Album-oriented rock (abbreviated AOR) is an American FM radio format focusing on album tracks by rock artists. AOR evolved from progressive rock radio in the mid-1970s, using research and formal programming to create an album rock format with greater commercial appeal.
SHARK ISLAND‘s first, indie 1986-87 album ”S’Cool Bus” has been remastered and will be released on CD for the first time with bonus tracks via Deko Entertainment.

While reduced to cult circles, we’re living in a renaissance of the soulful, funky side of West Coast AOR / pop of decades past – think Steely Dan, Michael McDonald and Doobie Brothers. They’ve all been rediscovered by hipsters and other trend-conscious music-fans, slightly ironically named «yacht-rock». However, all too few of them has noticed that one of the worlds best artists of the genre is Norwegian!
