According to a press release, AHOLA "has a suitable mix of past and present — which is always an essential part of rock music. The band's musical core consists of hit tunes, feeling and of course the skill to write and play true and powerful rock music, wherein the authenticity and emotion are relevant, leaving the vain posing to others."Commented Ahola: "AHOLA is something I've been working on for a long time. "From the beginning I've written rock songs in English, but since being a musician, you find yourself doing something you did never expect like singing and playing in a huge act called TERÄSBETONI or participating a cool project called NORTHERN KINGS. I guess that's part of the fascination! "Anyway,Steven Adams Thunder Jersey, still riff-based rock being the heart of my musical world,Anthony Davis USA Jersey, I wanted to add some spice to the soup and do something that I wasn't so familiar with: super tightness,Kyrie Irving Cavaliers Swingman Jersey, speed… a flavor of punk rock, you might say."He continued,Russell Westbrook Thunder Jersey, "The way I want to see AHOLA's music is: songs are,Avery Bradley Celtics Swingman Jersey, I dare say, approachable with catchy choruses but when giving the songs a deeper thought, loaded with layers you can dig into. You can hear echoes from classic rock of the '70s,Nicolas Batum Hornets Jersey, alternative rock and metal of the '90s and last decade, pop music in general,Kyle Korver Hawks Swingman Jersey, that punk rock I mentioned and… well, listen to yourselves."AHOLA is:Jari "Jamo" Laitinen: BassJarkko Ahola: Vocals, GuitarAntti Mäkelä: DrumsAntti Karhumaa: GuitarFor more information,Authentic Brook Lopez Nets Jersey, visit the AHOLA Facebook page."Stoneface" audio samples: "Hurricane" audio stream: |
