Their fresh and dirty street rock paired with Norwegian punk poetry gave Oslo Ess a tremendous 2011. They were already off to a bright start by signing a record deal and playing the Urørt Final in January (National radio station P3’s equivalent of BBC Introducing). Then they played three fabled by:Larm performances in February, released their debut album, toured and played most of the major festivals. Oslo Ess makes it cool to sing in Norwegian again. They classic rock with large doses of Rancid-esque punk and Swedish Ebba Grön, tell credible and very charming tales about everything from strippers, junkies in love and stolen bikes. Oslo Ess rise from the gutter with a wide and infectious grin.
