New Violators formed in Trondheim, Norway in 2006, and quickly became THE name to drop in Norway and beyond following an already legendary first show at Oslo’s Mono Club. Armed with a sound situated somewhere between ‘Born to Run’, ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ and Bowie’s ‘Let’s Dance’, it came as no great surprise that the band went on to attract the attention of various tastemakers including Pitchforkmedia’s Brandon Stosuy, who anointed them his favourite Norwegian find at the summer’s festivals.
