3) Airborne
Alternative Rock

Airborne is a band from Elverum, Norway. The beginning of Airborne started in 2005, when guitarist Tommy, and bassist Thomas, attended school together in Hamar. Tommy brought in Magne, and the three of them played together in Tommy's basement for half a year. When Thomas' other band at the time disbanded, he brought in drummer Vidar, and guitarist Karl from that band, thus making Airborne. With this lineup consisting of a bassist, three guitarists and a drummer they started making music. After some time they found their current vocalist, Miriam, and with that things really started to progress. After a couple of months Karl quit Airborne to work on his band The Blitz Factory, leaving Airborne with it's current lineup. Due to personal interests the band disbanded early in 2008 when Thomas left the band. Tommy, Magne and Miriam formed a new band and named it Enrobria.

In late 2007 they released their first EP, and some it can be found on their myspace.
