Pappasaft
After four long years, Rockefeller-featured Pappasaft return to Bergen and Hulen. In the meantime, the gla’core trio have released the well-received full-length Endelig Elendig, the equally well-received EP True Norwegian Gla’core, and played a number of sold-out concerts across the country. This includes two shows at Grünerløkka’s grand venue, Parkteatret, both sold out well in advance.

2026 is Safta’s year: studio sessions are flying by, and new music is being captured as you read this. This will see the light of day during the spring. There will be more concerts west of Sweden, and not least the spectacle that will take place on 15 May at one of Norwegian music’s holiest grails – Rockefeller. Loud, fast and melodic, Pappasaft have played their way into ears and hearts across the length of the rugged, weather-beaten country through hundreds of relentless concerts. Inclusive and energetic shows filled with songs ranging from the intimate and vulnerable to the angry and political.

The music has settled into hearts, minds and ink on the skin of Norwegian rock fans to an ever-growing extent. You are warmly welcome to Hulen on 20 February.

FORK
The ur-punk trio Fork has been described as “Norway’s answer to Fugazi” by NRK’s Ruben Gran and took part in Urørt 2007, but narrowly missed out on the win to Ida Maria.

The band consists of brothers Magnus and Knut-Oscar Nymo (Oslo Ess / Slekta) and Kim Trøbråten – all from Rakkestad. They have played together since the age of 10; at that point it is hard not to become a little tight and a little original, even though you can hear traces of the long tradition of early emo, anarcho-punk and melodic hardcore from England, the USA and not least Sweden.

Since 2004 they have released three albums and toured several times across Europe, and have helped build a strong DIY scene in both inner and outer Østfold.

The album Marka is their first in a full 13 years and is packed with furious melodies and lyrics right on the edge of how poetic punk is allowed to be. Like their previous releases, Marka is self-financed, and Fork have never made use of any Norwegian funding schemes.

Fork themselves say they play music for people with few, but strong feelings.
