The year is 2014 and the Tromsø-based band that eventually gets the name LÜT sees its birth in hermetically sealed “boy rooms” where hormones and teenage anxiety were in free flow. The result is refined and distinctive rock, which captures fans from both underground and mainstream cultures.
The year is 2024 and LÜT has played at Summer Breeze (DE), Motocultor (FR), Spot Festival (DK) by:larm, Slottsfjell, Bukta, Malakoff, Trondheim Calling, Vinje Rock, Tons Of Rock. LÜT has been nominated as Newcomer of the Year at the Norwegian Grammys and Live act of the year 2017 on NRK P3 Gold. They have received praise from Lars Ulrich (Metallica) in his podcast "It's Electric" and the album "Mersmak" from 2021 got 5/6 in Rolling Stone Magazine, which would allow them to play support for Germany's great heroes DIE ÄRZTE on a stadium tour in front of 80,000 people in 2022, and then for Skambankt on their closing tour in Norway in 2022.
10 years have passed.
Is the anxiety less, the shoulders lowered and the kicks lower? In no way. The world is still attacked with sharp claws, suggestive melody lines and harsh lyrics. Having played together more than half of their lives, Tromsø's proud sons deliver a refined combo of salty, raw and unrestrained rock, painted by contrasts that only darkness, extreme cold, and eternal summer nights of northern norway can create.
