H:e:B

They draw on Moroccan musical traditions, and will also appeal to fans of adventurous prog rock, jazz and offbeat electronica. The bass lines are pulsating, Simen Walle's guitar playing is exploratory and distinct – and Hassan El Bouzidi's vocals tie it all together with strong melodic hooks and storytelling. Here and there, accordions, drum machines and electronic textures crash the party – the result is curious, intuitive, with an irresistible outsider appeal.

During Vill Vill Vest in 2024, Bergens Tidende's reviewer wrote that “H:e:B is perhaps the best and most unique prog rock band I have ever heard and seen live”, while the album Demi-volee (part 1) was mentioned as one of the best albums released in 2024 when NRK P2 summarized the year in music. And why not? H:e:B represents some of the most effortless genre mixing found in Norwegian music at the moment. Their concerts are energetic, hypnotic, and refreshing. In 2025, H:e:B is the sound of a band that knows who they are, while constantly finding new paths through the boundless musical landscape.
