Span were a Norwegian rock band, who self-proclaimed themselves as „Norwegian Turbo-Rock ‘n’ Roll Commandos.“ To date they have sold over 55,000 copies of their album, ‘Mass Distraction’ (released in Feb 2004), world wide. NME described the album as „Excellent breakneck rock ‘n’ roll mayhem.“ They spent most of 2004 touring the UK, Norway and the US in support of said album. In August 2005, Span announced that they are taking a break. It is not known when or if they will return since a news posting on their website stated that the band „no longer share a common dream and ambition“.
Band members:
* Jarle Bernhoft: lead vocals, guitar
* Fridtjof ‘Joff’ Nilsen: guitar, backing vocals
* Kim Nordbæk: bass, backing vocals
* Fredrik Wallumrød: drums, backing vocals
In the Summer of 2002, the band signed to Island Records, recording their debut album at RAK Studios in London with producer Gil Norton. Despite much interest gained from incessant touring and the minor-hit singles ‘Found’ and ‘Don’t Think The Way They Do’, Island held back the album Mass Distraction until 2004, a year after its originally planned release date, and much of the early impetus was lost.
SPAN then tried to establish themselves in the U.S. but were unsuccessful after attempts to sign with Geffen Records and Interscope Records fell through. In fact Interscope had agreed to sign the band after an impressive showcase gig at LA’s Troubadour. However, following roster rationalisation at the label, SPAN were unceremoniously discarded without releasing a note Stateside. Additional tracks were recorded for a planned US version of the album but this never saw the light of day.

lol? Lostprophets and Emo? I listen to them since the made Nu-Metal. Funeral for a Friend is quit the only emo band I'm listening too^^ I don't hate mainstreammusic, not all indeed. But I don't like FF because they to me they seem very unappealing. Btw listening too a certain kind of music does not mean to be part of the scene.

And talk about posers, you listen to Lost Prophets & Funeral For A Friend. :| (I have some emo bands in my list, but only because my little brother has infested my list with them by listening to his music when being logged in on my user account on PC, I'm really trying to get rid of them but it's hard when he's listened to some of them for hundreds of times).

Uh... Franz Ferdinand is a great band, they aren't posers. They are popular, yes, but that's because they make great music that everyone (not just elitist assholes) can enjoy. You seem like one of those elitists that think anything that is popular (with the masses) must also be crap. Franz Ferdinand is a REAL band, unlike some shit like My Chemical Romance etc.
