About Blaupunkt
Blaupunkt was a Norwegian New Wave band that existed between 1978 and 1982. The band was originally founded under the name Ski Patrol, but changed its name to Blaupunkt. The band consisted of Kåre Berntzen and Harald Haakstad (guitar), Bjørn Rølla (bass), Tone Rønning (vocalist) and Ola Snortheim (drums). Snortheim left to focus on De Press, and was replaced by Gunnar Hanslien. In 1981, the self-titled debut album Blaupunkt was released. The band was no match for contemporary bands, but achieved neither the same success nor the same legacy as bands such as Kjøtt, The Aller Værste!, De Press or The Cut. One of very few up and coming ska bands to blend two very different genres; ska and indie. A very emotional and outspoken band that have pledged to always keep their music at the same price: free.
