Biography

The band comprises Jonas Dahl, Arne Kvalvik, Kjetil Ovesen, and Ådne Meisfjord, and was formed in Kristiansund in 2001 under the name The Beautiful People. When they changed their name, they took the new name from the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom. Originally based in Kristiansund, they moved to Oslo in 2002. After two EPs on the Public Demand label, the group signed to the Norwegian independent label Smalltown Supersound.{{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/595994-120-Days |title=120 Days|website=Discogs |access-date=2 April 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150909223932/http://www.discogs.com/artist/595994-120-Days |archive-date=9 September 2015 |url-status=live }} Their first album, 120 Days, was released on 10 October 2006, and had several positive reviews in North American publications.{{cite web|url=http://music.ign.com/articles/749/749210p1.html|title=120 Days - 120 Days|author=Chad Grischow|date=5 December 2006|website=IGN |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070129151727/http://music.ign.com/articles/749/749210p1.html |archive-date=29 January 2007}}
