About Nordic Music Review

Nordic Music Review was established in 2014 after attending a really lovely gig by Norwegian musician Moddi at the Castle Hotel, Manchester. which also incidentally involved Kalandra. It was also an excuse to write about Major Parkinson, who at that stage were unknown in the UK. 

It just seemed that there was such an enormous wealth of Nordic musicians and bands who didn't get too much attention in the UK, and we wanted to do our bit to help change that.

​

Almost 12 years later the World might be somewhat of a darker place, but we're somehow still here, championing in particular Indie musicians who don't get much exposure in bigger magazines and newspapers. Inevitably our initial aims have changed a little, and whilst we still want to give focus in particular to Albums, we do inevitably cover a lot more single releases too - purely because that allows us to cover so many more artists.    

​

We have tried to support Nordic artists playing in the UK too, firstly by writing about up and coming gigs, but also helping promote and organising gigs. Whilst some were a spectacular success (those who saw Major Parkinson at the Water Rats will never forget it), there were a couple which were more stressful, and as such we will not be putting any more gigs on directly, but are more than happy to help in any way we can - please just drop us an email.
