About Me

Preesens is a Helsinki-based five piece band that was formed in 1997. The present line-up was completed in 2001 as the fifth member joined in. The band started with progressive rock but has gradually adopted more and more pop influences keeping it, however, alternative throughout. The band is currently gigging on a more or less regular basis, as it has done for several years now, while also recording new songs.
