Day Eleven (FIN)


Day Eleven are a 5 piece group from Tampere, Finland who combine an uncompromising attitude with a musically open mind to create a sound truly their own. This band with their roots planted in the '90s' grunge rock scene comes at you with a unique sound containing shades of the energy of punk rock, the harmony from the darker side of pop mixed with a big, in-your-face blast of heavy guitars. ”We try to take in everything we hear, and try to let out everything we can come up with”, the lead singer Janne says. ”We're keeping the creative process as carefree as possible, and that's the only way to come up with music that's original and worthwhile. You can always ponder afterwards what to do with the noise you create... it's not about over-thinking and over-analyzing”, he says. ”We're here just to make a mess and blow your minds...”

Day Eleven have recently completed the recordings for their second album with producer Jens Bogren whose previous projects include the latest albums by Katatonia , Opeth and Disco Ensemble to name but a few. Scheduled for March 14th 2007 release in Finland, the new album Sleepwalkers shows the band going for a leaner, meaner sound. "We're consciuosly trying to strip away the things that get in the way of the songs themselves, not hiding behind a wall of sound but getting right in your face this time", the band says. "After playing dozens of live shows supporting our first record, we finally learned what it means to be a real band, and I think we've found the essence of our music in the process. It's gonna be an honest, heavy rock album with a timeless twist."

The band started more than 10 years ago when the guys were enjoying their teenage years, but the actual starting point for Day Eleven was 2003. A year of 250 days spent recording and studying the sound resulted in a partnership with the independent label GBfam Records Finland . The band´s debut album Almost Over Everything was recorded and mixed over various sessions from March 2004 to March 2005, and has so far been released in Australia, Ukraine and Belarus in addition to Finland.

With the debut single Whenever You Say You Love Me from their upcoming album already getting serious airplay on major Finnish radio stations (such as YleX & Radio Rock) and the new album Sleepwalkers coming out soon, the band is looking forward to taking their show on the road and sharing their honest piece of rock music with you.

Deep Insight (FIN)


Deep Insight was formed in early 2002 by childhood friends Jukka (vocals) and Johannes (guitar). Later on Miska (bass) and Ville (drums) joined the team making it perfect.
The first release, Julia ep was a theme record focused around the life and death of Julia a character created by Jukka and Johannes. It gained many good reviews, most of them praising the young band´s promising song writing and Jukka´s exceptional voice.

In 2003 it started to happen for Deep Insight. The band recorded their debut album Ivory Tower at Soundtrack Studios in Helsinki, Finland and Kaj was replaced by Miska on bass. Miska instantly gave a whole new meaning to the saying “ripping the bass”. The album came out in May and the band started their first ever European tour.

The second album “Red Lights, White Lines” was recorded and mixed in June-July 2004 in Facination Street Studio in Örebro, Sweden (Katatonia, Lambretta etc.) under producers Jens Borgen and Jonas Olsson. The album was mastered at cutting room in Stockholm, Sweden by Thomas Eberger (Bo Kaspers Orkester, Nine, Raised First). Red Lights, White Lines was released in Finland and Italy 2004 and later in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal and Japan 2005. By the summer 2005 the album was sold out and re-released in the same fall with new cover art work.

2006: Miska left the Band and was replaced by Jore.

The third album One Minute Too Late was released in Finland 18.10.2006. Debute single New Day was relesed 20.9.2006 and on it´s second week went straight number 1 on yleX most wanted.

Dope Stars Inc. (ITA)


Dope Stars Inc. are an Italian industrial rock band founded in the spring of 2003 by Victor Love, Darin Yevonde, Grace Khold and Brian Wolfram. They are a fairly recent project that capitalizes on cyberpunk imagery in their songs and appearance.
Dope Stars Inc. was formed on May 8, 2003. The band began with the line-up of vocalist Victor Love, Grace Khold playing synthesizers, bassist Darin Yevonde and guitarist Brian Wolfram. Their idea was to create a "rock 'n' roll band with a gritty, highly seducing blend of punk attitude and industrial sonic attacks". Each part of their name means something. "Dope" represents the doped, synthesized and Prozac-addicted acid that is in their blood. "Stars" represents their Rock 'n' Roll attitudes and "Inc." represents the industrial side to the music.
