The First Cut is an indie band from Bergen, Norway. before 2004 the band was called Crash (n).
The First Cut was formed as Crash (n) in 2000 in Bergen, Norway. The band released two 7", one 10" and a CD, toured Europe and Scandinavia once and the UK twice. After Aaron Arjuna Rudra left the band in 2003 the band chose to change name and continued as The First Cut. The band did numerous shows and released a CD in 2006 called "Silence afterwards",[1] but due to different circumstances the band found it hard to carry on with touring and kept a low profile throughout 2005 and 2006.
According to band members The First Cut is currently on a hiatus and it's not certain if the band will play again. Thomas Santuna Larssen plays bass with Datarock,[2] while Kristian Gundersen used to play in the band I.O.U.[3] Arild Eriksen sings and play bass in Bouvet.[4]
