Supercraft

About

Supercraft consist of 2 members. They are Egil Thomas Hansen and Geir Johansen. Both hail from Halden, a small town in Norway, and they are both in their early prime age. They share the same big interest in music, and have done so since childhood. From 1990 until 1995 Geir and Thomas played together in a Norwegian prog-rock band called Texaco Stovner. After a short break from music and each-other they came together again in 2001, and it didn't take too long before they also produced music again. And this time it was all about elektronica. In 2006 they started the band Supercraft. Now they had lots of new ideas, and most of all lots of experience. Thomas have invested a lot in music equipment, and ended up building a studio in his own cellar. Now they were no longer depending on renting equipment or places for rehearsals. This meant that they had more time and money to put into their music. It is obvious that Supercraft are following in the tracks of other Norwegian bands like Apoptygma Berzerk, Spektralized, Echo Image and Icon of Coil. Both the music and the lyrics are good, and together with the chorus you often end up whistling their song or singing along after listening to them. Supercraft are also strongly influenced by international bands like Depeche Mode, New Order, VNV Nation, AND ONE and Covenant. It is often said they got a slightly retro sound, a sound that often takes you back to the prime days of synthpop at the 80's.
