The Retroheads-project was started in 2003 by Tore after he had been working several years as a commercial music- and sound-producer for radio and TV in Norway. He desperately needed to do something else. Something good and inspiring. Like going back to the roots. Like starting a great new band called Retroheads. From August 2003 - April 2004, Tore had composed and arranged enough music to fill a 60 minute album. After contacting Ann-Kristin, Tommy and Harald, as well as Pål Søvik and Wade Markham on some of the lyrics, the CD was pre-recorded at Tore's homestudio and Tommy's music studio, and mixed by Odd Harald Jensen at Urban Sound studios in Oslo in July 2004. The album was then mastered at Trillium Sound Studios by Richard Addison.
The band now consists of 5 musicians with various musical backgrounds; from jazz, pop and rock to African and world-music. 5 musicians who all share the same vision that music must be made and performed without limits, borders, restrictions or commercial angles.

The Retroheads are no copycats of the past, although the band uses instruments with significant sounds and links to the 70's, like the Hammond B3, Mellotron, ARP, MiniMoog and Taurus bass pedals. They use the latest available technology and VST instruments to emulate the real thing. After all; It's not the way you create music that matters
:It's the way you think!
and since we like the way they thought music back in the 70's, we simply called the band :
