| The singer and bass
player of STREET LEGAL, Bjørn Boge, was a member
of the Norwegian AOR band DaVinci in the late 80s , enjoying
several #1 hit singles in his home country. Tired of endless
arguments over both business and musical direction, he decided
it was time to build something from scratch. Together with
drummer Bjørn Olav Lauvdal (BOL), Bjorn Boge created
STREET LEGAL, sharing the same musical vision: energy and
melody - balls with brains - Motorhead meets the Eagles
! Heavily influenced by classic Hard Rock acts such as Thin
Lizzy, Whitesnake, UFO/MSG, OZZY and Van Halen, with no
sign of "alternative" musical directions, STREET
LEGAL wanted to create something unique: a truly classy
vintage Hard Rock band! Could this be done ? Yes indeed.
The band's debut CD "Thunderdome" was a long one
in the making but when guitar player Ken Ingwersen finally
joined the band things started to move real fast. On the
21st of May 1999 STREET LEGAL also played their first official
gig at Rockefeller, Norway's biggest rock club - as support
act for W.A.S.P. In front of 1100 fans they completely outplayed
W.A.S.P. with the press writing: - "Iron Maiden threatened
Kiss in 1980, Clawfinger showed muscle before Anthrax in
1990, Skunk Anansie blew away Therapy? in 1995. In 1999
Street Legal outplayed W.A.S.P." - Stig Myhre (Nettpuls).
"Street Legal should be the next Norwegian act to make
a remarkable impact on an international level" - Jan
Dahle (Scream). Frontiers released "Thunderdome" in Europe on March 6th 2000, gathering excellent responses from fans and critics. Especially renowned for their outstanding live shows, Street Legal also appeared at the Sweden Rock Festival in June and at The Gods Festival in the UK in November 2000. Their music was often compared to Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake and Blue Murder a sound deeply rooted in the late 70's, but clearly present in our day and age. After a long period of hibernation and lineup changes, Street Legal are now back with a brand new album. The band is now formed by main man Bjorn Boge on bass and vocals and his brother Oystein on drums, with Tore Ostby (ex ARK, Conception) and Rolf Bjorseth on guitars. "Bite the bullet" is a true piece of Classic Rock" says singer and bassist Bjorn Boge. "Groovy. Bluesy. Very melodic. And lots of cool guitar stuff ! More "organic" than "Thunderdome" soundwise, but with lots of energy and passion. The boys are back in town!" "Bite The Bullet" was produced by Bjorn Boge and mixed and mastered by Tommy Newton (Helloween, Victory, UFO). |
