entitled Signs of Fervent Devotion, speaks to the
accomplishment of our focus. With producers Erlend Mokkelbost (JR Ewing,
Killl, MontΘe) and Anders Tjore (MontΘe, Turns, Apricot), Rumble in Rhodos
has, without a doubt, created their best album so far. Through our wild and
magical studio sessions, based on trial and error, we have consumed the
winterÆs energy. The producers have pulled a formally exhausted musical
effort to a nurtured new stage; folding each separate trackÆs dynamics into
one another in a wonderful, edgy way.
We have fused a fascination of old fashioned Punk/Funk, Art Rock, 70Æs Prog
Rock, and modern indie rock into an expression which shakes your core and
gently caresses the small of your back. Signs of Fervent Devotion, is mixed
by none other than Brit, Nick Terry (Klaxons, Serena Maneesh, Libertines,
Franz Ferdinand) and Tokoyo-based Alan Brey. They┤ve added to the already
ambitious and pulsating effort, a calm and balance needed to communicate the
albumÆs ingenuity. While crafted in a cheeky and daring way, it shocks as it
delivers. Rarely does such a hungry and greedy rock record from Norway,
resonate so thoroughly. So, look out for this unusual breath of northern air,
as Rumble in Rhodos release our third consecutive album on Tuba Records now!
With a track list packed with hits and our most thoroughly crafted material
to date, we have shone a light to our future sound. Already, on November 29,
2010, we released our first single, ôWhite Dancingö as a T-Shirt and download
code, through the label, Fysisk Format. The song has been a fixture on P3
radio station since the release and made it to DagbladetÆs list of songs of
the year.
Lucky you, however, there is plenty more for us in the future. We plan to
work even harder than ever before, to release records around the world and
appear in each continent. Our band is a surrogate family for our culturally
extended childhood, itÆs our self-help group, and itÆs our soap box. ItÆs a
way to see what were really capable of. We do this, first thing, when we wake
up. We do this after a hard day at work. We do this on weekends. We do this
all the time.?
