Simon Says No! First saw the light of day in the Bergen in the fall of 2006. Within a year later they were nomiated for song of the year on Norways biggest radio station, NRK P3’s “Urørt” (Untouched). With a constantly changing line-up Simon Says No! toured the country and released a casette, before the founding members Ruben Nesse and Simon Økland left their home town for Oslo, where they’d already planned to form a solid 4 piece line up with Rolf Mathiesen and Even A. Winje

In February 2009, the band released their debut EP “Ahoi de Angst”. Drawing on punk/ hardcore backgrounds the band crafted atmospheric rock reminiscent of Ride, My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, while showing their potential, writing catchy tunes like the single “Sleeping Heart”. The EP received critical acclaim, and took the band around Scandinavia, to their British neighbours and across the US. “Shiver” even found its way onto the hit English TV show Skins.

Work on the new album started when the band toured the U.S. in April 2009, with stops on the east and west coasts including dates at SXSW. Shortly after, they were invited to record with Michael Patterson (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Beck, Lady Tron) in Hollywood. At “The Glory Hole Caverns”, the band laid down their first single “Solitary Rush”, which inspired bloggers to coin the term Foo-Gaze in description of their sound (Foo Fighters meets MBV).
