Separate Ways

We say

The Well is a Norwegian six-piece band comprising of brothers and cousins from Bergen. Growing up together and going to the same school, Freddy, Olllie, Stan, Oliver, Andrew and TJ soaked up tons of musical influences as teens including Arcade Fire, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and decided to form a group - even though their experience of playing music at that point was rather limited. Flash forward to 2012 and the lads were spotted by Geir Luedy from leading Scandinavian management company MADE and last year found themselves in the final for the Norwegian Emergenza Festival, the biggest band competition in the world. Now ready to make their assault into the global music market, their sound is epic, reminding us of fellow countrymen A-ha on some of their bolder tracks from the backend of the '80s. Starting off sounding deceptively vulnerable, this ambitious debut single grows in stature with every play and bodes well for a album that should hopefully follow soon in the new year. Telling a familiar tale of heartbreak, the bittersweet tone and solid production lifts this firmly into 'stadium anthem' territory. You'd be foolish to bet against them winning over festival crowds across Europe and beyond next summer.
