Big Wave Riders is a four piece band from Helsinki, Finland. They started playing together about 5 months ago, but all the members have been making music for a long time now, in different projects. They describe their sound as new wave slash garage slash shoegaze. Their music is inspired by waves, echoes and experimental rhythms with a touch of electronics ("Republic of the Average" is evident of this).
Currently they're unsigned, but there has been discussions with labels. They're planning on releasing an ep soon and by the sounds of the two tracks below, I'd gladly want more.
Members: Teppo (vocals and guitar), Aleksi (bass), Anssi (guitar and keyboard), Pete (drums)
Location: Helsinki, Finland

ReplyDeleteSeems like the Finns may be taking over the post-punk scene. And I like it: http://mrshuffleupagus.blogspot.com/2010/12/first-my-mobile-phone-now-my-ipod-finns.html
