Formed by Kvelertak’s guitarist Maciek Ofstad and two-time Norwegian Grammy winner Bendik Brænne, power pop collective The Needs take influence from Teenage Fanclub and The Replacements.
 
Inspired by days spent on beaches, spending time with loyal dogs and by the adrenaline withdrawal that professional musicians experience between tours, The Needs have crafted the perfect summer soundtrack on their debut album 'Summerbore,' which is out now via Jansen Records.
 
The line-up is completed by Brænne’s older brother and former scientist Mattis, drummer & possessor of the most Norwegian sounding name of all time Nils Jørgen Nilsen, and Knut-Oscar Nymo of punk rockers Oslo Ess.
