Pil & Bue is a two-piece from the north of Norway, making emotive, melodic rock music. Their latest album Special Agents earned a nomination at the Norwegian Grammy Awards.

"...a two-piece vastly more than the sum of their parts, their deeply invested fusion of metal and pop-bordering melodic dynamics is given emotional rocketfuel by Petter Carlsen's unrestrained vocals. Sia fronting Gojira is an approximation, but the result is exhilarating and uncontrived, and resonates on every level"
- Jonathan Selzer, Metal Hammer UK .

Co-producer and mixer Christer André Cederberg comments on the new album Special Agents; “This album has it all! Raw energy, pure music joy, anger, sorrow, humor and hope.  It is heavy, punk, dynamic, beautiful, melancholic, and experimental! What more can you ask for?”

With subtle, but pronounced references to artists like Metallica, Radiohead, A Perfect Circle, Anathema and Mars Volta, Pil & Bue delivers “Hard, gloomy & joyful music...” (Metal Hammer NO)

The band's raw and melodic music quickly struck a note with Hollywood director Tommy Wirkola who included the Pil & Bue single “You Win Again” in his now cult-status movie “Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival January 2014.
Also, their single “Fire” from their second album “Forget the Past, Let’s Worry About The Future” is featured on the end credits of Hollywood/Netflix blockbuster “What Happened To Monday” (2017).
