Biography

We live in a world where nearly everyone looks to reminisce on earlier times. We see artists pulling inspiration from 90s fashion and 80s beats, mixing things up and creating something that is completely new. Take Norwegian band, Great News, for example. The band classifies their sound as daze-pop and it’s truly the best way to describe what they have going on. Musically, Great News will take you back as their music embodies 80s rock acts like Fleetwood Mac and AC/DC, accompanied by lyrics wrapped in cheerful melodies and jaunty basslines. 2 years have passed since the band released their well received debut album, Wonderfault. They have used the time wisely, touring Austria, Germany, Holland and the UK, and now they are ready to release their sophomore EP "Now and Them" on April 17. On Feb 7, they releaser the first single from this album titled "Greedy Little Thing". And on March 3rd they released the single "Reality Show".
