Where can we find you right now and what are you up to?

Right now, you can find us in the heart of Raahe, Finland, jamming away in our cozy rehearsal studio. We're crafting some new tunes that we can't wait to share with our fans!

Tell us a bit about your influences.

Our musical influences are as diverse as the Finnish weather! From the melancholic melodies of Sibelius to the electrifying energy of Hanoi Rocks, we draw inspiration from our rich musical heritage. And of course, the timeless rock legends like Elvis Presley and Queen have a special place in our hearts.

How did you start?

Our journey began in the frosty basement of a public building. We were just a group of friends with a shared passion for music and a desire to make some noise. One chilly evening, we picked up our instruments, cranked up the amps, and the rest is history.

What obstacles does an emerging artist have to face in our time?

Being an emerging artist in this digital age can be tough. The biggest obstacle is getting your music heard in the vast sea of content online. But perseverance and a killer live show can break through those barriers!

What worked for you marketing-wise? What advice or tips would you give to new artists?

Marketing-wise, social media has been a game-changer for us. Engaging with our fans on platforms like Instagram and Facebook has helped us build a dedicated fanbase. Our advice to new artists: Always be humble, do what you love and what you believe,  authenticity is key, and don't be afraid to get creative with your online presence!

What are your goals? Where do you see yourself in five years?

In five years, we envision ourselves headlining festivals across Europe and releasing our first studio album. We want to connect with fans from all corners of the globe and keep the spirit of Finnish rock alive!

Tell us about your latest or upcoming release.

Our latest release, "Motorcycle Song," is a sonic journey through the iconic Route 66 from Las Vegas to Memphis, where the Rock N Roll was born. It's a mix of hard-hitting riffs and introspective lyrics that capture the essence of our northern roots. We're stoked for our fans to dive into this musical adventure with us! And stay tuned, because we have some electrifying surprises coming up in our next album!
