                                            El Cuero biography

«I was really impressed by your band El Cuero earlier today, I didn’t expect Norwegians to have such a groove.»
 
Is what Jackson Browne was quoted as saying after catching El Cuero’s performance at The Norwegian Wood Festival in 2010.  Jackson Browne is not alone in being impressed by this band, since their emergence on the Norwegian rock scene in 2005 their albums and live performances have gained rave reviews.
El Cuero’s unique blend of rock based on an American brew has been perfected to a T during these years giving them a powerful, melodic and above all bombastic groove.

El Cuero’s new album "Victor's Justice" was released March 8th, this time with producer Cato Salsa Thomassen and engineer Bjarne Stensli behind the steering wheel. Even more rocking than ever, the band is exploring new fields and taking their music to another level. Once again, they received great critics from the national press, and the single "A Deadline In Your Soul" was instantly listed on Norways biggest radio station, NRK P1.

El Cuero was started by two brothers, Håvard & Brynjar Takle Ohr in 2005.
After growing up together sharing bunk beds in the Norwegian town of Kristiansund, listening to music and developing their own musical skills, they finally put the band together that you are listening to today. With Brynjar on guitar and lead vocals, Håvard on drums, Øyvind Blomstrøm on guitar and Tommy Reite on bass, the classic rock combo El Cuero saw the light of day.

Their first outing in 2007 was the self-titled "El Cuero" and gained rave reviews for their blend of powerful Crazy Horse influenced rock, via Steve “Earlish” compositions to beautiful acoustic music with soaring harmonies.
They also quickly gained a reputation for being one of Norway’s best live bands.
Their second outing was called "A Glimmer Of Hope" and was the first album produced by Lars Håvard Haugen. Eden Parke of Uncut magazine summed up El Cuero by saying, They rock like bastards.  A Glimmer of Hope cemented their position as being a favorite among both critics and audiences with excellent reviews.
Their third album "From Mountains To Sand" was again produced by guitar hero Lars Håvard Haugen, hugely successful with his own band Hellbillies and now his own solo album. This album took the band to a new level, reaching 3rd on the national album charts, and touring extensively around Norway.
