Vol. XIII includes 5 bands from Norway. It is a "difficult" sampler, as many people know the great Norwegian band Greenland Whale Fishers and they could expect to find something as good as them. Obviously, that is not so easy.

The first band is a folk-punk band, Belfast Muslims. They come from a town called Halden and are six members. Normally they play well-known songs/tunes and I wish that in their next album they would include some self-penned songs. All their albums can be bought from their website. Just click on "Butikk"
