Automatic Eye was founded in late 2005 when singer/guitarist Pete and bassplayer Heikki decided to take an ambitious step forward in their musical careers. Through former bands and their short mutual project the guys formed a band that could "stop the long road of frustration playing the music in a group that doesn't really inspire you the way it is supposed to."
"It's not like we are both just fanatic beer drinkers and listen to Danko Jones (although we do both). There's this connection between us what is hard to explain in words. We have similar philosophy of life; Maybe that's the reason why there are just the two of us in this band. We dont want to jeopardise this functional combination that we have here."
Talking on the phone nearly every Sunday through year 2005 guys laughed together to their mistakes they made every weekend while partying. "It was hilarious time. You could count on that the other side was also in so bad condition mentally and physically that you didn't have to be so restless about your own mistakes." The bright side of these phonecalls was the fact that the birth of Automatic Eye was in progress. After a while guys started to send each other songs that they had recorded at their crappy home studios.
Common style of music was found easily. "The first song we ever wrote (Away from sunshine) is the corner stone of Automatic Eye: making listeners to feel good. The lyrics in our songs are written from real life because we want to be honest and open to our listeners. At the same time our listeners can relate to us because we want to make different type of songs to different moods that people are going through. We still believe this is what music is all about. Emotions."
Releasing two EP's "January Dilemma" & "All The Classics Are in Black and White", word of mouth has kept growing continuously and it has been a great help for AE by so far. With astonishing amount of downloads from the EP's before a single live show, AE was ready to hit the road.
After touring in Finland, playing shows in Tokyo, Japan, AE signed a record deal with Pyramid/Johanna Kustannus. At the moment Automatic Eye is recording their debut album with producer Jonas Olsson. First single "Away From Sunshine" is released now and the coolest debut album of September 3rd 2008 will hit the stores in...... September 3rd 2008!
