Hello Bluesky! We are Payphones, a garage rock trio from Norway. Twang, punk, surf and microphones made from old telephones. Also we like pizza and beer and live music and cats and videogames and people dancing and John Dwyer and those weird noises you get from too many guitar pedals in the chain.
Square photo of three casually dressed people in their thirties in a line, standing close together. They all have a slice of pizza hanging from their mouth. Two men and a woman on the right. All wearing baseball caps. The tallest man in the middle is resting his arms on the other two. The two on the ends have their arms down. Dark harbour background.

Nasty Peel is a manic rock song about trading creativity for money and convincing yourself you feel good about it. Last single before our debut album drops out of the sky in November like an inverted rapture.

Feeling gloomy? A month ago, we played with a shoegaze/post-punk band and a horror surf band. This playlist captures the evening: The Cramps, Messer Chups, Joy Division, Osees, The Sonics, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Molchat Doma, and more.

Music folks and photographers, let’s trade those live action shots that never made it into the press kit. What’s hiding in your archives? #musiciansky #concert
Blurry vertical photo of someone holding and playing an electric a guitar pointing at the ceiling, covering their face. Most of the photo is of the striped wooden ceiling. Guitarist in the lower right corner. The guitarist is wearing a yellow hawaiian shirt. Telephone receiver microphone on a stand to the left. Light blue background behind the guitarist.

Meet The Telebone. Got back into designing this autumn for @payphones.band. Here's the single cover for 'I LOSE MY HEAD.' Worked on creating a style that’s easy to carry across upcoming singles – set up a color scheme, texture, and font template for my photo collages.
Faded yellow square background with a rough, halftone print texture. An old-fashioned telephone receiver is split in two: the top half is the top of the telephone with horns, the bottom half is missing and has a bone protruding from it. Below, a rectangle as wide as the picture features the title 'I LOSE MY HEAD' in the center, written in a retro font with a shadow.

If you are interested in some more Norwegian garage and punk music, we were lucky enough to open this Bergen compilation from Back to Beat Records. 📞💥

Dolly is what happens if you put telecaster parts on an acoustic guitar. She was the original sound of Payphones, but retired from concerts because she can't handle stage lights and sweaty guitarist. #musiciansky

This is a good start but it's not enough. We need to get to a place where 100% of our electeds like alternative rock

Nothing better than a dancing audience real close. The song Hawaii Sicko live november 2023. Just released as a single, slightly tidier. #musicsky #musiciansky #garagepunk #garagerock #originalmusictracks

Hello there, bluesky! Just putting together a fresh set of backup microphones for my band @payphones.band, check out our music if you're curious about what it can do 😎
Colorized picture of a kitchen workbench. Different tools are displayed, such as a soldering iron, knife, pliers and a small saw. An old telephone has been sawed in half and soldered to a jack output.

Oh yeah we should probably share some actual music since we are a band and all. Back in the year 2023 we dropped our first single Mind Control. #musicsky #musiciansky #garagerock

One year since we played Landmark in Bergen, Norway. Only stage footage I've got. Playing on the floor is great fun until people get too drunk. Also, nobody in the back can see. People actually jumped on stage to get to the bar during the concert. @payphones.band #musicsky #musiciansky
