Mio has created a unique take on folk rock - which they themselves like to call "Folk 'n' Roll". Mio draws rich inspiration from Norwegian rock, punk, and folk music featuring hardanger fiddle with fuzz and a vast arsenal of folk instruments from around the world. The music is hard-hitting without losing balance with its more dynamic sides. Mio explores Norwegian folk music in many innovative ways - through tonality and lyrical pictures. Melodies shine through with a strong folk identity, using teqniques such as vocal- and fiddle trills. The lyrics draw inspiration from timeless images in folk tales, mixed with the sharp-edge and frankness from punk and rock - addressing current themes that navigate between society, politics and human emotions. Mio brings something new to the folk universe with their unique genre fusion. From: https://www.miomusikk.com/about-us
