Cherry Cinema & Superslow // ROKKEN
- 30MayStudenthuset Rokken
Superslow:
After releasing the singles Time Bomb, Pyromaniacs, The End, and 5AM, and playing festival gigs at 100 Dagar and Havstrøm, Superslow finally dropped their long-awaited debut album last May, titled I Feel Like It's Over. The album was well received by fans and the press, impressing Bergens Tidende and Gaffa – the former even gave them a top score of 6!!
But the journey is far from over! This year, we've already received new music from the rock band in the form of the single Freud's Last Dance, which has been praised by Gaffa and Dagsavisen, and was playlisted on P3, along with Stop Me and HALLWAYFIGHTSCENE.MOV/Psychological Warfare.
Since debuting on the NRK P3 charts with the single Hello in the spring of 2022, Superslow has truly kept the momentum going. In fact, all five tracks from their debut EP, Mess, were listed on NRK P3, in addition to receiving countless spot plays on P13 and other stations. They have already been played more than 2000 times on Norwegian radio! They have also performed at Camp Øya and Øya Pride, along with some smaller festivals, and the tracks from their debut album have received massive support from NRK P3, P13, and Urørt.
Superslow hits you hard right from the first riff. Don’t let the name fool you into thinking otherwise. With lyrics about self-discovery and relationships, wrapped in fuzzy riffs and energetic toplines, we refuse to believe you won’t be tempted to dance to this. At the very least, you’ll be nodding along! This is garage rock inspired by rainbows, comic books, cold showers, and missteps from guys in their twenties.
This crew is ready to blow Rokken away in May!
Cherry Cinema:
In 2023, Cherry Cinema released their debut album Crystal Clear, which included the P3-listed track Don't Do It, with over 500 plays on Norwegian radio. Their first single after the album release, Relapse, came out in August and was well received by radio and the press, with a world premiere on NRK P13, playlisting on NRK P3, RadiOrakel, and Radio 102, a 6/6 review from Høyttaler Musikkmagasin, and a recommendation from GAFFA.
Over the past year, they’ve been writing new music that demands to be heard. Preferably from the stage! Rumor has it that their songs gain a new dimension when performed live, making it hard to stand still as they race through their set with high BPM and rock guitars.
They create pop-rock with big synths that nod to the '80s, but their new material also leans toward early 2000s emo! Their sound draws inspiration from bands like Paramore, The Killers, and The Japanese House, resulting in music that is original, exciting, and unmistakably Cherry Cinema.
The mix of danceable music and introspective lyrics gives listeners a unique feeling that they are not alone in the struggles life brings, while still providing a safe space to let loose. Cherry Cinema is here for you, whether you want to dance or cry.
On March 28th, they are dropping their first track of the year, called Game Over, which might be the hardest song they’ve ever written. And they promise to play it LOUD at Rokken in May!
