“Led by singer-guitarist Oystein Greni, BIGBANG lit the power-pop chime and songwriting of Big Star and late-Eighties R.E.M with the power blues dynamics of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble.” -- David Fricke, Rolling Stone Magazine

BIGBANG has sold more than 500,000 CDs in Europe (their catalog includes the biggest-selling live album in Norwegian history), and boasts a touring schedule that includes a couple dozen 20,000 capacity European festivals per year. Once known only to Scandinavian music fans, BIGBANG's notoriety grew considerably when they scored the opening slot on the 2006 U.K. leg of The Raconteurs European tour.
