It’s okay to ask for help. No one has done everything on their own. Nowhere To Go is an ode to everyone who has ever had to suck up their pride and do what they had to do to set their course on the right path.

About The Fly Downs:

Ottawa’s own Alternative-rock-infused Pop Punk band, The Fly Downs, have been making waves since October of 2016. A little over a year later they would release their well-received first EP, “Pockets Out”. After a release party and a couple more shows, Alex would join in January of 2018, joining forces with Jesse and Shane to bring a new dynamic to the rhythm section, helping set the stones for the future path of the band.

The Fly Downs have not really been compared to other bands, since their style is something of their own. Inspirations from all 3 bandmates mesh into one solid state and contribute to the overall sound and style. Inspirations include many of the bands they have shared the stage with: This Is A Standoff, Ten Foot Pole, The Human Project, The Mahones, W!nslow, and Down By Law to name a few.

The Fly Downs strive to entertain audiences and fans with a high energy and inclusive performance, often igniting group chants and sing-alongs with the audience. Never compromising catchiness for complexity, their songs are composed with a healthy blend of both. The lyrics often have outward-looking subject matter that many can hopefully find themselves in.

With the recent teaming up with Thousand Island Records and subsequent release of their debut full-length album, “At This Point In Time”, The Fly Downs are eager to hit the road again to share their music and make many more friends along the way.

Turborock band Grillijono K.O. released their last single from the upcoming debut album!

thumbnail_ATT00003

Finnish turborock band Grillijono K.O. released their third single ‘Marinaadien hautaan’  from their upcoming debut album ‘Napalmia korville’ which is released on March 26th 2021 by Secret Entertainment & Inverse Records.

”Marinaadien Hautaan” is one of the oldest Grillijono tracks on the upcoming album ”Napalmia Korville”. “In Finland we have this thing called ”being marinated” which basically means being seriously drunk, a very common habit/phenomenon here in the north throughout the year. So, the song tells about the consequenses of being marinated – what it’s like to end a drinking-bout. It’s a mid tempo rocker with some bluesy nuances and has kept it’s place in our setlist from the very beginning”, Lobo-Tommi explains.

Grillijono K.O. is a four-piece turborock group from Vaasa, Finland. Their sound is a combination of different elements from fast punk rock to black metal and even melodic pop, defined by harsh and powerful vocals by frontman Lobo-Tommi.

The bands first publication, “Nyrkkipyykki EP”, was released in December 2015. The single “Ei oo sun oma vika että oot niin vitun tyhmä” became a small-scale punk rock hit and was noted by Soundi, the biggest music publication in Finland. The song has reached 450000 hits on Spotify alone and rose to the “Finland Viral 50” playlist.

Nyrkkipyykki EP was soon followed by single “Kaljaa pimeässä”, which expanded their sound to a more aggressive and darker territory. Bands such as Kvelertak, The Hellacopters, Gluecifer and Slayer have all had an impact on Grillijono K.O.’s sound as it is today.

Despite the band being only a few years old, they´ve at played at various venues all over Finland, and have gained a reputation as an energetic live band. The band is currently finalizing their debut album, which will be released in early 2021.
