Pil & Bue is a two-man band from Finnmark that makes emotional, melodic rock.
They returned in 2021 after a three-year break with two critically acclaimed albums "The World Is A Rabbit Hole" and "Special Agents" (2023), which they followed up with an extensive tour at home and abroad.
After their concert in Buktafestivalen, good words rained down, and Nordlys rolled the dice to 6 and said "The best in Norway comes from Finnmark".
Several of the band's singles have been extensively used in TommyWirkola's film universe, where, among other things, the song "Fire" was given the honor of soundtracking the Hollywood blockbuster "What Happened To Monday".
"...a two-piece vastly more than the sum of their parts, their deeply invested fusion of metal and pop-bordering melodic dynamics is given emotional rocket fuel by Petter Carlsen's unrestrained vocals. Sia fronting Gojira is an approximation, but the result is exhilarating and uncontrived, and resonates on every level"

"Fans of the alternative rock/metal genre will find plenty to appreciate, but even those who enjoy diverse acts such as The Pineapple Thief, Mastodon, and Sigur Rós should not overlook this album."
