RICOCHETS – SHOOTING STAR
RELEASE: NOVEMBER 24th
November 24th the Norwegian rock-legends Ricochets release their new single «Shooting Star».
This is the first taste from the band’s first album release in seventeen years, that will drop early 2023.
In
2019 Ricochets finally came back to play and captured crowds at
festivals all over Norway. Their live shows have gotten magnificent
reviews in the press and massive love from the crowds – that have become
both older and younger since last time!
The
experience of being back on stage awoke the creative powers of the
band, that ended up writing their fourth full-length album which will be
their first since 2005.
The
single Shooting Star is the first taste of what’s to come on the
upcoming album. A heavy, drifting, and energetic banger of a rock track,
that really carries the message that something big is on the way from a
band in its prime.
ABOUT RICOCHETS
Ricochets
started their career back in 1998, and quickly became a force to be
reckoned with in the Norwegian rock scene. Their debut album Slo-Mo
Suicide landed them a nomination to the Norwegian Grammy Awards, as
newcomer of the year, and their next album was also nominated the the
Norwegian Grammys, in the rock album of the year category.
In
2009 the band split up, and it wasn't before 2019 the band announced
that they were coming back. Ricochets return to festival stages have
thrilled the crowds at festivals as Øya, Bukta, Pstereo, Månefestivalen
and Tons of Rock since then, and they are now finally announcing that a
new album is set to release in 2023.
“Their
album trilogy is some of the most timeless and solid rock ever made in
Scandinavia, and they will stand as long as people listens to rock.
But we must not forget that this first and foremost var a live band.
They were so good that it was almost unbelievable”
- Egon Holstad
February 2023 the band goes back on tour with their brand new album “Closer to the Light”!
