On The Rise is what melodic rock is all about!
Soaring and immediately hummable melodies, brilliant and catchy choruses, in your face guitars and musicianship par excellence… All the elements of a great song come together magically in their tracks and all of a sudden the new melodic rock sensation is born!
Hailing from Bergen, Norway, On The Rise is a duo formed by Terje Eide (lead & background vocals, guitars) and Bennech Lyngboe (lead & background vocals).
TERJE EIDE first captured the public ear at age 16, as singer, guitarist and songwriter. His musical career began in earnest a year later, through winning a local talent contest. He later enjoyed a stint with the band Heaven & Hell, a rock institution in Bergen in the 80s. I 1986 he won the Norwegian National Rock Championship on national TV with the band The Heat. He started his own band a few years later. Terje has spent the past 9 years exploring various musical genres, as well as playing with local artists as a guitarist, singer and backup singer. This capacity landed him a variety of large-scale shows and concerts, backing acclaimed Norwegian artists.
BENNECH LYNGBOE made an early mark as a singer/songwriter. It all started in 1987. After a few years of honing his talents as a singer, guitarist and songwriter, he tried out ideas with local rock bands, both as a live and a recording artist. In 1995, he released his self-financed singel “Leaves Of Fall”. The entire first edition of 1000 copies sold out in Bergen music stores, and the singel enjoyed 3 weeks on the Hordaland Top Ten. Since then, Bennech has been busy with his own and other's studio work.
The two guys met in early 2001 and started working on some demos which soon raised the interest of Frontiers Records who signed the band in June 2002.
With the help of producer Eirik Gronner, and backed by such musicians as Zsolt Meszaros (on drums); Jan Martin Kleveland (Bass); Asbjorn Vie (Keyboards) plus Roy Bjorge (additional Keyboards) On The Rise created the melodic rock ultimate debut album, boasting influences from the likes of Toto, Nelson and Boston with elements of the typical Scandinavian melodic rock.
Those guys are born to rule the airwaves… check them out before it's too late!!!
