They had already had several | | No. 1 hits in their native Norway. | | | | After the process of having auditions all over Scandinavia they discovered | | vocalist Solli. Soon after their line-up was completed with the Swedish | | guitar-wizard Staffan William-Olsson and Norwegian drummer Geir Digernes. | | | | The band recorded some smoking demos and went straight to L.A. with just | | one single name in their pocket. In just two weeks they had 3 major labels | | interested; MCA, Warner Bros. and Atlantic. The bands next move was to | | have those labels coming to Oslo to see the band live and they decided to | | go with Atlantic. As the band said; "We just had to have that logo on our | | album"!!! This was summer of 1989 and already in November the band found | | themselves recording their eponomously titled debut-album in Cherokee | | Studios in L.A. Kevin Elson produced the album together with Torstein and | | Lars K. | | | | 1990 was a very exciting year for SOA. In February the band finished of | | the album in Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, San Francisco and in April they | | did a video in Paris for the first single, "Cowgirl". This is probably the | | song that most people relate to SOA, it did well in the charts and a lot | | of places on the east coast of America it was even a huge hit. The album | | and the single were released world-wide in May. The album had great | | reviews on both side of the Atlantic, 4 out of 5 in Kerrang! And so on. A | | lot of the reviews stated that SOA together with Electric Boys where the | | prime representatives of Scandinavian funk-metal. | | | | In July the band started their first American tour. The absolute highlight | | of the tour was when they pulled 7000 people as headliners of an | | outdoor-festival in Louisville, Kentucky. At the time both "Cowgirl" and | | "Lonely Rose", the second single, was top 5 at the local radios. | | | | In the fall SOA also toured Scandinavia with Magnum and Germany with | | Steelheart. | | | | Even though "Cowgirl" did well the band wasn’t satisfied with the | | enthusiasm at Atlantic. It seemed they had way to many bands at the time | | and SOA decided they wanted to get out, which they did, in April 1991. | | | | The next year the band was working close with SBK Records and were just | | about to enter the studio for doing their second album when suddenly SBK | | merged with EMI and Chrysalis to the new EMI Music Group. This was a major | | set-back for the band and even though Desmond Child got involved, stating; | | "You’re one of the best bands I ever heard"!, he couldn’t help the band | | getting a new deal. This was obviously right at the time when everyone, as | | Torstein rightly puts it; "jumped onto their shorts to become grunge". SOA | | was unfortunately just to late in doing just that. The band officially | | split in August 1992. | | | | The rest of the nineties went on with Torstein getting heavy into the | | movie-business, directing a couple of award-winning shortmovies, Lars K. | | got heavy into the internet, starting amongst others Freetrax, Staffan | | William-Olsson got heavy into jazz releasing a whole lot of albums which | | brought him a Norwegian Grammy. Solli, the lead-singer, was determined to | | stay on the hardrock-scene and did albums with both Adrian Smith of Iron | | Maiden, Psycho Motel, and Scott Gorham of Thin Lizzy, 21 Guns. | | | | When you enter a new decade it’s often time to look back and think about | | what you achieved the last ten years, so also with the members of Sons of | | Angels. | | | |_ _| _/ __//\ \_ \ /\ / \ / | A M R C _/_.||._(_ | | \\_ /\ _// N E W S | | )_||_( | | | | Unholy shit!
