Dumdum Boys

Named after an Iggy Pop song, Norway's DumDum Boys began in the '70s as the punk band Wannskraekk in their hometown of Trondheim. It wasn't until around 1985 that they adopted the Pop-inspired moniker as well as a more traditional rock sound. The band's 1988 debut album, Blodig Alvor (Na Na Na Na Na), is considered by many to be a landmark of Norwegian rock. Since that time, DumDum Boys have released a number of albums and continue to perform. ~ Matt Collar
