Shotgun Whalers

With countless concerts at home and abroad, has Shotgun Whalers become one of Norway's most experienced live band. The band started in spring 2007 after pressure from The Tiger City Jukes eminent frontman Knut Eide. The debut took place July 24, 2007 at the popular "Summertime Blues" in Horten, a small town in Norway.

The eponymous first album Shotgun Whalers were released in August 2008 on Flipside Records, and got great reviews in the Norwegian newspaperTonsberg Blad and in the Norwegian website Rockmag Info.

The guys in Shotgun Whalers plays a wonderful mix of Blues, Rhythm and Blues, Rock'n Roll, Rockabilly, Country and Surf, all fused into something they call for Rhythm and Bluesabilly. Their second album, Sharp Blade (2010), is a great example of what Rhythm and Blueasabilly is. The album was well received by the press and Hans Christian Moen in Tonsberg Blad said this about the album: Musical strictly rockabilly, but elements from other genres popping up here and there. The production is tight, great sound with excellent vocals and guitar work, it’s just a solid and precise rock and roll, Shotgun Whalers is a band with their own sound and they give us quality all the way.
