The five Norwegian guys who form Auden Prim are sure to take over the music world if you are going to believe Gigwise magazine and Mary-Anne Hobbs (Radio1); I really like this track! I listen to hundreds of demos every week and this one clearly stands out!’ Mary Anne played 'Living Strong' on the Rock Show saying 'Believe it or not, that is just a demo! Everybody thought the demo was so spectacular, I think it's absolutely cracking! The band has also featured on Kerrang Radio, Radio City and BBC Radio1 and in magazines such as NME, Fly Magazine and Musicweek. 'The Prims' have a little something extra and they are definitely on the verge of invading our helpless country’ - Andy Day, Gigwise Magazine. Having played many successful shows, toured both UK and Norway, done stadiums and festivals in Norway, the guys are described as intriguing, beautiful, very listen-able amalgamation of some very talented individuals; the wise lead singer, the ginger Viking warrior bassist, the ABBA-fan synth-player that is so utterly engrossed in the vibes that he sometimes forget where he is, the eye-catching crazy maniac guitarist and the rather normal drummer…bless him.

The Prims are: Kjell Ove Knutsen, Tord Ø. Knudsen, Øyvind T. Jenssen, Thomas Haakonsen & Audun Søgnen.

“The Prims” have a little something extra and they are definitely on the verge of invading our helpless country” - Andy Day, Gigwise Magazine, UK

“Not only are they musically tight, they're just insatiably entertaining and the audience can't help but get sucked in.”
Sarah Bauman, Resurrection and Panic! DJ, Liverpool Barfly

“They just grabbed their guitars and toured down to the gig to knock out a few songs in front of an extraordinary audience of Robbie Williams’ lawyer, myself, the drummer from Simple Minds and many other famous music industry people. They all kept touring down to the venue after having heard their brilliant demo at the Sound Advice panel. An absolutely cracking performance!”
Mary Anne Hobbs, The Rock Show, BBC Radio 1

“Not often do you hear a local, Norwegian import band that sounds American and British yet extremely Scandinavian with a modern retro feel. Well, not very often do you hear a Norwegian band form in Liverpool in the first place, and if you did, they would probably only know three chords, look horrific or be bad songwriters. Auden Prim seems to have more or less the whole package; 5 hairy guys with colourful clothes and personalities who have a certain preference for unstructured rock beats. These guys rock!”
Kaya Herstad, Northern Lights Club, Aurora Borealis Promotion

“It’s bit of a move uprooting a whole band from Norway to Liverpool but five piece Auden Prim have managed to pull it off and look and sound like they still mean it. Their lead vocalist has an excellent strong voice which holds together their well written indie rock – reminiscent of Mansun, Idlewild or even a bit Muse-y. Auden Prim have the songs and a look that could take them all the way to the top and with a demo as good as this and mounting accolades from all and sundry expect to hear from them in the not too distant future.”
Andy Day, Gigwise Magazine

Five-piece Auden Prim recently issued their Pilot Of The Year EP. This indie rock outfit from Norway have been making their mark on the Liverpool scene, coming out of nowhere. With references to Idlewild and Mansun, the boys are obviously serious about their intentions. This is demonstrated by tracks like 'Pilots', Living Strong' and '2nd Best'. The sound and production is spot on and the band, fronted by singer Kjell Ove, prove to be a solid unit. Stuart Todd, Gigwise Magazine

“Auden Prim are the talk of the town right now”
Tea Rocks Music Week, Liverpool

“You need to book these guys now, before it gets too expensive”
Stavanger Aftenblad, N

“Playing after Auden Prim was probably not an easy job for the next band at the festival”
Sunnmorsposten, N
