Interview To Die For

 

---it´s pure tdf stuff... There is some new elements but i don´t know does people hear it:) maybe those things are just new for us. But anyway... a lot of guitars and rockin´

How did you proceed for the composition ?

---As always first I will do melodies at home, playing guitar or keyboards,then I will show my ideas for guys and they will do their own parts.

Can you tell us more about the recording sessions ?

---We used three studios during recordings. Samu Oittinen recorded our drums,bass and guitars then we recorded other stuff with our producer J-J Nippala in our hometown at sonicimage studios. Personally being at studio is stressful for me! I never wanna spend my days at the studio... but mainly things went ok, and we had a lot of fun too... playing, eating and drinking beer:)

Where did you find inspiration for the lyrics ?

---I always take influences from our lives and that´s where my ideas comes from. Joonas wrote lyrics also by using his great imagination.

Who created the artwork ?

---Vesa Ranta (Sentenced drummer) took all the band photos and did cover art also. We are very satisfied. He is great dude:)

What are your favourite songs out of this new album ? And what makes them so special for you ?

---New heaven is one of the important songs for me. Chorus was wrote when I was 16 years old. Somehow it suddenly came into my mind and I decided to use it in that one. There is also a bit hope in the lyrics as I have in real life too... waiting that someone else will help me to handle this life because it seems that I can´t:)

Can you speak to us about your musical evolution ? For you, what are the biggest differences between this new album and the previous?

---It so hard to say now because I´ve been too close to this newest work now.maybe I could explain better after couple of years. But we don´t try to do anything else but songs we all love to play and hear.

Do you think to release a DVD soon ?

---We would like to but we don´t have any label to release it! We have a lot of material but what can we do?
Seems like labels are afraid to work with us?:)
So many people are asking tdf dvd all the time.

Can you tell us an anecdote which particularly marked the band ?

---Love,loving music, life, having fun, girls and Jack Daniels:)

Can you remember your first gig ? How did it go ?

---First tdf show? It was at Rytmi-Katti at our hometown.
House was full loaded... and second one was at Tavastia which is most famous finnish rock club at Helsinki.

Are there any plans for some gigs ?

---Well:) we are coming to France also in november!
Our european tour starts 11th. On october from Moscow..
15th. On october we start from Hamburg...and we are coming to Lyon also on this tour!
