Ungdomskulen New Single & Tour Dates

• 27th Jul 2009

“Ungdomskulen are the band The Young Knives wished they were in. I can't tell you how much I like the sounds that this band makes.“ Henry Dartnall, Young Knives

“This terrific trio from Bergen, Norway favour trebly, jazz-toned guitar skronk, syncopated bass and walloping, post-hardcore drums, but separate out each sound, then sharpen and polish them until the finished combination threatens to put your eye out.” Time Out

“Bloody brilliant.” Rocksound
#
“As reckless, relentless and original as Sonic Youth” NME

“A thrilling, precision-tooled blend of math-rock, prog-jazz, art punk and post hardcore designed to blast fans of Battles, Fugazi, At The Drive In and Dungen into seventh heaven.” Uncut

“Their sprawling, strangely funk-damaged rock weaves divergent musical strands into an epic whole…A far less daunting proposition than it¹s ambitious scope might suggest” Kerrang!

Norwegian trio Ungdomskulen are delighted announce a full UK tour in September to coincide with the release of new single Idunno.
Idunno is the first track to be taken from the band’s second album, Bisexual. Centred around Kristian Stockhaus’ blistering guitar riff, Idunno is one part, At The Drive-In experimental chaos and one part cow bell infused groove, provided by Øyvind’s Solheim’s dynamite drumming.
