Sigh and Explode
Sigh and Explode hail from that hotbed of musical talent, Oslo. They're a relatively new band and only have one EP recorded, but have already got a name for themselves in the norwegian hardcore scene and have supported bands like Blood Brothers and the Misfits. They play melodic hardcore with a slight technical edge and sound like AT THE DRIVE-IN HAVING A FIGHT WITH MILLION DEAD. in norway. I recently worked with them at the Great Escape and they sat in the dressing room all day getting hammered on red stripe, then played their gig, smashed a window and fucked off. i quite like them.

Was this at the Barfly? Their show there was FANTASTIC! What a fucking screamo-band, intense!
nah i was workin at their freebutt show later that day, but yeah they played that Cancer Bats show at the Barfly as well innit.
Yeah..They were amazing!!Their singer were amazing!!..and cute...
I thought the singer looked unexperienced, and he seemed a bit dumb in my opinion. The rest of the band was great and real confident though, especially the guitarists, which were fab! The singer did his vocal duties good enough, don`t get me wrong, but it didn`t seem as though he really wanted to be there. I know a few other guys who noticed this as well...I only saw the show at barfly, can`t say nuthin bout the freebut gig...
did they really smash a window? thought bands didn`t smash things nowadays...
inexperienced*
nah...amazing!Think he looked great..whatever..
I`ve seen them a couple of times in Norway, and I can understand what you mean about the inexperienced thing. He doesn`t really connect with the audience, and that can be a bit annoying at times cause the band sounds GREAT live! Only thing pulling them down...Perhaps he suffers from stagefright? I`m guessing he`ll get better at it :)
