[edit] Biography

Bomberos is a Norwegian-based hardcore punk outfit. Taking the old fashioned approach to the genre, they list bands such as Dead Kennedys, The Misfits, and Nine Pound Hammer as influences. The group was formed by Sven-Erik ‘Maniac’ Kristiansen (Vocals - ex-Mayhem), Bjørn Hinkel (Guitars), Joacim Weibull (Bass) and Einar ‘Beinhard’ Sjursø (Drums) in 2002. Limited to 500 7-inch Vinyls, their January 2003 debut, Bringing Down the Neighborhood Average, acquired the group much respect in the underground Oslo rock scene, becoming well known for their chaotic live performances. In March of 2004, the aptly titled Hate was released, featuring nine minutes of nothing more than pure, venomous hatred. In recent news, Pete ‘Evil’ Vegem (Bass - ex-Hellride) and Bård ‘Faust’ Eithun (Drums - ex-Emperor, ex-Dissection, Aborym, Scum) have both joined the band, replacing Weibull and Sjursø. On Faust's official web page, he had the following to say in regards to his involvement with Bomberos - "The plan is not to conquer the world, but rather just play music, do some gigs and fuck around a little". With songs such as "Groupie Slut" and "Hellhound", Bomberos show they are a rather competent punk group, even if just for fun.
