Crunchy Frog's sharply dressed and until now, nationally treasured
band, Superheroes is out on the pulsating and vigorous label Virgin (Norway Sweden)
– founded by eccentric richboy and balloon fanatic Richard Branson – in
Sweden and Norway. And south of the Danish border they have been picked
up by the cooler than cool indie label PIAS. So you see, they are an international treasure now...
Norway,
Sweden and Benelux have gone on an extreme diet consisting of “Turn Me
On” as appetizer – just to make the mouth ache for some more. As the
main course they all get pampered with the steaming hot and spicy
variety of songs from the album, “Superheroes”. Sweden, in addition to
this, also has a side order with an assortment of mixed Superheroes
hits on a special bonus cd with 10 extra tracks taken from earlier
releases and b-sides. All these Superheroes treats can be digested in
the company of the band when they play in Norway, Sweden and Benelux
