DumDum Boys are a Norwegian rock band from Trondheim, formed in 1979 and originally known as Wannskrækk.[1] The band is one of the most successful Norwegian rock acts of all time, and are considered one of the "big four" bands who popularized modern rock with Norwegian lyrics in the 1980s alongside Jokke & Valentinerne, Raga Rockers and DeLillos.[2][3][4]
