小简介

The (International) Noise Conspiracy 1998年底成立于瑞典。乐队成员全部都成长于瑞典的硬核音乐圈，并经历了90年代的激进的青年运动。乐队在1999年发表了几首单曲，并且开始巡演，很快被瑞典的评论家认为是最狂躁和最强硬的现场表演乐队之一。出于他们的政治意识形态，他们在1999年5月到中国进行了巡演，这也是他们第一次瑞典之外的巡演。同时他们也在香港的Ling Lao唱片公司发行了第一张专辑《First Conspiracy》。

2000年的春天乐队发表了他们的第二张专辑《Survival Sickness》，接下来是一个世界范围内的一次巡演，2000年底乐队第一次到了美国演出，并在2001年进行了更多的美国巡演。

当世界发生着变化而抗议活动越来越愤怒的时候，The (International) Noise Conspiracy继续从世界上普遍的政治思潮里得到灵感。2001年6月乐队在Gothenburg参加了抗议欧盟和布什会谈的运动。并为2万5千名抗议者举行了免费的音乐会，这是政治和音乐能够极好的融合在一起的具体表达。受到抗议浪潮的启发，乐队在2001年录制并发表了《A New Morning, Changing Weather》。这张唱片受到了评论家的好评，《Los Angeles Times》称T(I)NC为“政治上最激进的摇滚乐队”。

在经过一系列的巡演之后，乐队在2002年的Oslo爵士音乐节上录制了一张现场专辑《Live at the Oslo Jazz Festival》，这张现场唱片是由乐队和爵士乐的传奇人物Jonas Kullhammar和Sven Eric Dahlberg共同演奏的。2003年乐队发表了EP唱片《Bigger Cages, Longer Chains》。

当传奇的制作人Rick Rubin注意到The (International) Noise Conspiracy后，他立刻直接联系乐队，并希望和乐队合作。他在2003年和乐队签约，Rick Rubin开始为乐队制作新专辑《Armed Love》。这张唱片已经在2004年的夏天发行，《Armed Love》是The (International) Noise Conspiracy乐队到现在为止的最为重要的作品，也是他们最强有力的一张唱片。类似于70年代硬摇滚风格的朋克摇滚乐，歌词直接来自于内心，并直奔主题而去。此前几乎没有什么乐队能够把优秀的歌词，让人一听难忘的音乐以及像The (International) Noise Conspiracy这样激进的政治观点结合的如此完美，他们将激情和政治融合在高性能的炸药里，并在里面塞进了简单的音乐，巨大的音量，舞蹈，性感，时尚，街头战斗，汗水以及现场，这将会使大多数乐队重新考虑他们做音乐的理由。在《Armed Love》里，乐队第一次在录音唱片里捕捉到了他们现场表演时的那种令人兴奋的颤动。

现在，作为目前全世界最好并最具冲击力的乐队，The (International) Noise Conspiracy继续坚持着他们反对全球化资本主义和新法西斯主义的战斗。妥协的时代已经过去了，The (International) Noise Conspiracy将让你知道我们丢掉的将只是枷锁，并将赢得一个世界。

Having roots in five different bands, the (International) Noise Conspiracy came to exist in the latter portion of 1998 in their hometown of Umeå, Sweden. The group's five members set out to use its music as an attack against capitalist culture at large by taking the universal idea of popular culture and molding the basis of its phenomenon into statements of resistance. As far as the music goes, it's a hybrid of garage rock and soul of the 1960s mixed with the punk of the late 1970s. Since their formation, the quintet has released a handful of 7" records and two full-length albums, which include 1999's The First Conspiracy and 2000's Survival Sickness.

Fascinated by a quote from singer/songwriter Phil Ochs that states "the perfect rock outfit would be a combination of Elvis and Che Guevara," guitarist/vocalist Lars Strömberg and lead vocalist Dennis Lyxzén decided to start a group in the fall of 1998 that would make reality of that statement. Lyxzén had just witnessed the implosion of his hardcore band Refused and was hungry to start anew with a group that would use the music it created as a political vehicle. Strömberg shared the same enthusiasm and immediately co-founded the (International) Noise Conspiracy with his friend Lyxzén. At the time, Strömberg was performing with the Umeå punk band Separation, with whom he still plays. The duo set out to hunt down more members who shared their ideals. They found a bassist in their friend Inge Johansson, who was, and still is, playing with the Umeå art/noise band the Female Anchor of Sade. The final two pieces in the (International) Noise Conspiracy puzzle were found in guitarist/organist Sara Almgren and drummer Ludwig Dahlberg, who were both performing with the political rock band Saidwas. Prior to Saidwas, Almgren had made a name for herself playing guitar with the Umeå metal outfit Doughnuts. With the lineup in place for the (International) Noise Conspiracy, the band stepped into the studio in 1999 to record 12 songs. The tracks were released as a series of five 7" records later that year on four different labels, including the band's own The Black Mask Collective, as well as on Premonition, Car Crash, and Trans Solar Records. The majority of the tracks that comprised these 7"s were presented on the band's first full-length LP, The First Conspiracy, released later that same year on the G-7 Welcoming Committee imprint. The band members also kept busy with side projects throughout the year. Lyxzén released a full-length album, titled Songs in the Key of Resistance and a self-titled 7" record with his band the Lost Patrol. The style and message of the group remained in much the same vein as that of the (International) Noise Conspiracy. Johansson also kept his hands full with his other band the Female Anchor of Sade, which released the 10" Tanks to Everyone. The (International) Noise Conspiracy returned in May 2000 to release their second full-length album Survival Sickness on Burning Heart Records. The band worked out a deal with Orange County, CA-based punk label Epitaph to distribute the album in the United States. First Conspiracy appeared in early 2001, and was met with a mixed reaction due to the heavy political content. Later that year, the Capitalism Stole My Virginity EP was received better due to the growing interest in the Scandanavian rock scene from US garage rock fans. In the spring of 2003, the band released Bigger Cages, Longer Chains, an EP that included several videos and was significantly short on political messages. The soulful, Rick Rubin-produced Armed Love appeared in Europe in 2004, while its American release followed nearly a year later.
