At the place where only topnotch acts visit, and everything sounds sharp, emerging Norwegian punk trio, Dark Times, delivered a frenzied ten-song set in under thirty minutes, as part of SPOT Festival on its 25th anniversary. The Tapetown studio was packed, and the band's performance exceeded all expectations.
Give is the title track of Dark Times' debut LP from 2014, a three-minute piece full of raw noise rock and punk energy, discharged here with even more zest, edge and charm, than what we've heard on the evidently perfectly produced studio version.
Dark Times are Rikke Fjell Jørgensen (drums), Ann Kristin Traaen (guitar, vocals) and Andrea Barsnes Undset (bass). The band's latest record, Tell Me What I Need, came out in 2018 via Sheep Chase Records, and it's a recommended listen.
