Fairmount

Fairmount was born in Oslo, Norway, and a good definition for the band would be: solid, simple, fired up rhythmic rock. To put it in a few words, Fairmount is a burst of energy. Every song seems like a short blast of powerful chords and yet has melodic vocals.

Unlike what people often think about the sad, dark and obscure music coming from the Nordic countries, Fairmount's music lifts the mood and takes away the drowsiness when needed. Perhaps the reason for this is the lineup: Four musicians with different nationality backgrounds, from Norwegian-Portuguese to German-Norwegian and Mexican to an American.

The band has accomplished international reach despite being young by after recording the first EP with producer John Ovnik at Pressure Point Studios in Chicago doing an International tour that started in London, UK and went all the way to Norway, Netherlands, Germany, USA and Mexico. Fairmount has also been named band of the day in one of Mexico City's rock radio stations and so far has gained fans from countries such as Argentina, Norway, USA, Mexico, Colombia, Sweden, Germany, France, Australia and UK just to mention some; this you can check on the band's facebook fan database page plus some press releases in Mexico, Germany and Norway.

The band is actually recording the new release PULVERIZE that will see the light in April 2011.
