Indie-rock buzz band Ex Norwegian formed in Miami in early 2008 and within less than a year found themselves charting on over one-hundred and forty college radio stations across the US, on the cover of City Link Magazine, and performing to a packed house at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. All based on the release of two singles, Something Unreal and Dance Trance Pants, from their debut full-length album on Dying Van Gogh Records called Standby. The album includes twelve tracks that highlight the band's love of classic power-pop ala T. Rex and The Kinks mixed with modern 80's retro pop such as The Killers -- creating an irresistibly catchy and unique sound that has music lovers, DJs, and critics across the nation raving about this 'amazing new band that came out of nowhere.'
