Swedish
punk-rock group from Gustavsberg. |
NoIcE
got their key to success by winning the rockband competition "ROCK 79". They were contracted by the recordcompany Sonet and the music
publisher/producer
Ola
Håkansson. He believed in their talent and
helped them
releasing their first single. Shortly after came their debutalbum
"Tonårsdrömmar". A legendary album that could be found on every Swedish teenager's turntable in the early 80's -and ever since.
In 1980 they got their real break-through after a TV performance
in "Måndagsbörsen" with the song "En Kväll
i T-Banan".
End of 1980, Klasén left the band and was replaced by Fredrik von Gerber (drums)
.
New recordings, tours and screaming fans all around -so was the World ready for NoIcE?
The single "Everything's Alright / One Night In The Subway" was released in Germany, but the
international success would never really occur... in spite of
several european performances.
The Swedish fans were true to them, though. In December 1981 NoIcE had some gigs
at the rockclub Ritz, from which a live album and a documentary (VHS) were
produced.
The following year, Niklas Östergren replaced Carlsson as the lead singer of the
group.
NoIcE disbanded in 1982.
Some of the members performed reunion tours in 1991 and 1995.
After the long
& intensive summer tour 1995,
NoIcE released the brand new album "Vild Vild Värld",
containing 10 new written songs and 10 new recordings of old hits.
New musicians on the tour/album; Richard
Evenlind (guitar) & Frank Rönningen (keyboards).
Their last gig would be in March 1996.
