KITE

About Me


As a constellation of members from some of Norway..s finest rock and metal acts (Stonegard, Jaqueline, Dunderbeist & Tombstones) , KITE makes sure to give a highly experienced, ambitious and exciting contribution to the future sound of Scandinavian hard rock music.
KITE blends elements from hardcore, metal, stoner rock and classic hard rock, and puts it all into a really original and explosive mixture.
The band released their album debut “Bring out your dead” in 2004, in Norway only. Then things were quieted down for a while, since singer and guitarist Ronny got too busy with his other band, Stonegard. But now, after a break for almost 4 years, the band has reformed, hungrier than ever! The lineup has changed a bit, and the music has become harder and heavier, and the new band has already established themselves as one of Norway..s most exciting live acts.
The new album has been written and recorded the last year and a half, and is now finally ready for being unleashed! Releasedate in Norway for "The hook, the line, the sinker" will be october 12th, followed up by a full Norwegian tour!
