Pushwagnergruppen are here, and they’ve brought more chaos than a malfunctioning espresso machine in a clown factory. Their new single “Oberdada” is the kind of track that kicks down the door to your brain, shouts something incomprehensible in a fabulous outfit, and then leaves you humming the chorus while questioning your grip on reality.
Billed as the world’s only Dada punk band (because of coursethey are), this Norwegian trio isn’t here to play nice. They’re here to disorient, delight, and possibly derail your afternoon. “Oberdada” is a jerky, distorted, absolutely infectious punk art tantrum. It’s got all the charm of a toddler with a megaphone and a PhD in surrealism. And yes—it’s somehow lick-able. Don’t ask. Just feel.
Front-dadaist SURREALISMUS (Geir Magne Staurland) delivers vocals like a man possessed by a German dictionary and a seagull. DA GAMA (Tor-Arne Vikingstad) slaps the bass like it owes him money in a dream logic economy, while TAM-TAM(Per-Åsmund Reymert) beats the drums like he’s trying to summon a wormhole.
“Oberdada” is the opening salvo from their new album DADALAND—a place where sense goes on vacation and noise gets its own throne. If their debut was a rupture, this is a ritual. Loud, proud, and completely unhinged.
In short, “Oberdada” is not just a song. It’s a dadaist battle cry in ripped fishnets, wielding a kazoo and an existential crisis. Play it loud. Confuse your neighbors. Start a movement.
