LÜT – third album released

LÜT started in 2010 as four teenage punks from Kroken: Ørjan, Mads, Sveinung and Marius – playing covers as The Wolves. They quickly moved on to writing original songs, released an EP and somehow ended up on national TV before they were old enough to drink.

Years of side projects, lineup changes and chaotic ambition followed. In 2015, a messy hotel night led to the start of LÜT – louder, catchier, and more focused. Two albums and dozens of major shows later, the band found themselves drifting from the energy that made it all fun in the first place.

In 2022, they scrapped almost everything, took a breather, and started fresh. No pressure, no formulas – just music that felt like them. Written across Tromsø – in bedrooms, rehearsal spaces and on the road, every track found its own voice. Whoever wanted to sing, did.

Just before wrapping up, German punk icon Bela B (Die Ärzte) joined them in Tromsø for a feature that felt both surreal and symbolic – a final piece that completed the circle.

So yes, LÜT is their third album. But it’s the debut for the four original friends who started it all back in 2010. The band just calls it what it is: LÜT.
As they put it in “Smil & Vink”: Æ flykicke Jackie Chan, spelle i rockeband.

BIO

The year is 2014, and the Tromsø-based band that eventually gets the name LÜT sees its inception in hermetically sealed boys’ rooms where hormones and teenage anxiety flowed freely. The result is sharp and distinctive rock, capturing fans from both the underground and the mainstream.

Fast forward to 2024, and LÜT has played at Summer Breeze (DE), Motocultor (FR), Spot Festival (DK), by:Larm, Slottsfjell, Bukta, Malakoff, Trondheim Calling, Vinje Rock, and Tons Of Rock. LÜT has been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Norwegian Grammys (2017) and P3 Gull (2017) awards.
They received praise from Lars Ulrich (Metallica) on his podcast “It’s Electric.”

Their album “Mersmak” from 2021 received a 5/6 rating in Rolling Stone Magazine, leading them to support Germany’s big heroes DIE ÄRZTE on a stadium tour in front of 80,000 people in 2022, and then for Skambankt on their farewell tour in Norway in 2022.

Hello 2025, and a new decade of modern Northern noise.
