about

All music by TOG

Tog - the trio of Steinar Heide Bø (drums & percussion), Vetle André Skåli (baritone guitar) and Brede Sørum (soprano & tenor saxophones, moog) - is an unstoppable engine, powered by rhythmic outbursts, crunching riffs, saxophone scurries and wails, the kind of playing that teases and herds the listener towards an unrelenting frenzy, a breathless sonic assault on the senses.

Their music is loaded to bursting point with diverse musical elements running from the near-ethereal to the combustible. Their bristling riffs are punctuated by moments of soundscaping, expressionistic passages that serve as launchpads for crunching jazzpunkrock explorations, or as sly feints before they release another careering juggernaut of frenzied high-octane invention. They shift moods with ease, attack and release unexpectedly, switch sonic lanes in a heartbeat, and frequently leap from a near-standstill to terminal velocity in a heartbeat. Expression and intensity are what matter, and when this is coupled with their quality musicianship, almost anything can and does occur.

Since their debut in 2019 Tog has played at major festivals in Norway, as well as providing support for jazzrock giants Kanaan and Møster! With MEGAMAX, Tog are striding boldly towards higher levels, proving that their blend of musical ingredients is capable of making something not only imbued with volatility, but possessing enough atmospheric scene-setting to raise its singular profile high within the collective musical consciousness.

about

Tog Norway

Tog is a musical locomotive. A powerhouse driven by high-energy baritone guitar riffs over explosive drums, and a wailing saxophone on top. On stage, the band is constantly pushing the energy and intensity higher and higher, with an almost desperate drive. With a foundation in free jazz and heavy punkish-rock, the trio tries to evolve their sound to become a truly unique, genre free experience. ... more
