The Norwegian band, The New Wine, is made up of four young men from the ages of 19 to 21. They are certainly creating waves both on home soil and abroad with their own brand of pop songs.

Having played in many venues, including the Oya Festival in Oslo, touring Norway and London, Start The Bus in Bristol, Popkomm, Berlin and Eurosonic Festival in Groningen, The Netherlands, The New Wine have also performed many live sets with The Whitest Boy Alive.

'Bridge' is their new single which is a digital only release. This single has a warm and happy go lucky feel about it. It's bright, happy and most importantly it's catchy.

The guitar brings life and soul to this song with some great hooks to get your feet moving to. On top of this the chirpy synths are playful and the uniform beats give the whole track some stability.

The New Wine are young but they bring with this a cool funky vibe which shines through their music. As this single marks the start of a busy round up of 2009, we will certainly be hearing more from this band.
