Flight Mode

Flight Mode are a three-piece emo band from Oslo, Norway that have been around since 2021. They've released a succession of three EP's, all with names derived from times and places. Out the gate this band hits a nostalgic tinge, which is bolstered by the wistful music they make. Clean guitars noodle over these mid-tempo tracks, with an intentional, quivering vocals delivered with palatable vocal deliveries. It's carrying the torch that bands like Death Cab For Cutie and The Appleseed Cast did in the early 2000's, with nods to the midwest emo sound of the late 90's. Recently their three EP's were compiled and released all together by Tiny Engines, which is the essential here as their discography to date has been flawless. Enjoy.

Kaospilot

Kaospilot were a five-piece screamo/hardcore band from Oslo, Norway that were around from 2001 to 2005. They played a dark, intensive brand of screamo, with an incredible array of vocals, and an ability to play with an impressive range of sounds, from frenzied blastbeat chaos, to calm melodic parts, to seething, heavy slow burners. They utilized dissonant, angular chords, off-kilter rhythms, sharp changes in dynamics, and some vicious drum patterns. All of this might sound vagulely familiar, because they are staples in modern screamo, indicating Kaospilot as a definite major player in terms of influence. They put out a solid slew of material in their time together, but their posthumous sophomore album Shadows is their stand out. Enjoy.
