DRAMA – Breaking Away [digitally remastered / first time on CD] (2021)

Norway’s first boy band DRAMA was formed in 1982 in Larvik by Per Kristian Indrehus and Geir Olav ‘Gækki’ Bøkestad, Thomas Siqveland, Per Arne Strandbakken and Gunnar ‘Stikka’ Refsdal, all between 15 and 17 years old. The good thing is this was a special “boy band”: all were already skilled musicians and songwriters, inspired by the classic American rock sound and with a polished Westcoast / Soft FM sound that would have been the envy of many established acts.
While most the lyrics (English language) were written by the project mastermind and record company boss Audun Tylden, all music was composed & arranged by the guys.
Co-produced by reputed Svein Dag Hauge (LAVA), DRAMA got a lot of attention when this debut album “Breaking Away” was released in November 1982. This is the first time being released on CD, as part of the ‘Norske Albumklassikere 80-tallet’ series.
