Hellbillies are a renowned Norwegian country rock band that has consistently captivated the hearts of music enthusiasts with their distinctive blend of American country sounds and lyrics sung in their own Halling dialect. Emerging from Ål in Hallingdal, Norway in 1990, the band was originally formed by brothers Aslag (guitar, vocals) and Lars Håvard Haugen (guitar), along with Arne Moslåtten (keyboards, accordion, flute), Bjørn Gunnar Sando (drums), and Egil Stemkens (bass). They have since become a staple in the Norwegian music landscape.

Throughout their decades-spanning career, Hellbillies have cultivated an extensive catalogue and garnered a loyal following. In their recent releases, such as "Blå dag" and "I eksil på Sundrehall" from their 2020 album "Blå dag," they continue to demonstrate their lyrical prowess and their keen ability to meld genres, crafting music that resonates with both the dance floor and the introspective listener. Albums like "Søvnlaus" and the live recordings "LEVANDE Live" and "Dirkefri Live" showcase the band's live charm and musical dexterity. With "Tretten" and "Leite etter lykka," Hellbillies reinforce their status as storytellers, infusing their songs with a sense of place and experience that is quintessentially Norwegian. Their longevity and relevance are a testament to the undeniable influence and popularity Hellbillies have in Scandinavia's music scene.
