Vamp is a Norwegian folk-rock band established in 1991 by Torbjørn Økland, (Torbjørn Økland, arranger), Calle Øyvind Apeland (Calle Øyvind Apeland, keyboards), Odin Staveland and Jan Ingvar Toft (Jan Ingvar Toft, Background vocals). The band's distinctive sound is characterized by poetic lyrics and a melodic blend of traditional Norwegian folk music and rock. Their music often draws upon the rich storytelling traditions of their home country, weaving narratives that resonate with themes of nature, human connection, and the complexities of life.

Vamp has enjoyed a significant fanbase in Scandinavia over the years, and their discography includes a range of studio albums, live recordings, and compilations that showcase their evolution as artists. Some of their recent releases, such as "Tiå det tar," and "Smak av salt," continue to showcase their talent for creating emotionally charged songs that connect with listeners on a deep level. With songs like "Løvblad i vinden" and "Når Morgendagen Komme," Vamp maintains their signature style while also exploring new musical territories. Their connection to their roots is perhaps most evident in tracks like "Connys Englar (FK Haugesund)," which pays homage to their local football club. Vamp's ability to blend melancholic melodies with lyrical depth has earned them a lasting place in the hearts of music lovers far beyond the borders of Norway.
