The Megaphonic Thrift is composed of four Norwegians from Bergen, a rainy scenic city on the west coast of Norway. Joining forces with the collective desire to create a new sonic adventure, Richard Myklebust, Linn Fr�kedal (The Low Frequency in Stereo), Fredrik Vogsborg (Casiokids) and Nj�l Clementsen (The Low Frequency in Stereo) created The Megaphonic Thrift.

The band has been described as a �Master class in sonic terrorism� and a �trashing, sciatica-shock assault on noise rock� by Drowned in Sound, and acclaimed for being �Face-meltingly intense� by NME.

The Megaphonic Thrift is also renowned for their energetic live shows. Pitchfork reviewed one of them: "... they set up a perfectly tuneful song, then carefully unravel it strand by melodic strand-- all in about four minutes. The result is a surge of scribbly, dissonant guitars, propelled by a percussive bass line and drumbeat that punishes the hi-hat and cymbals."

The band has previously performed at at SXSW, CMJ, The Great Escape, PopKomm and Roskilde, as well as several support shows for Dinosaur Jr, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Band of Horses and A Place to Bury Strangers.
