Where In Finland Are You From?

Jyväskylä, Finland

How Would You Describe Your Band For Those Who Don’t Know You?

Jaakko:

We are a hard-working rock band. Our music is always the first thing and everything comes after it. We’re trying to do our own thing and hope that somebody gets a kick out of it.

When Did You Form As A Group?

We formed back in 2006.

What Was The Inspiration For Your Recent Album?

Jaakko:

Musically I think it was mainly the 70′s rock scene and a drive to do things you could say a bit the old-fashioned way. The lyrics I think came from seeing things that you dislike or admire and of course, some songs in the album are about life, love, agony and eternity.

Juho:

We wanted to make music that was somehow raw and more honest compared to today’s general music scene.

What Is Your Favorite Song On Your Most Recent Album?

Juho:

Well, my favorite song has no name at the moment but it’s a song that you would really want to hear. It won’t be released until our album comes out, which we are currently in the process of doing the final touches.

Jaakko:

Somehow all the songs are our babies and I, personally, cannot name a favorite one.

Do You Have Any Gigs Coming Up?

Jaakko:

Now’s the time to concentrate on the album. After that, I think we’ll try to put our live line-up in the line of fire.

What’s Your Favorite Type Of Venue To Play?

Jaakko:

Wherever there are fans to see us. A good rock club is always nice to play in too.

If You Could Play Anywhere In The World This Week, Where Would It Be?

Juho:

Somewhere warm where there is sun and civilization.

Jaakko:

Foo Fighters could take us to warm-up their audiences.

Do You Have A Website, Trig, MySpace, Facebook Etc.?

We have a Trig, MySpace and Facebook page/group

What Are Your Influences As A Band?

Juho:

Everything and anything…it depends on the time, place and situation. We are not one of those bands who are influenced by one particular thing.

Jaakko:

Mysteries and secrets of life seem to influence our music writing. But as Juho said, it varies.

People Who Enjoy Your Music Tend To Like What Other Bands?

Juho:

Well, I don’t really know. We’re a very universal band and I’m sure that people who like our music have very versatile tastes. Our fans seem to vary in ages and backgrounds.

Are You Signed To A Label?

Juho:

Yes, we’re signed to a small Indie label, that’s based in Helsinki, called Comrade Publishing.
