Undergrünnen is a new explosive rock band started by Pål Jackman from Wunderkammer, and Per Steinar Lie and Ørjan Haaland from The Low Frequency in Stereo and Lumen Drones. With a fistful of krautrock, a big fistful of energy and a pinch of afrobeat in Norwegian, the trio supplies a special twist of how a rock trio should sound like.

Per Steinar from the band explains what Undergrunnen is about: We wanted to create a very intense band based in Haugesund, with roots in both primitive rock og afro rock. Pål has played in a band from Ivory Coast and I’ve been a roadie for Andy Brown and the Storm from Zimbabwe. Our ambition is to mix the African sound with the Norwegian language. Of course we emphasize that we play a Norwegian type of afro rock, and we regard it as a mix where MC5 touches African rhythms.
