as if anybody will ever read this before its to late for us anyway;

We are recording another album and we have as of July completed drums and bass for eight songs! Happiness.

It will most likely be called `The Reverend` and there will be eight songs. Some of witch we have played live allready such as Fistfights, The eggplant curze, Radio Friendly and Mushrooms and some songs noone has ever heard before such as Swimming in the great below, Arsonism, Nothing but a frame and our first song (i think) with Norwegian lyrics called La kongeriket brenne (going towards a goth). Thats all the songs I guess..

We are going to record it in a lovely place called Cantus Studio in Oslo together with Kristoffer Follestad from Offpist (another friendly Skatepunkquadraped that dabbles with the occational ska-part (Check them out!))

We have also just recently recorded a new version of the ballad from Harlekin at Cantus and Tonehjulet will release it on a compilation with all the bands. www.kraftpest.com for more info at some point!

We will also be making some merch to go with the new record and theres a tour in September! Check back from time to time Skybert!

Etter å ha fullført jobben og alt det der som hører til når man spiller i Bodø kom det en søt jente og intervjuet oss. Trym, Knokk og Pæra svarte og linken over er filmatisering av det hele.

En av de nye sangene våre har en herlig referanse til et fenomen færre og færre har peiling på. Det var derfor god stemning når ikke mindre enn to folk gjorde det klart at de visste hva en `eggplant curze var`..

after fullfilling our duties & the get n goes at the BHCFstage as best we could, a nice girl asked the swingers of axes aka Thrymm, Knokk and Mortem some questions about the evenaan and sych. The link above is her video.

a new song called `the eggplant curze` that has a reference to something fewer and fewer know about within the name actually proved upon being played at this spesific festival that there is indeed hope where there seemably was only darkness. Two people had knowledge about the culture from where we certainly take many an inspirational phrase and that calls for much fun indeed, love! When i get home I will post the relevant pictures. As soon as they are done that is, as I am using those old lovely cameras that arent good atall. I will most likely post all the pictures.

ENDURE!!

Our respective Indie-label Tonehjulet Kräftpest comes now for the first time to my knowledge in a dotcom format

www.kraftpest.com (soon to be fiercly updated)

Allthou it is good to have places like myspace where `everyone`  is, its also important to have your own mythology and folklore. This is as important as making your reality something you can keep up with. We people are easily tempted and It is really easy to find comfort in the art of learning what makes your page popular. Making the music, words, and images and designs uploaded mere means to a sexy and much wieved product of an end instead of the rewarding goals they should be themselves when written, performed or presented .  It is a great thing to decentralize the internet so that when people go online to locate your band or project the search takes you to a more secluded place like a hangout in the barn where the punkband used to rehearse or under the brigde where there are cool flat rocks to sit on, instead of a place like, say, the mall.

Go under the bridge and check out Tonehjulet online!

The politicians caved in and admitted that their ideas against freedom where wrong.. (see post below)

PS: Harlekin was reviewed in a swedish fanzine called ears & eyes magazine.. check out! - www.myspace.com/earsandeyesfanzine

here is the review

Fork - Harlekin
Fork är ett norsk punk band, som har funnits sedan 2006(rätta mig gärna)
Det var längesedan man hörde något från Fork som i mitt minne var ett mycket bra band(såg dem live 2007 på sicket attans röjj)
I alla fall nu har de äntligen släppt en skiva som tog 2 år att få färdig på grund av olika omständigheter.
Det märks att skivan är gjord över en längre tid, iallafall på vissa låtar vilket inte är fel alls, det ger en med feeling att skiva växer under tiden man lyssnar på den.
Men jag är stormförtjust i Harlekin för dess sköna trumkomp/gitarrer/sång och bas
allt passar perfekt och jag blev extra lycklig när jag  upptäckte att de hade gjort re-recording på “thanks” och “my flying carpet”.
Mina två favorit låtar synd bara att “november” inte var med. Skivan tar en igenom 11 st låtar som har ett skönt punk/rockit ljud! med en del gastande i sången som ger musiken det lilla extra!
D-takt sätter de aldrig fel och jag är lycklig att få recensera denna skiva för jag har gått och väntat på den ända sen jag såg dem live för två år sedan! och jag är glad att de inte har ändrat sitt sound
mycket, de har växt, men växt med måtta!

Fork - Harlekin
Får alltså

THATS ALL FOR NOW - The froksz

Soon it may be illegal to speak up against christianity. lets make sure we do it all we can so that shit like this dont get to fly. These people and representatives are stealing our right to free speech and it has nothing to do with anything holy. Nothing about christianity these days does. !!!

THANKS TO HANNA FIZZE FOR MAKING THIS BY THE WAY.. sEE YOU AT MIR!

here is our new page! tomorrow evening between ten and halv past eleven we will enter the dimly lit stage at a venue called Funhouse here in Oslo to play a releaseconcert celebrating our first album Harlekin. It has taken us over two years to get to this point and sitting here at the eve of it makes a nostalgic son of a gun like myself look back trough time and think about the events that have taken place troughout said two years. I remember recording the drums in a studio in Fredrikstad, Østfold called greenroom together with Mads Golden from All Friday and the newly started Kid Icarius in the summer of 2006 and how we started recording KeatonGuitars at Rockehuset in Halden, Østfold before playing some really cool concerts around Norway and Sweden (mostly in Norway). After that we moved to Oslo and all of us got new lives in a way. Per had to stay in Fredrikstad a year due to military service and Antonè who played bass at this point, started to work as a bartender at a nice place called Gloria Flames. After I had worked one or two months as a kinderguardian, me and Keaton started working as constructionworkers at all kinds of forsaken sites trough a place called Losang A/S. If you feel like working your ass of and get payed the same day this is the place to go. I, personally (and I think I speak for Keaton as well) will never set me feet there again..

The year of 2007 was a mediocre year for FORK. We played some concerts and recorded some guitars and some bass from time to time (we were slooow) but also had some things going our way in the form of the song November getting in the finals of the Urørt contest, but in the end losing to Ida Maria. I hear she is doing great today, reaping the profits of her glorious victory. We started working together with Andre Jensen on the cover of Harlekin and changed our rehearsal place on more time. There we recorded most of the guitars and they were pretty much done at this point, not counting blazing guitarsolos and some of the licks im sure you will find on the album. 

Sometime around here Antonè found that he wanted to part ways with the band seing as we all had new things to think about and that it wasnt really the fun it used to be. After some days (maybe a week or two) we had some rehearsals with my brother Oscar and it worked out almost at once. He knew most of the songs in advance and we pretty much decided it worked out when he was out scoring dope for the band. Big brother is now pretty much the band. Antonès last concerts where in Halden and Oslo the day after together with the great bands Smash the statues and Antillectual. I see now that this is four months into 2008 so either im forgetting alot of things or few thing happended with FORK these days besides scattered recordings, concerts and hanging about in Ass-lo. Im guessing both. 

After Oscar joined the band real early this summer and Per Morten finally finding a new nest in this partly crappy town we somehow managed to complete the album. Thanks to extremely kind help from Even Bekkedal who did an amazing job gathering all of the files from all the different sessions, putting them in order and mixing them it also sounds really good. He also does guitarduties for oslobased Post-grind band Manhattan Skyline. Check it out! in this space of time (meaning before the mix) we completed the album by recording some more stuff in Rockehuset, namely Lucifer will fucking kill you even thou you are a christian together with technician Laurits Mosseby ( bass-fucking-magician in GøTTeMiA and Garden) and we also recorded all the vocals and the last of the guitar and bass on the album in Fredrikstad together with Rune at Silvertone. It was hard work that payed of. Besides this there was some patching here and there that was done in some of our appartments and another studio in Oslo together with Johan Heva Larson in AllFriday and Mads Golden. So its safe to say that the mixingpart was a motherfucker. We mastered the whole thing in Sweden at cuttingroom and after Andre Jensen (Kaipai) was done drawing, painting, digitalizing and enhancing the coverart we printed it in Germany I think. It looks great now and tomorrow it will be buyable from us here at Skullstar and also the recordstore Tiger here in Oslo. You can also contact Christer Jensen at Tonehjulet or send a mail to enavalle@gmail.com. We will send it to you.

Using two years recording an album also has its positive sides. We have enough new songs to do an encore and nearly enough stuff for a new album.. So there wont be long before we have even more stuff the torment the ears everyone with. Noone likes punkrock anymore anyway so there wont be no tours waiting for us. We will have loads of time doing nothing here in Oslo as usual. But if any of you would like to see us play in your hometown, livingroom, practiceplace or anywhere else we welcome you to tell us. We dont really need much more than beds, food and something for the road.. And if any band you know needs gigs here in Oslo/Norway/Østfold let us know and we shall try as best we can to make it happen. But first up is tomorrow and I really hope to see you all there. The fiddler is about to hit the fan, and its free!
