History

Hudkreft were formed by vocalist and guitarist Leah Røkke and drummer Stella Oter Lindeberg at a band camp for girls in 2016. [1] During their early years, they released several singles, [2] before signing with Fysisk Format in the spring of 2021; their debut album, Nevemagnet, was released on 17 September 2021. [3]

The band's second album, Osyo by, was released on 15 September 2023, also by Fysisk Format. The album's title alludes to Karsten Alnæs's 1985 novel Øy . [4] In 2024, Osyo by was nominated for the Spellemannprisen for the best rock album; the band criticized the prize for argeeing to a sponsorship with PepsiCo, which due to its ownership of SodaStream was a target of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. The band said they would still attend the award ceremony to draw attention to the issue. [5]
