Danish duo FOSSILS set out to create a musical expression, which cuts to the bone. The result is a hard, heavy and complex expression that is based exclusively on bass and drums. The music can be characterized as an intense up-tempo rock, which draws on elements from punk and metal.

In January 2009 FOSSILS recorded nine songs with producer team Q & Kned (Beta Satan, Figurines, The Malpractice and others). These nine songs became the album “Meat Rush,” which was released in November 2010 on Mastermind Records. FOSSILS were one of the Danish runner-up groups for the final nomination for the Nordic Music Prize in 2010. Very impressive for a release that has gone under the mainstream radar.

FOSSILS supported the U.S. artrock outfit Health on the Danish part of the group’s European Tour in November 2010. Denmarks biggest music magazine Gaffa wrote enthusiastically: “It was a pleasure to see how Tornby and Silkjær always knew when they each had to bluster through and when to stop, despite the numerous changes in the music”.

In January 2011 FOSSILS played during the ”Music Aarhus Festival”. The concert was reviewed by Gaffa, and with five out of six stars, the reporter notices: “I found myself standing with my jaw dropped after a concert, which first made me gape, then to forget time and place and finally - after about half an hour found myself craving more.”

In April 2011 FOSSILS was invited to play two concerts at the international festival “Music Mess Reykjavík” in Iceland. Icelandic newspaper The Reykjavík Grapevine attended the show and the reviewer notes: “This concert reminded me why I sought out noise concerts and hardcore shows when I was younger. The connection between performer and audience is unparalleled and rarely exists in other scenes, even ones that have a reputation for intimacy.”

FOSSILS went on a 20-day U.S. tour from May 9 to May 30, having supported Danish punk band Cola Freaks. The two bands have previously toured together in Europe, and this time passed through 15 US states playing 16 shows in row in clubs, bars and festivals around the country.

Over the years FOSSILS have established themselves as a reputable and effective liveact and have over the last two years played with Danish names like Powersolo, Iceage, Kim & the Cinders, De høje Hæle, Thulebasen, Moonless and Cola Freaks, and with international names such as the aforementioned Health (U.S.), Millions (U.S.), Liturgy (U.S.), Deathcrush (NO) and Zu (Ita).
