Gerilja
Norwegian alt rock band
Gerilja is an alternative rock band from Oslo, Norway. Their songs are about what they were told in the 1980s to expect of the future, so there is constant allusion to retro sci-fi. Their music uses analogue synthesisers instead of the current trend for all-digital studio production. Their stated musical influences are Megadeth, T-rex and 80's hip hop.
Their image follows the same retro-cool style of their music; bringing together all of the coolest elements of the 80's with the band's modern spin on it.
History
Gerilja supported Mindless Self Indulgence on a European tour in 2008 and were part of a 20-date western European tour with Kvelertak and Årabrot in 2013.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Gerilja” as norwegian alt rock band. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as norwegian alt rock band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q11971898. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008 and 2013.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
