Commandos is the second studio album by Norwegian hard rock band Stage Dolls, released in 1986 through Grappa Music (Norway) and in 1987 through Big Time Records (Europe, North America). The album charted for eleven weeks, peaking at #8 on the Norwegian album charts (VG) and making the band one of the most popular rock groups in Norway at the time. Thanks to the album's U.S. release, the band also gained attention outside of Norway, with the title track gaining considerable airplay on college radio.[citation needed]
