THE BRIGADE

This band of brothers known as The Brigade saddled up in 2009. The debutalbum is produced by Janove Ottesen from the great Kaizers Orchestra and mixed by Norwegian Grammy winner Yngve Sætre from Duper Studio. In addition to The Brigades own eminent songwriters we find Martin Hagfors (HGH, Homegrown), Jonathan Hall and Østen Bergøy (Tristania) who have all contributed with lyrics.

The Brigade members have years of experience from different bands from Stavanger-area on the south-western coast of Norway.

They have been touring with other projects in the Europe, USA and Scandinavia.

Riding their musical train across the American continent their lyrics reflect a misanthropic environment where religion and alcohol are the pillars of life. The Brigade lures you in to the darkness and kicks you back into the light.

Some call their music Rock, some Country, Southern Gothic and yet others Americana. Music, lyrics and visuals inspired by Nick Cave, 16 Horsepower, Wowenhand, Mark Lanegan, Murder By Death, The Doors, Band Of Horses, Cormac McCarthy, James Lee Burke, Donna Tart, Down By Law, Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil, Carnivale, Edgar Allan Poe and more...
