    “I knew very little about these Norwegian kids before I walked into Vera to catch them apart from three different people recommending them in a week. I was blown away. A bunch of brats playing political punk-rock in their native Norwegian language who all looked 16 yet played like they’ve been doing it since they were born.” – Nialler9 (Eurosonic review)
    “Easily our favourite band at Eurosonic 2012. Fast, furious and fiery Norwegian punk rock from a bunch of wild-eyed yahoos who had all the right moves and sterling tunes too. Few will forget their demonic frontman in his blue jumper wielding a cello like a machine-gun in a hurry.” - Jim Carroll, The Irish Times
    “Honningbarna are probably among the best acts to see in the flesh, as their youthful exuberance rarely leaves their shows lacking any punch or vigour.” – Luke Slater, Drowned In Sound
    Honningbarna are a Norwegian punk band with absolute contempt for the establishment, seething lyrics & riffs that kick the floor. Honningbarna take you by scruff of the neck and won’t let you down until you have knelt and received a solid lesson in punk rock! Their live show is a wall of riffs underpinned by the snarling vocals of frontman and cellist Edvard Valberg and were one of the unquestionable highlights of this year's Eurosonic festival leaving any journalist who caught them live reaching for their lexicon.

    Their name translated into English means 'Honey Children'. They debuted in 2010 with the EP Honningbarna. In January 2011 they won a new music competition, Årets Uhørt by the radio station NRK P3 with the song Borgerskapets utakknemlige sønner ("Ungrateful sons of the bourgeoisie"). On the 25th March the same year they released their debut album La alarmane gå (Let the alarms go). It won the rock award for Spellemannprisen 2011.
