DumDum Boys are a Norwegianrock band from Trondheim.[1] They are one of the most successful Norwegian rock acts of all time, and are considered one of the "four great" bands who popularized modern rock with Norwegian lyrics in the mid-to-late 1980s (along with Jokke & Valentinerne, Raga Rockers and DeLillos). Before breaking into the mainstream they were known as a punk rock act under the name Wannskrækk.
DumDum Boys started in the late 1970s as a punk rock act under the name Wannskrækk,[a] inspired by acts such as Lasse Myrvold and The Aller Værste!, who pioneered punk rock with Norwegian lyrics. They played gigs extensively in Trondheim and gained a cult following. They released two singles, Faen Kuler Treffer Aldri Riktig (1981) and " ...12"... " (1982), and one live album, Wannskrækk/Liliedugg - Last Opera/Live Ritz Trondheim 12. juni 84 . In 1992 a compilation album was released, "Wannskrækk - Riff (1980-1985)" which consisted of released and unreleased material from that period.[7]
DumDum Boys (1985)edit
In 1985 Wannskrækk adopted a more mainstream, rock sound[citation needed] and took the name DumDum Boys[3] (after a song by Iggy Pop and David Bowie).[5] The following year, they released their first single "Sorgenfri".[5][3]
Blodig Alvor (1988)edit
Their first album, Blodig Alvor (1988) broke into the sales charts at #14. The album received the Spellemannprisen for best rock record of the year.[8]
Splitter Pine and Pstereo (1989–1990)edit
Their second album Splitter Pine, was released in 1989, which also received a Spellemann award, and was certified gold. The third album Pstereo, released in 1990, also received the award.[3]
1990–2018edit
From 1990 to 2012 DumDum Boys has released eight albums, of which six reached #1, one #2, and one #7 on the Norwegian charts.[citation needed]
In 2011 they played a special concert as Wannskrækk at the music festival Øyafestivalen in Oslo.[9]
