Snöras is one of my favorite bands! I just released them on a double vinyl that included their first album, heart of weakness, and their second album, Plague Waters. Highly recommended.

You should try to get ahold of greywhale entertainment in Salt Lake City, Utah. They sell everything... Except the Samuel Jackson Five which is very very annoying.

thanks for the tip!
If anyone know of some DIY distros then shout out loud!

Nice to hear! Here´s some info if anyones interested:

Snöras is actually a one-man-band. It´s Lukestars lead guitarist writing, singing and playing everything (except the drums) on the albums. When Snöras play live shows he uses different ppl, f.ex. ppl from JR Ewing, Kaospilot, Dominic etcetc, for each album. This to get a different sound, when all ppl have their own style of playing.

Lukestar is one of my absolute favourite powerpopbands. The biggest reason would probably be because their guitarsound is inspired by the music I love the most, hardcore. The members of Lukestar have all been members or are members of hardcorebands. (f.ex. The Spectacle www.myspace.com/thespectaclehc who was released by american CrimethInc and P.W. Elverum & sun, and Kaospilot who was released by Level-Plane)
I highly recommend The spectacle for all you hcore/metalfans!
Lukestar just recently won the norwegian grammy for best rock-act.

Rumble In rhodos.... wonderful music, wonderful ppl and one of the best live acts on this earth. If you ever get a chance to see them then do so. They won the "Favourite new international artist" award at the Independent Music Awards last year.
Wrote Fader Magazine (UK) in its review of Rumble in Rhodos Øya Festival gig in Oslo last august: The sleeper band of the festival is also the recipient of the Dr Dog Award. Rumble In Rhodos are five young norwegian dudes who are on some At The Drive In shit with slightly softer angles. The lead singer plays both Blood Brothers at once, singing one line with a Cedric Bixler Zavala high voice, then drops down into a really nice low singing voice. The songs are great, but they get the Dr Dog Award for being young dudes that don’t try to act like rock stars, or anything at all for that matter. They don’t dress up like assholes and they don’t pose. One guy does have a kinna crazy mustache, but it looks awesome and he’s Norwegian so maybe it’s not weird. But yeah, RIR just play great hardcore-ish rock and are psyched about it. So are we.

Dominic is just hardcorepunk the way it should be played! They are excellent on stage and their last album is fantastic!

hope you guys find this interesting and give these bands a listening.
