At the nightspot ” in Oslo sitting the singer of the band Heartbeat, and looks like a younger version of Joachim Thåstrøm, with a half a beer glass on the table and a green package of roll-your-own in your pocket. “The cheapest on the tax-free’”, he says.

Dagbladet reviewer rolled a four on the dice on the previous album and described the band as Bergen’s own Oslo Ace. After Bylarm in 2014, it was also predicted that the heart beat came to take the Uk by storm.
spent
In addition to gaining credit for the lyrics, also the frontman Eidevik also fengselserfaring on your cv.
It was a joke that went a bit out of control. It was a fyllespøk. We were out on the town and had set us on the boom on the Puddefjordsbroen. We demanded to gain money from the students who would walk past. They gave us the money and ran, ” he says.
the 18-year-old Eidevik was sentenced to samfunnsstraff for robbery and ransforsøk, but did not reach home until the penalty because of a kompistur to Copenhagen.
- I came too late so when it was a prison sentence of three months.
- you Are a tough type?
- no, no way, but to sit in jail in Norway is not as in abroad. It is like a leirskole for criminals and halvkriminelle. But man is sentenced to deprivation of liberty. It’s not fun to sit in jail.
a Lot of life lessons
Young Eidevik says that he needed to race out.
” We were young punks with a lot of anger in us. We let the mind go out of some people, but I have never had the desire to harm anyone.
To be familiar with the criminals in the prison was a valuable experience.
- They are characterized by the rus out in the community, but inside the prison you meet the human being behind the facade with a lot of livssvisdom. There were very many nice people. The environment is not so hard, even if it is criminals that are sitting there, ” he says.
When celledøra was closed behind Eidevik, was it really okay.
I used the time to read the books and took again the subjects I had taken in high school. I needed to chain me. If you don’t manage to get bored in your own company, you have a problem. Then, you can not completely relax.
Unique livsshistorier
your Stay in Ålesund prison was an open prison. Eidevik was allowed to play the guitar and write texts.
- I found definitely inspiration to work with music in the prison. Tekstuniverset shapes itself in the encounter with characters that all have their unique livsshistorie. It inspired to continue and write lyrics, ” he says.
On Hjerteslags previous album “Møhlenpris motel” has Eidevik taken inspiration from their own life. On the new record “Vannmann86″ tells Heartbeat various livsshistorier. It’s all about byggarbeideren and trailersjåføren. The working class is close Eideviks heart.
I’m trying to take the working class of the grain.
Always in love
Some of the songs are still autobiographical. As the song “construction worker Blues”. Eidevik worked even on a construction site in Bergen when he tried to bring order to life after imprisonment.
- It’s about to break up and stop in the safe job to follow the dream. It is a bit autobiographical. I did it myself for betting on the music, ” he says.
Also the other songs on the record be disclosed to be autobiographical.
‘Sonja came and dance with me, we dance till we fly off somewhere..’ sounds one of the description lines in the song “Sonja”.
- it’s all about the love as it always does? switch photographer.
Eidevik smiles.
- Hehe! Yes, it makes the the.
- Who is “Sonja”?
- It is a partly fictional, partly real person. She knows it even. But it is secret.
- Can it be a girlfriend?
- Yes, it may.
