UngdomSkulen (pronounced ‘ONGDOMSKU:LN) (Frode Flatland, Kristian Stockhaus, Øyvind Solheim) is a Norwegian rock band hailing from Bergen. Their sound is founded on bass, drums and guitar.
The guys met in `98 when they all went to school together. In 2003 they decided to rock together on a regular and serious basis, and so they did.
Ungdomskulen has since they started released six 7`singles, two albums (Cry Baby; 07, Bisexual; 09) and done 250 shows in 17 countries. Ungdomskulen has had a song on FIFA 09 by EA games and the video for the song Modern Drummer (Cry Baby) was selected as the 5th best indie video in 08 by MTV2.
September the 7th in 2008 UngdomSkulen had a big set back. Their fish house studio burned down to the ground. Apparently there was an italian guy, who forgot a pizza in the oven, that caused the fire. UngdomSkulen has now built a new studio with a more carribean approach, but still keeping some of the vibe from their old 1500 century fish house studio.
If you wonder what UngdomSkulen means:
ungdom - youth
skulen - school
In norway UngdomSkulen is where you spend your days the turbulent teenage years between 13 - 16.
