oslo. was a European
post-punk band that released recordings on UK
label Scared Hitless in 1999. They were notable for stylizing their name as a terminated
common noun, distinguishing it from other
Oslos such as Spanish band
Oslo from 1984, Italian band
Oslo in 2003, U.S. band
Oslo in 2003, and French duo
Oslo in 2013. The concept is similar to the separated type.object.property hierarchy associations used in
object-oriented programming and appears on the
cover art of album
oslo.DAYLIGHT, designed by "karen.j.robins", and on their
single oslo.skrika. subtitled
skrika...[to scream]. Confusion over the band's name continued for more than a decade at music retailers, cataloguers and auctioneers.
