LIGHTNING GUSTO is a "One Man Rock & Roll Band" from the northern Norway, inspired by the likes of The Who, Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, Bob Mould, Against Me!, Manic Street Preachers, Foo Fighters and many, many more.

If rock and roll was all about swing and groove, fun and frenzy, beat and boogie, what replaced it seemed to take itself all too seriously. But fear not, there are still those who understand what made the genre work, and the brilliantly named Lightning Gusto is one of them. Sure, his songs are full of incendiary guitar salvos, pounding beats, and big vocals, but, crucially, it also has space, space to let the light in…and not just the light, the groove, the swing, the energy, the bounce… everything you need for that foot-on-the-monitor, fist-in-the-air, heads down, no-nonsense endless boogie experience.

Norway’s Lightning Gusto Redefines Rock with “Good Citizen”. A Unique Fusion of Powerpop, Alternative, Classic, and Modern Rock from Norway’s One-Man Band. In the chill of northern Norway, Lightning Gusto emerges as a force to be reckoned with in the world of rock and roll.

Hailing from the rather unknown Storsteinnes in Norway is the rather new act LIGHTNING GUSTO, and just last month saw him shares his new single, "Good Citizen". What sounds clear to me is that this new act is looking to be more known, as track by track it sounds like he is building up to something big.

Good Citizen by LIGHTNING GUSTO is a sound that I didn’t know I missed so much until I heard it. The Norwegian singer calls himself a one-man rock and roll band, and he does not disappoint.
