Aidons La Norvege

Aidons La Norvege from Perugia, Italy, were formed in 1982; they showcased a typical dark wave style with Italian lyrics. They recorded an unforgettable 12" entitled "La Sfida" ("The Challenge", originally released by Spittle Records). Along with the aforementioned EP the band had significant live experiences, in Italy and abroad, recorded several demotapes and participated to various compilations (including the tape "The Fifth Column", released by French label Wallenberg and including contributes by Death In June, 23 Skidoo and others. Aidons La Norvege quitted in 1988 playing only a few more occasional concerts. The CD release "Ostaggi" includes the four tracks that appeared on the "La sfida" 12", along with a selection of recordings from the same years that were only included on some promotional demotapes - and therefore substantially unreleased - for a total playing time of about 50 minutes of refined music to be remembered or rediscovered, also because the band have recently regrouped for some concert and is active again.
