Beinhard


I should have written about Beinhard a bit earlier, but I had only heard one single track that they have posted on their Myspace page so I thought I should hear a couple of more songs before I posted about them.

Now I have managed to find another downloadable track on their website (which is only in Norwegian, so that took a bit of guesswork!) and my initial opinion has been verified: Beinhard is a band from Trondheim, Norway that encorporates classic 70's power riffing (see Bon Scott era AC/DC) in a raw, party-oriented "boogie rock n' roll" mixture. The fact that they come from Norway is not surprising, given Scandinavia's new age rock n' roll legacy; what is surprising though seems to be their age (late teens, I am hearing) which probably means that when Bon Scott was grawling about "dirty deeds" and girls having "the jack", their parents hadn't even met yet.

Listen to the amazing party starter "Mama" on their Myspace page, or check' em out on their official website (if your Norwegian is good enough, that is).
