The Blitz Factory is a rock band from Tynset/Elverum, in the country of Hedmark, Norway. The band consists of Emil Andreas Engh (vocals and guitar), Karl André Sagerud (guitar), Odd Asgeir Skogstad (bass) and Jon Even Schärer (drums and backing vocals). The four members started their musical journeys together in the Autumn of 2006. Emil started writing songs some years ago now, and has played together with Karl in several bands before they met up with Odd Asgeir and Jon Even to start The Blitz Factory. The band..s music is an explosive blend of indie and hardrock, not to be belived if not heard! The Blitz Factory is a band heading for the big scene, specially after the well-received release of their debut album, Sunday Morning, available for purchase from the band (http://theblitzfactory.net/blitzstore/process.php?pname=ShopfrontProcess-Start) or in selected music stores. In the autumn of 2008 the band went on their first foreign tour to China. For the last few months the band has been in studio, recording their second album. Releasedate is still not set, but will be sometime during the summer of 2010. In the meantime you can soon check out a preview from the album here on myspace.
