Limited edition yellow marble colour vinyl.

#54 on The Quietus - Albums of the Year So Far 2026.

"Some albums knock politely before entering your life. Hedonistic Hard Rock by Bong Voyage doesn’t enter the room — it crashes through the wall riding a flaming beer keg while somebody in the background screams “LIVE BONG AND PROSPER” into a broken megaphone. Bong Voyage aren’t interested in reinventing hard rock; they’re here to shotgun the entire history of the ’70s and ’80s directly into your face until the bong water boils over and the neighbors call the cops. This debut from the Oslo party-rock degenerates sounds like KISS, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath and Motörhead fighting over the aux cord at 3AM. And somehow… it absolutely rules.

Featuring members of Håndgemeng, Suncraft and Buskas, Bong Voyage deliver a debut that is gloriously excessive, ridiculously catchy and fully committed to the sacred religion of riffs, booze and bad decisions. From the opening blast of "Saturday Rite Special", the band makes one thing crystal clear: subtlety is dead and buried beneath a mountain of empty beer cans and scorched Marshall amps." - Helge Neumann
