Gigs all over Europe, being one of the international export hopes in Finland in the 2000s, getting high on Finland’s official album chart and finally losing passion for the band’s musical dream due to setbacks and personal struggles. After all these experiences, Frail is ready to conquer hearts with their stirring American-influenced modern rock and personal descriptions of the pain and unfairness of the average person’s life.

Frail’s singer-songwriter Tarmo‘s closely seen and experienced struggles with addictions and mental health problems, the heavy adversities that came on his way, and the fear of losing his own child to a serious illness brought a chronic feeling of gloom and meaninglessness to his life, which eventually extinguished even the last glow of his passion for music.

For a decade, music was packed in a locked chest and put in a cold attic – even though its healing power was exactly what was needed. Now these moving experiences have been immortalized to help every Average Joe struggling with the same issues in life.

Frail’s new album ‘Stand by Me In the Storm’ presents a collage of relatable stories, which are carried forward by strong and melodically rich compositions and broad vocal harmonies, while modern low-tuned rock monumentally knocks the souls of every listener.

The message of the album is crystallized in the name of the band – life is damn frail.

(new single/video) Polish punk metal band SKØV released video to the new song titled ‘Above The Earth’!

SKØV is a Polish punk metal band from Wrocław, formed in 2017. Someone said that we play like razors, jump like kangaroos and we are murderous, precise whelps who play with fucking anger.

Band have just released video to the new song ‘Above The Earth’

This track was recorded at Nebula Studio (The MateriaGoryczTides From Nebula) in Warsaw (PL) and mixed&mastered by Mateusz Bajan.

Band commentary: ‘The song was inspired by a scandal from a few years ago regarding the discovery of mass graves of children of indigenous people in Canada. Ultimately, we used this theme as a symbol of the many harms that the institution of the church has done to local cultures around the world, taking their identities and destroying their original systems of beliefs and values. The track is the first in a series of singles we plan to release in the coming months.’

(new single) SURPLUS BRINGS THEIR S+ TIER GAME ON NEW HEAVY SINGLE ‘MAKE BELIEVE’ OUT NOW ON ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS!

Photographer: Jaakko Jylhä

Grafting together the rough edges of grunge and neck-cramp grooves of proggy metal, with ‘Make Believe’ Surplus gathers up the last few scraps of human decency and reassembles the shreds into a world beyond recognition, beyond facts. This song encapsulates that unnamed feeling in your belly, that nagging voice in the back of your skull you can’t quite recognize. How do you escape a loop you built your whole world around?
