The gritty Norwegian rock duo, Morudes, describe their music best as psychedelic desert rock, fusing energetic indie-rock with elements of blues and psychedelia echoing Hendrix, Bombino and Mars Volta.
Formed by the brothers Amund Maarud (vocals/guitar) and Henrik Maarud (drums/vocals), who has played together since their early childhood, the duo is granted a special synergy, which is extremely present on stage.
Morudes wants to be the antidote to the “programmed pop music” permeating the media today, by the means of taking three basic musical elements - guitar, drums and vocals - and turn it into a large, organic, and live soundscape.
Sinister Beat (out 21st Oct) is the first full length album from the appraised brothers.
Their live shows have been described as "witnessing two brothers fighting - with sound" wearing matching overalls. Despite their energetic live shows, the debut album is probably a lot more diversed than one would anticipate. “Sure, there are loud, fuzzed out jams and heavy riffing, but there are also quieter songs like «Need Another One» and « A House Where Love Is Gone»”, says Amund.
