About Me


"They successfully mix aggressive guitar lines with ambient drones, and can sound both sinewy and fragile at the same time. -- The band has an effortless charisma, and while it appears they are simply following on well-trodden musical paths, the strength and conviction Rubik brings to their strong material eclipse the simplistic comparisons to their more popular musical cousins". (Allmusic.com)

"Making a chilled out indie rock racket, they look the part as much as they sound it. They’ve been heavily tipped by a few parts of the Finnish music industry as the next big exports and on the evidence of this energetic performance, you wouldn’t bet against it". (Drowned In Sound)

"nice little pop songs. far from industry". (the band)
