Animal Alpha, a Norwegian rock band formed in 2002, gained early traction with two demos recorded in 2003 and 2004. The group's breakthrough came in 2005 when they released their self-titled EP Animal Alpha and the album Pheromones. Their success was marked by sold-out shows at Oslo’s John Dee Club, appearances on national television, and positive reviews from magazines. These achievements led to a contract with Racing Junior Records, which supported their subsequent releases. Animal Alpha's second album, You Pay for the Whole Seat, but You'll Only Need the Edge, was released in 2008. The band's song "Bundy" appeared in several video games and films, including EA Games' Burnout Revenge and Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Despite their success, Animal Alpha disbanded on March 12, 2009, citing creative differences during the preparation of their third album.
