    Pil&Bue are a fierce duo from the very North of Norway  

    With one of the best vocalists from Norway, Petter Carlsen, on vocals and guitar, and Gøran Johansen slaying the drums, they are an explosion of hard rock.  

    On February 24, 2023 the vigorous and resolute band, that has been touring consistently since the release of their previous albumThe World is a Rabbit Hole, is ready to release even more music, on a new album called Special Agents.  

    With subtle, but pronounced references to artists like Placebo, Deftones, Sigur Rós, Anathema and Mars Volta, Pil&Bue delivers “Hard, gloomy & joyful music...” (Metal Hammer NO) based on topics like memories, childhood aspirations, use of imagination, video games, and the intriguing online rabbit holes.  

    The band´s raw and melodic music quickly struck a note with Hollywood director Tommy Wirkola who included the Pil&Bue single “You Win Again” in his now cult-status movie “Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival January 2014. 

    Also, their single “Fire” from their second album “Forget the Past, Let’s Worry About The Future” is featured on the end credits of Hollywood/Netflix blockbuster “What Happened To Monday” (2017). 

    Pil&Bue released their acclaimed third album The World is a Rabbit Hole in September 2021, an album which got rave reviews:

Lyrics: Some wanna tear the rainbow down and make everything turn to grey in the eye of the storm tonight it comes clear that so much has to change the aim is still so far away and years fly by I have to keep it to keep it together will I ever see a world where love is love no matter what in our time in our lives without chains in our minds In the light of the past events it's easy to look away but despite of these dangerous times let's set aim for what's right, make a change All we hear all the time is be your self No shame in changing your mind, be the change the aim is still so far away and years fly by hope will keep us to keep us together this world would be a broken one a broken home a tragic one without hope in our minds without love in our lives
2.
Lyrics: moments, tiny little moments when everything is in it's perfect place seconds, a tiny row of seconds seconds which our minds will not erase just let go, forget yourself in this marvel where we dwell it happens every now and then that you're the universe itself wonder, overwhelming wonder it journeys with me through the rest of time a circle, live as if it was a circle a repetition which you wouldn't mind just let go, forget yourself in this marvel where we dwell it happens every now and then that you're the universe itself there's no place I'd rather be there's no thing I'd rather do there's no one I'd rather be with and this I won't forget it happens every now and then when you're the universe itself
3.
This world needs you, you're serving as some kind of glue a peaceful protector, a feelgood projector, a joy resonator, a smile that connects everything everything the absence of chains in your eyes in your eyes the absence of chains and all i see is evidence when I look into your eyes I see a special agent Enhancer of reality the absence of chains in your mind here's to all special agents In you I find my kind of Optimus prime a peaceful protector, a feelgood reflector, a joy resonator, an upgraded Optimus prime! Optimus Prime breaking news An upgraded Optimus Prime yeah perceive it the absence of chains and all i see is evidence when I look into your eyes, I see a special agent Enhancer of reality the absence of chains in your mind here's to all special agents

End Credits 02:47
5.
when you wake up, do you stop dreaming? reach out far, just reach for all the things you are, and care for become the one you're born to be free from all dead weight that pulls you down do you stop dreaming? Arrows fly immune to gravity and all these earthly laws that binds us to these prison walls within us when you wake up, do you stop dreaming?
6.
From the edge of the world I want to say I stand by you tonight it might all turn to dirt sometimes there's just too much never ending hurt within the blink of an eye we may be hurled back to chaos once more as we see war closing in soon to be in our streets once again and now the world's changing faster Am I deceived by my eyes? Is this dream or real life? in my mind I refute that hope dies and next morning there'll be, there'll be yet, yet a new, a new world and now the world's changing faster In the blink of an eye we wave our safety goodbye once again once again comes the night and next morning there was, there was yet, yet a new, a new world
7.
Slave or master, is there a choice? This is the only way of life I know Internal warfare, a discord within Have I set myself aside? A conquered being, I have come undone Am I only circling around the sun? curse them all, they're lies and every highlight of living has been thrown away no more avoiding myself, It all ends here and now as my master kills my slave slave or master, there is a choice deceived myself to serve my god a pursuit of nothing, the essence of life? I'm not me, obliviously
8.
never stop never doubt there is nothing you can't live without you're the one you're the soul you're the mindset you are the goal never wave yourself goodbye trust your instincts let them fly
