Airbag, 21 April 2023

Norwegian prog rockers AIRBAG has been hailed as one of the most important to emerge from the Norwegian prog scene over the past decades.
Airbag was formed in the mid 2000s by five high school class mates, including Asle Tostrup (vocals) and Bjørn Riis (guitars). The band released their first EP, titled Come on In in 2004 and a string of self produced EPs was offered for free on their website receiving nearly a quarter of a million downloads within a few months. The networking paid off and Airbag signed with the now prestigious Norwegian prog label Karisma Records in August 2008.
The band has a unique sound that draws elements from classic and progressive rock, chill and jazz, and have influences from artist from a wide range of genres - from Pink Floyd to Radiohead.
