Hjerteslag

Hjerteslag at Vulkan Arena on 15 January 2027!

Ever since their beginnings in Bergen’s underground scene, Hjerteslag have been one of the country’s very best and most popular rock bands. With vocalist Robert Eidevik’s unmistakable, distinctive songwriting and lyrical style at their core, the band have helped shape melodic, noisy and street-poetic music in Norwegian.

In 2026, the band released their sixth album, «Vi har kommet for å stjele dine barn». The album has received rave reviews, including from Popklikk, who write: «Robert Eidevik is clearly made of star material and has an indomitable will to deliver time and again, combined with a unique ability to stumble upon the catchiest melodies and the toughest song titles. On «Vi har kommet…», Hjerteslag sound more Swedish than ever, letting Nordic post-punk ring out. In a good way.»

With the comeback album Tyvens Dagbok and the subsequent tour in autumn 2022, Hjerteslag reclaimed their position as one of the country’s leading rock bands. At the same time, frontman Robert Eidevik entered what he describes as a new phase of life, reflecting on life far more than before and revisiting old stories from his childhood. He wrote song after song in a whirlwind, and suddenly another Hjerteslag album was ready, in record time.

On Betonglandskap, released in 2024, Robert built a lyrical world around growing up among concrete apartment blocks in a slightly rundown, noisy suburb outside Bergen. The lyrics draw on his own experiences and reflections, but also tell stories that others can relate to. The songs also express a desire to give a voice to those on the margins of society: people struggling on the streets, and those facing addiction and mental illness. These are stories about finding your place alone in the world, caught up in all your differences.
