Norway’s Shatoo are back with a new single, ‘Call Me Over’
Shatoo are back with a new single, “Call Me Over”. “Call Me Over” is the first single from the band’s forthcoming album to be released in October. A new single will be out in august and is called “Take This Load Off My Shoulders”.
Shatoo was formed in Halden/Asker in 1987 by Dag Brandth, Calle Marcussen (now Varfjell) and Øyvind Haavik. The boys were only 15-17 years old when they released their debut album “A True Story” and their debut single “Overload” became the first English-language winner at Norsktoppen charting at number 1. The singles “Santorini” and “Dangertown” were also huge hits from their first album.
Shatoo is now back to the original 1987 line-up with all other new members still involved.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
