Fordrekord

**Fordrekord** is a Norwegian indie/folk duo hailing from Trondheim, known for blending twangy guitars, raw vocals, and darkly humorous lyrics wrapped in melancholic melodies. Formed by childhood friends Stian Fjelldal and Ole Einar Nergård, the pair crafts music that feels like a campfire sing-alay set in a Nordic noir landscape—think existential dread meets slapstick comedy. Their catalog, including recent tracks like the bittersweet "Faen, eg savne deg nå" and the brooding "Danse på glasskår," balances gritty folk-rock energy with introspective storytelling, often nodding to small-town life, heartache, and absurdity.

Since emerging in the early 2010s, Fordrekord has carved out a niche with their DIY ethos and unfiltered live performances (where audience heckling is practically part of the show). Tracks like "Solbrent Symfoni" and "St. Gøran" showcase their knack for turning bleak themes into oddly uplifting anthems, cementing their reputation as Norway’s answer to "sad music you can dance to." Whether they’re crooning about drunken misadventures or existential downpours, Fordrekord remains a love letter to life’s messy, imperfect moments.
