TRANSIT has been around since 1974 and will most probably hang out until the fifties/ sixties, depending on the turns this life long project will run into hah hah... The debut album "Decent man on a desperate moon" was recorded from august 04 ..till march 06, and will be released May the 23rd 2008 via Karmakosmetix Records/ ProMedia. Anyways; go have a listen mama!

Some background;
TRANSIT used to be lead singer in a norwegian progmetal band called IN THE WOODS... ITW released four full lenght albums from 1995 ’till 2000 and a double livealbum in 2003. The band sold shitloads of records in most corners of the world, but split up in 2000 because most of the guys wanted to explore new fields in music...

Band Members: jan k. transeth... + nowadays i'm working with a great band who sounds like this: christer a. cederberg (guitar), arnstein haakonsen (a whole lot of stash we've never seen before etc), tommy jackson (battery) and stein r. sordal (bass). Haven't figured out a decent band name for them yet, so i guess TRANSIT will have to do for the whole lot...

Influences: all or nothing, that's the deal
it'll come and it'll disappear
now you have it
now you don't
you thought it would go on forever
but it won't
you saw her waving through the cold
now you got to let it go
she's the kinda girl that is the world on her own
now you got to let it go
sweet gentle kind loving seeing meeting
she's a fable kind of being
a song for the seeking
i could dream of her besides me being close as can be
but it's hard to keep the faith with a man like myself
she's a song for the keeping
you saw her waving through the cold
now you got to let it go
move move move
always on the move
can't stay for a while before the tide comes rolling like a beast
getting rid of the pain..
Sounds Like: something you've heard before, but you're not sure where, when or how
