Biography ~ "a voice pitched somewhere between the scorched fury of Courtney Love and the glacial cool of Amy Lee" Classic Rock magazine ~ Citizen Charlie is a rock band based in Oslo, Norway. The band is fronted by lead vocalist Charlie, influenced by some of the more edgy rock performers such as The Hellacopters & Hole. Citizen Charlie oozes attitude & delivers a gnarly, road-tested rock, tinged with punk sensibilities. Charlie started her musical career in a band called Charlie's Drugstore, after originally working the circuit in Atlanta, USA around 1999. She co-wrote all the songs, touring in both Norway & Northern Europe. The band signed to an independent record label but eventually the band members went their separate ways & Charlie decided to work on a solo project. Charlie began writing with long-time producer Arvid Solvang & the resulting self-titled record "Citizen Charlie" was released in 2008. This is what Classic Rock Magazine has to say about this album .... "At a time when credible female rockers operate in the shadows of Lily Allen, a breath of fresh air comes in the form of Citizen Charlie - a raven-haired Norwegian warrior princess whose mission to match the achievements of Led Zeppelin and AC/DC "or die trying" doesn't sound half so ridiculous after you've heard her debut album. With a voice pitched somewhere between the scorched fury of Courtney Love and the glacial cool of Amy Lee, Citizen Charlie clasps the listener's testicles from the riff-raff opener Pulling Out Your Nails - and proceeds to twist them throughout a record that jolts, sneers, clatters and chastises, before drowning in a pool of its own oestrogen. Cover your groin, but be sure to open your ears." (7/10 Reviewed by Henry Yates). Having self-released the album, Charlie looked out for working partners to push her career further & early in 2009 struck a development/management deal with Rocksector Records who instantly saw the potential in the songs & album. Had they been aware of Charlie at an earlier time Rocksector would have no doubt offered to release the record on the label. Rocksector set about organising two UK tours for Charlie in 2009 (February & September), the second of which very clearly building on the early promise of the first & featured Falling Red as main support band. Late in 2010, Charlie re-started writing with Arvid Solvang & a new album is planned for this year, together with a UK tour in late June/early July including a performance at at least one festival. ~ Exhilirating, rasping scratchy songs that ooze confidence & rough-cut, road-tested quality" Powerplay magazine ~
