Hjerteslag

Heartbeat at Vulkan Arena on January 15, 2027! Since its inception in Bergen's underground scene, Hjerteslag has been one of the country's best and most popular rock bands. With vocalist Robert Eidevik's unmistakable and unique songwriting and lyrical signature, the band has been at the forefront of melodic, noisy, and street-poetic music in Norwegian. In 2026, the band released its sixth album, “We Have Come to Steal Your Children.” The album has received rave reviews, including from Popklikk, which states: “Robert Eidevik is clearly made of star material and possesses an unyielding will to deliver time and again, combined with a unique ability to stumble upon the catchiest melodies and the toughest song titles. On 'We Have Come...' Hjerteslag sounds more Swedish than ever as they let the sound of Nordic post-punk resonate. In a good way.” With the comeback album Tyvens Dagbok and the subsequent tour in the fall of 2022, Hjerteslag reclaimed its 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, where he found himself reflecting far more on life than before and recalling old stories from his upbringing. Like a whirlwind, he wrote song after song, and suddenly another Hjerteslag album was ready in record time. On Betonglandskap from 2024, Robert has constructed a lyrical universe centered around growing up among concrete blocks in a somewhat worn and loud suburb outside of Bergen. The lyrics are based on his own experiences and reflections, but they also tell stories that others can relate to. There is a desire in the songs to give a voice to those on the fringes of society. To the strugglers in the streets, and to the fight against addiction and mental illness. These are stories about finding one’s place alone in the world, trapped in all their uniqueness.
