We (not the fantastic drum'n'bass trio) is a
Norway band led by vocalist Thomas Felberg and guitarist Don Dons.
Their music absorbs and recycles elements of progressive-rock, acid-rock and
hard-rock, a blend of Nice, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin updated to
Kyuss' stoner-rock.
They debuted with In A Field OF Moose (Nun, 1994).
The problem with most of their albums is that they try very hard at being
original but at the end they sound derivative of styles and genres a` la mode.
Violently Coloured Sneakers (Voices Of Wonder, 1996) is an intriguing
attempt at innovating heavy-metal
(Heat, Violently Coloured Sneakers, Tribe) and features
a few dreamy pieces.
Wooferwheels (Voices Of Wonder, 1997) is a mediocre continuation,
with the lengthy Sturks Of Khun De Prorok and the driving
In Between The Days.
Livin' The Lore (Voices Of Wonder, 1999) is a puerely rock album
and even more derivative (Red Morning, This Day).

We (non il fantastico trio drum'n'bass) è una band norvegese
guidata dal cantante Thomas Felberg e dal chitarrista Don Dons. La loro musica
assorbe e ricicla elementi di rock progressivo, acid rock e hard rock, una
miscela di The Nice, Pink Floyd e Led Zeppelin aggiornata con lo stoner rock
dei Kyuss. Hanno debuttato con In A Field OF Moose (Nun, 1994). Il problema con
la maggior parte dei loro album è che si sforzano molto di essere originali ma
alla fine sembrano derivati dagli stili e i generi più alla moda. Violently
Colored Sneakers (Voices Of Wonder, 1996) è un intrigante tentativo di
rinnovare l'heavy metal ( Heat, Violently Colored Sneakers , Tribe ) e presenta
alcuni pezzi dream pop. Wooferwheels (Voices Of Wonder, 1997) è una prosieguo
mediocre, con i lunghi Sturks Of Khun De Prorok e la veemente In Between The
Days . Livin 'The Lore (Voices Of Wonder, 1999) è un album puramente rock e
ancora più derivativo ( Red Morning , This Day ).
