Blackbird sons is a four-piece from Finland, that plays energetic rock and roll with a hint of classic rock. The band is influenced by AC/DC, The Who, and ZZ Top, which can be characterized by the fist-pumping, riff-driven burst of raw sound that exudes from their music.
" Rock and Roll Ain't Dead" is the first single from the band's upcoming EP, a follow-up to 2017's self-published debut Back In the Game.
The track kicks off with a burst of pure adrenaline as the high-tempo riff instantly gets your head swinging. lead singer Niko Hamalainen enters the fray with a lung-bursting roar that tells you this is a band that likes to enjoy themselves when playing.
The band plays with a closeness that excels in how they play off each other. Bassist Lauri Aaltonen plays in impeccable time like a metronome that dictates the tempo, which culminates in some breakdowns that build towards the hook-laden cries of "Rock N Roll Ain't Dead". The passages of music are simple, enabling the dynamic to remain loud. The drumming abilities of Tatu Lankinen rolls along like a freight train; each strike resonates throughout, whilst the guitar lines of Riku Kananoja combine with lead vocals and bass to produce a joyous combination of heart-pumping rock that results in a mid-tempo trade-off that proves rock and roll is still very much alive with this talented quartet from Finland.
The band's upcoming 5 track EP Rock and Roll ain't Dead is due out in April 2019
