Vagabond Biography
Norwegian metallic rockers Vagabond were formed in 1993 by vocalist Jorn Lande, guitarist Ronni Le Tekro, bassist Morten Skaget (both of them ex-T.N.T.), keyboardist Dag Stokke, and drummer Steinar Krokstad, going on to release an eponymous debut the following year before dissolving amid widespread indifference. Big in Japan at least, the band's solid if uninventive metal-tinged hard rock carried enough interest to bring about one more album in 1995's A Huge Fan of Life before the band split up. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
