About Me

Hanne McBride unfortunately is lacking cyber intelligence. Easy all of a sudden seems to not play properly. Please listen via the bizmo on the bottom left side of this page if you really, really wanna hear it.
Hanne McBride emerged on Oslo’s concert scene after favourable reviews of her debut track IOU, when it was featured on the critically acclaimed Norwegian charity album Prosjekt 101 in December 2006.
The ex journalist writes her own material and labels her songs as introverted journeys through this game that is life. Love lost and found meets explicit lyrics, creating an honest portrayal of the world as she knows it. The happy footstompers are few and far between, but lately she's trying harder (at both happiness and footstomping), so watch this space.
After gathering forces with some good few brilliant musicians (who are all listed to your left) and superhero and producer Anders Møller, the EP The Beat & Bad Company was released in 2008, and is available through Platekompaniet - high street and online and Djuice.
Follow this link to get your hard copy, or buy the tracks through the bizmo on the left!! For those of you who are constantly broke, the songs can be downloaded for nothing though Urørt .

Concussion and great reviews
