You can find all their releases on Amazon.com...
It's quite hard to identify similarities with other famous artists... I found a lot of late '70s stuff and some influences coming from musicals shuch as RHPS etc... Quite hard to define, anyway...
You'll love them if you like the mid/late '70s glam rock... And the guy has a very peculiar voice indeed!!!

I love The Ark! :D I have their first album, almost all of the 2nd one and a few various songs on my mp3 player. They are really cool. I thank a girl who posts here occasionally named Claudia for getting me into them. :) When's their 3rd cd come out? What's it called? I love their songs Echo Chamber, It Takes a Fool to Remain Sane, Calleth You, Cometh I and Topsy Kaiser the best! :D
Oh Gosh! Cool, that you have heard of them and that you like them!! I have to tell Ola that next time I meet him...
Yes, the inspiration is much glamrock (wich I love) and musicals (wich I also love!) And the singer, Ola Salo, loves RHPS so of course he has got some influence from it. If you want to know something about them, just ask me, because I know everything, they are my first idols, and now also Queen is. I´ve got everything with them, the cd´s, singles, pictures, the movie "Vi är The Ark" wich means "We are The Ark" who only has came out with 120 ex. You who have heard of them, how did you first hear them? I think it´s intresting for the members to know that Queen-fans from other countries like them, because themselfs are inspired of Queen.
I first heard of them thanks to my friend in Germany named Claudia. She rocks! She told me a bit about them and then copied their first cd (We Are the Ark) for me. I then downloaded the 2nd cd. So, they have a 3rd cd coming out? I'm looking forward to trying to get a copy of it. That's awesome that they are inspired by glam rock, Queen and RHPS. :) The lead singer sounds like Bowie to me on one song. :) ahhh love that band. hehe
Yeas, I also think that Ola sounds a bit like Bowie. The first time I really listened to David Bowie, it was Under pressure. I didn´t care much before that. Stupid me.. Anyway, then I just thought: "oh! Is it Ola who´s singing? No, it can´t be, he´s not born yet." Hihi
