FastLoaders

Amiga Rocks Harder - Release Show

FastLoaders is a progressive rock and metal band from Bergen, Norway, best known for creating modernized, guitar-driven arrangements of classic Commodore 64 and Amiga chiptune video game music.

The band was founded by guitarist Jarle H. Olsen, alongside keyboardist Kjetil Nossum and drummer Bjarte K. Helland. They specialize in taking 8-bit and 16-bit soundtracks originally composed by legendary computer game musicians and fully restructuring them into high-energy rock classics. Their arrangements are complex yet remain structurally faithful to the originals.

Since they appeared live for the very first time at Back in Time Brighton 2015, they have been heavily active in the retro-gaming subculture, frequently headlining events like the Back in Time LIVE festivals. They are also known for performing alongside the original composers themselves, sharing the stage for historic live sets with both Ben Daglish, Rob Hubbard and Chris Huelsbeck amongst others.

Their extensive discography consists of; "Ninja Musicology (2015)", "Ninja Musicology - Live from the Dungeons (2016)" Blu-ray, "Amiga Rocks (2020)", "C64 Rocks (2023)" and "Amiga Rocks Harder (2026).
