Retroheads

The RETROHEADS-project was started in 2003 by Tore after he had been working several years as a commercial music- and sound-producer for radio and TV in Norway.

The band now consists of 5 musicians with various musical backgrounds; from jazz, pop and rock to African and world-music. 5 musicians who all share the same vision that music must be made and performed without limits, borders, restrictions or commercial angles. In other words : With creative freedom ! The RETROHEADS are no copycats of the past, although the band uses instruments with significant sounds and links to the 70's, like the Hammond B3, Mellotron, ARP, MiniMoog and Taurus bass pedals. They use the latest available technology and VST instruments to emulate the real thing. After all; It's not the way you create music that matters, It's the way you think!

Tore is the true retrophile of the band. As a teenager in the 70's, he attended concerts with bands such as Genesis,Gentle Giant, Gong, Focus, Yes, Camel and Frank Zappa. He has never recovered since; he's still a sworn prog fan more than 30 years later. He has played bass and basspedals in Villblomst, Fruitcake, Dot No The Retroheads "Retrospective" album is his first album ever as solo composer of all 9 tracks.

Making contemporary progressive rock, using the instruments and sounds of the golden era in progressive music, is the main idea behind the RETROHEADS concept.

A concept that tributes the free spirits of this era, not as copycats, but by adapting a way to think and make music without limits, borders, restrictions and commercial angles. In other words: with creative freedom.

With the release of “Retrospective” in 2004, the path was set for the future.

The album was very well received by the progressive rock community,
receiving good reviews and feedback from all parts of the world.

And the future is here now, with the much acclaimed album “Introspective” released in 2006.

The band has developed and matured since the early days in 2002, and consists now of 7 musicians, all coming from various backgrounds; jazz, pop, rock and world-music.

In 2007, RETROHEADS will tour Europe, the US and Canada playing clubs and festivals, such as RoSFest2007. A new album is planned for 2008.
