Moss, Oslo, Norway (2002 – present)

Superfamily is a pop rock band from Moss, Norway. The band is composed of Steven Ray Wilson (lead vocals), Kim Granholt (keytar, synthesizer), Martin Steffensen (guitar), and Richard Lorentz (drums). Anders Nielsen, Terje Krumins and Håkon Moe provide backing vocals as “choirboys”.

Superfamily debuted with an EP in 2004, called Champagne EP. Prior to the release, the band received rotation on NRK P3 and Radio Tango. The band achieved mainstream popularity with the release of their second album, Warszawa, in 2007. The same year, the band won Spellemannprisen in the pop category.

Formation and early years
Superfamily was formed in 2002 by Steven Ray Wilson, Kim Granholt and Martin Steffensen. They wrote and recorded songs at home, and burned “hundreds, maybe thousands” of CD’s which they handed out for free. Gradually developing a small fan following, the band decided to add four new members; a bassist, a drummer, and two “choirboys”. The band started playing live at local pubs and bars, and in small venues in Oslo. The band also received some publicity through NRK Urørt, a project that promotes unsigned artists. Eventually, the band was contacted by Kåre Vestrheim of Propeller Recordings. Vestrheim attended one of the band’s concerts, but was “not particularly impressed” by their performance. After being turned down, the band decided to thoroughly review their problems, by creating a Powerpoint presentation at the University of Oslo, called “How to achieve something live”. The band concluded that they needed more discipline on stage.

nice to find out that Norwegian band made song about Warsaw. ;D but there is one thing - the proper name of their another 'warsaw-themed' song is definitely "Plac Zamkowy October 2nd 1944" not 1044. the date in the title was the last day of Warsaw Uprising.

i've discovered this band at 2005 by:larm festival and a year later i've been to both of their festival shows. they were performing the first half of "back in paris" and it was totally amazing. i was really looking forward to hear their new material but after hearing "the radio..." the whole album was quite a dissappointment for me. the songs seem to be rather blunt and lack the danceability and instant catchiness of the debut material. i hope at least they still know how to rock onstage!

I just discovered that I kept the shitfuck song from ages ago. A great band, altough not as talented as the sadly lost Norwegian indiepop band Tennis. But still.
