Surferosa has revamped their website: http://www.surferosa.no/
I'm not as against this band as I used to be, but man oh man that has to be one of the worst promo photos I've seen in awhile.

Kristian Anttila's upcoming album "Innan bomberna" has been given the new release date of November 2.
The Chrysler reports they just completed the recording of three new tracks with Henrik von Euler and will be releasing new four-track EP in late October. The songs included will be "Tonight I don't sleep", "Cold war classic", a cover of Bob Dylan's "Changing of the guards" and "First blood" from their latest album "Cold war classic". Don't be confused: the album "Cold war classic" doesn't actually include the song of the same name - it's exclusive to this new release. In other news, the US version of the band's first album "Failures and sparks" is out now on Galaxy Gramophone in a new edition with five bonus tracks. I actually just got a copy in the mail today and can confirm that it looks sweet, but I haven't listened quite yet.
