Frontside Rock'n'Roll is the fourth album by the Norwegian rock band BigBang, released in 2002.[1][2][3]
Overview
Frontside Rock'n'Roll is the first full-length Bigbang album to be released outside of Norway. Warner Music Germany would also re-release their previous album Clouds Rolling By in the country.
Øystein Greni wrote the song "Frontside Rock 'n' Roll" as a tribute to two of his skater friends, who had died the same year.[1] Frontside Rock 'n' Roll is also the name of a skateboard trick, a sport which Greni is a former European champion of.[4][5] The song lyrics reference various skateboard tricks.
"Fire & Oil" was co-written with Nikolai Eilertsen and documents the 11th of September 2001 events from the point of view of a kamikaze pilot. "Earphones" is an homage to Ray Charles. "One of a Kind" is dedicated to his friend the Norwegian film director Joachim Trier, while "Mercedes" is dedicated to 'M.E.O.' (Maria Eva Orieta), a performer from Argentina and Greni's then-fiancée.
