“Oh, you think I’m in control,” she screams in her single, “Oh My God.” But control is one of the last things this wild and witty punk princess has when she’s in front of the mic. Born and raised in the small Norwegian town of Nesna, Ida Maria Børli Sivertsen, simply known as Ida Maria, gained notoriety when she won two national competitions in 2007. Her music is rowdy and riotous — just like her live shows, where she’s been known to walk away with plenty of battle scars. Rolling Stone’s assessment of her 2009 debut, Fortress Round My Heart, gave a nod to her “spunky singalong choruses” and “caffeinated garage-style rock.” Stand back, this rocker is quite the firecracker.

Appearing seemingly out of nowhere with a batch of superb pop songs full of punk-infused energy and vocals chops that Björk or Polly Jane Harvey would envy, Ida Maria became a sensation in Sweden on the basis of a number of well-reviewed live shows and some truly impressive demos. more at www.allmusic.com

On stage, Ida Maria becomes unhinged, spastically jumping around, sometimes to the point of physical injury (at various shows, she’s cracked her ribs, bloodied her knee and whacked her head on her bandmate’s guitar). And she has crowds singing along to beer-in-hand songs such as “I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked.” more at www.pastemagazine.com
