An excitingly fresh and energetic band that started in Bergen, Norway in the Fall of 2002. Syme has been described as explosive kraut-rock, post-rock, electro-rock, balm for stressed souls, psychedelic and beautiful. In a rhythm and bass driven landscape, they play with noise, soft vocals and strong melodies. Their live shows are unafraid.
After winning the Live Bergen Zoom Music Fest in late 2003, 2004 saw the release of their debut EP titled Planetarium. In February 2005 Syme released their first full album Swing Swing on karisma records to great reviews. It was recorded in a live studio setting in the legendary rock club Hulen in Bergen. The electronica artist and acclaimed sound engineer Kjetil “io” Aabø helped record and produce the album. 2006 saw the release of the Modern Love ep. This release included both new material from the band along remixes by amongst others Bjørn Torske and IO. Syme constantly performed live shows, appearing alongside strong accomplished names such as Kings of Convenience, Datarock, The Low Frequency in Stereo and Under Byen (Denmark). In 2005 Syme was invited to play two shows at the Norwegian music industry convention By:Larm.
