Ask Carol

Ask Carol is an alternative indie-rock duo that has emerged from the remote Norwegian mountain community of Auma, ready to shake up the music scene. Don't let the small size of this band fool you - with two guitars, drums, synth, Carol's unique bass and guitar system, and a bit of multitasking, Ask Carol packs a punch with a sound as big as a full band. The music of this high-energy power-duo ranges from fierce and mean to soft and comforting, drawing inspiration from the likes of the Kills, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and the White Stripes, all with a distinct Nordic, melancholic twist.

Ask Carol has already made a name for themselves on the international stage, touring in the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, and Scandinavia, and performing at SXSW several times (2023, 2018). They've also had the privilege of supporting The Brian Jonestown Massacre on tour. In August 2022, they released their highly-anticipated debut album through their own indie label, ChoVan Records, to widespread acclaim from the press, including a 5/6 rating in Dagbladet, one of Norway's largest newspapers. In September 2023 the album was also finally released on Vinyl.

When the pandemic hit and live shows were put on hold, Ask Carol took the opportunity to regroup and reinvent themselves. They used the downtime to create self-produced music videos, merch and live recordings, and emerge from the pandemic with their debut album in hand, ready to take on the world. Despite being isolated in their mountain town, with only a few neighbors and a herd of cows as an audience, Ask Carol has used their solitude to craft a dark, introspective atmosphere that permeates their music and is sure to captivate listeners. Don't miss the chance to experience the unique and powerful sound of Ask Carol live in 2023.
