Attention Now!

About Me

With one foot planted on the indie scene of Stavanger and a toe dipped in the electronica melting pot, ATTENTION NOW! produces a well balanced blend of indie, electro and new-wave. Programmed loops and beats, analogue Roland Space Echo, the use of electric guitars, bass, glockenspiel, keyboards, rhythm instruments, drums and whatever sounds good makes the musical foundation of ATTENTION NOW! No musical consept, limitations, rules or formulas and such bullshit, we produce what we feel like and when we feel like it! Recently being joined by K.I.Nilsen on drums and E.Bjerga on bass Attention Now! are a four-piece band who has just hit the stage! 12 songs are starting to get ready for release. Check out the video for the song "Soundwaves" and stay tuned for more news! Thanks for your Attention! Now! Let's focus on music! real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools

Sounds Like: "...Watch the video for Attention Now!’s song Soundwaves, which is lovely -- and the music is even better. It starts out soft and slow, then builds to a climax, an instrumental assault of both pain and a twisted kind of happiness. Really well done; really gripping. I liked it, anyway." - Sara/Ashtrays Podcast"Since this sounds like a mix of The Notwist, Radio Dept. and EPO-555/ONBC it was a pretty good guess that I would like it. Attention Now! is still unsigned, but the track Sarcasm Shooter has received some airplay on various radio stations in Norway, so hopefully record labels will soon be knocking on the door. Some remixing activity is going on as well, so there should be plenty of interesting new stuff to be looking forward to." - Stytzer/Hits in the car
