About Me

The Pumps has existed since 1998 and since then have been an active part of the rock scene in Oslo, Norway. The band has played more than 100 concerts and has toured in Norway, Denmark and Germany.
”The lead vocal is an undiscovered treasure. She has all the classic rock poses plus communicates energy and authentic sensibility. We would love to hear more from this band” (Concert review www.spot.no 2005).
In 2006, they contributed to the sound track of a Norwegian film, “Cold Feet” and also released a split single with another Norwegian rock band, The Retardos..
Despite many years of live performances, great reviews, demos and a solid fan club, the band has not released an album until now. The Pumps have written and performed many songs throughout the years and for that reason, the title of their CD is 9 Singles and a B-side.
