Airbag was formed in 2004 by five classmates from Oslo, Norway. The band recorded their first EP, Come On In, the same year, followed by Sounds That I Hear (2006) and Safetree (2008). Although recorded for promotional use, the EPs were offered for free on the band’s website and got over 230.000 downloads within just a few months. The networking payed off and Airbag signed with Norwegian label Karisma Records in early 2009. Since then they have released five studio albums in a prog rock adjacent style that takes cues from the likes of Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Talk Talk and Radiohead.
