Biography

The group initially formed in Kristiansund in 2001 under the name The Beautiful People. The lineup consisted of Jonas Dahl, Arne Kvalvik, Kjetil Ovesen, and Ådne Meisfjord. They later adopted the name 120 Days, inspired by Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom. In 2002, the band moved their base to Oslo. After issuing two EPs through Public Demand, they secured a contract with the Norwegian indie label Smalltown Supersound. Their first full-length album, 120 Days, was released on 10 October 2006 and garnered favorable critiques across North America. Following extensive tours throughout Europe and the United States, they returned to Oslo in 2008 to begin crafting new songs. On 7 June 2012, the band declared their intention to disband by September 2012, marking nearly eleven years of activity.
