Buster are an up and coming band from the Finnish hard rock scene and one of
the new signings to Frontiers’ New Breed roster. Young, full of energy, and
ready to carry the rock ‘n roll torch into the future, Block Buster are yet
another gem from the robust Nordic hard rock scene. Mainly influenced by rock
music from the 70's and the 80's, the boys' list of influences includes many of
the classic acts of those eras. The best way of describing their music would be
something like this: take AC/DC and Motörhead, spice it up with some Extreme
and Bon Jovi, the rougher side of The Rolling Stones, throw in some hunger and
energy of the rock-torch carriers of the newer generation such as Airbourne and
The Darkness, add a good dose of modern vibe to the mix, put it in a giant
blender and you will have the band’s mind-blowing debut "Losing Gravity”! Enjoy and get ready to be blown away!
Formed
in Kuopio, Finland by brothers Aarni & Jaakko Metsäpelto while they were
still in junior high, Block Buster spent their teenage years developing their
sound and identity. While still in the midst of not being of legal age to play
clubs, and tearing it up at local school parties to their 16-17 year old
friends, the band found themselves chosen to open for Bon Jovi at Helsinki
Olympic Stadium. Since then, Block Buster have been honing their craft playing
gigs at festivals and those very clubs they were previously not legally allowed
to enter. Simultaneiously, they also released an EP and two singles which
created a nice buzz in the Finnish rock scene. Since then, they have shared
stages with Anthrax and Ghost, along with several other Finnish and
international bands.
If you're going to a Block Buster show, you will witness an energetic, loud, sweaty & skull crushing rock 'n' roll spectacle performed by four young men having the best time of their lives.
