About Band
It is late in the year 2005. After an ill-fortuned start and the abrupt end of
atmospheric metal band Evergrief, Janne Similä and Sami Halminen
decide to try a new approach to music-making. No more poorly motivated
musicians who suffer from the lack of free time!
After a few inspirational pints, Janne Glad joins the blokes at their
rehearsal place, and the musical foundations begin to take shape. A
traditional rock'n'roll story? Perhaps, but what they have to offer
musically shows that the group does not stick to traditions.
Alternative rock, melodic rock? You name it. The band's music
manifests influences from Radiohead and Skid Row alike. A sharp-eared
listener may even catch hints of Katatonia, the Swedish messengers of
atmospheric metal. However, the group does not want to list individual
groups or artists as their influences. After all, what it is all about
is creating music - evaluation may be left to attentive listeners.
Are You Amused? (Promo 2007) has been recorded, mixed and mastered at
Minortone Studio in Oulu by the Ruumensaari brothers. The head
producer and recording engineer was Kalle Ruumensaari, who also
produced the preceding EP, Invisible Me (2006). This time he was
accompanied by assistant producer Ville Ruumensaari, who not only
co-recorded and helped produce the album but is also responsible for
the graphic design, booking and contract issues for the band.
The group are currently looking for a publisher to release their
upcoming full-length album. The material consists of approximately 20
songs, half of which are ready for recording and the rest will be
completed during the autumn. The band's live scene will become more
active in the early autumn, when they plan to play as many live dates
around Finland as possible. The recording is planned to begin in
spring 2008, if the right collaborators for the album's release are
found.
