Rifu is a HC/punk band from Trondheim, Norway. The four members of the group plays a very special style of hardcore, with influences from the 90’s new-school hardcore, but also melodic punk and older rock.

Two of the Rifu members (Øyvind and Ola) have been playing together for about twelve years, and have done loads of gigs in the Trondheim area together with the former bass-player Marius Waatsveen. Stian (drummer of Jimbo Jones) replaced Eskild Næss (now playing in Desperado) as guitarist in 2004, and Erlend have played in the punk-band Cheeky. And just recently STian had to leave us for his band Jimbo Jones and we are proud to now have Bent Inge “Bals” Borgund (also playing in STUK, Gerd Berg and Pekka Volt) with us on the guitar. Before Erlend made his entrance in 2002, Thomas Ryjord (vocalist in Desperado) played the guitar for a couple of years.

The last years have contained eight very good tours in middle Europe (mostly Germany) and quite a few concerts in Trondheim.

Singer and guitarist Øyvind Sarheim writes virtually all the lyrics. We are hoping to be something that either helps people keep up hope, keep up the joy in life, or make them want to struggle for a world where we all take the decicions. It’s a crazy world we live in, and one of the painkillers may be the Revolution rock… The band writes all the musical material.
