Frontiers Music Srl Announces Signing of
Finnish Hard
Rockers BLOCK BUSTER
Debut Full Length Album To Be Released Late Summer
2019
The Band Is Latest Addition to Label's New Breed Roster
Formed in Kuopio, Finland by brothers Aarni & Jaakko Metsäpelto while
they were still in junior high, Block Buster spent their teenage years honing
their sound and identity. While still in the midst of not being of legal age to
play clubs and instead tearing it up at local backyard and basement parties to
their sixteen - seventeen year old friends, the band suddenly found themselves
being 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 clubs
they are now legally allowed to enter, while also releasing an EP and two
singles which have created a nice buzz in the Finnish rock scene and drew the
interest of Frontiers.
"All of us in Block Buster feel totally energized to have signed a
worldwide deal with one of the truest ROCK labels on the planet, Frontiers
Music. It's taken years of hard work to have built up a great team around the
band and now we have all the right machinery behind us to push us to the next
level. Our first album, "Losing Gravity" will be released on Frontiers worldwide
in 2019 and it is going to be a great year for Block Buster. Please join us on
the next stage of our rock 'n roll journey!"
Inspired by the sounds of classic hard rock pioneers while adding a modern
“retro” approach, Block Buster are ready to break out from their Nordic homeland
on to the world stage.
Line-up:
Aarni Metsäpelto – Lead vocals & Guitar
