Slomosa Tickets

Expansive mountains constitute nearly two-thirds of Norway. This breathtaking grandeur gives the country a sense of natural splendor and mystique as if its topography has held secrets for millennia.

Hailing from the city of Bergen, Norway, Slomosa channel the sprawl of their surroundings through a sweeping signature hybrid of revved-up stoner rock riffage, grungy hooks, and a concentrated punk wallop. As if holding up a sonic mirror image to the landscape, an avalanche of distortion tumbles into valleys of massive melody, teeming with tectonic force. Now, the group—Ben Berdous [vocals, guitar], Marie Moe [vocals, bass], Tor Erik Bye [guitar], and Jard Hole [drums]—perfect this inimitable sound on their aptly titled second full-length offering and MNRK Heavy debut LP, 'Tundra Rock'.

“‘Tundra Rock’ is ‘Desert Rock’ in our terms,” Ben observes. “A desert doesn’t have to be warm. If you think about it, the biggest desert in the world is Antarctica. In this respect, the tundra is our desert. We thought it would be cool to coin a genre, and it’s stuck to us. You could certainly say the grandiosity of nature is evident in the songs.”

Nearly ten years ago, Ben planted the seeds for Slomosa as a “casual excuse to drink beer, smoke, and play rock music with friends.” Without pressure or expectations, songs naturally took shape under the influence of everyone from Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, and Sleep to Nirvana, Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden. The band’s 2020 eponymous debut, 'SLOMOSA', has piled up over 10 million streams fueled by 'Kevin', 'In My Mind’s Desert', 'There Is Nothing New Under The Sun', and 'Horses'. Inciting critical applause, Invisible Oranges raved, “Slomosa are no strangers to evoking the best of early stoner rock without resorting to lazy imitation -- see their self-titled debut for evidence of that.” Meanwhile, they played to packed crowds all over Europe and the UK, scorched the stages of Alcatraz Open Air and Hellfest, and received invites to tour with the likes of Alkaline Trio.
