Knuste Ruter is a Norwegian punk rock band, known for their energetic sound and politically charged lyrics. Emerging from the vibrant Oslo punk scene, the band has carved out a niche with their raw and melodic approach to the punk rock genre. Firmly anchored in the tradition of Scandinavian punk, Knuste Ruter combines the urgency of early punk with the catchy choruses of later punk rock, delivering their message with both bite and harmony.

Since their formation, Knuste Ruter has been a significant force in the underground music scene. Their music reflects on social and political issues, often commenting on the state of society with a defiant and critical eye. This can be heard in their recent releases such as "NARRESPILL" and "Festen Er Over", which showcase their unapologetic style and ability to create thought-provoking music. Albums like "Tusen Grunner", "Bruddstykker", and "Gjennom Veggene" serve as both anthems for the disaffected and rallying cries for those who seek change. With these releases, Knuste Ruter continues to establish themselves as a leading voice within the genre and remains relevant in the ever-evolving landscape of punk rock.
