About Me


Rock'n'roll, psychedelia, harmonies and high-energy live shows. Kevin's emphasis is in writing great songs, getting a sweat playing live and delivering the message of rock'n'roll music.
Here's what the Finnish press have said about Bad Dream Stone Mystery so far:
"This great-sounding platter rewinds on music's past and searches successfully for a new direction of pop. In the future the guidelines will be drawn by Kevin who know how to rock, make you dance and generate sensations. (5/5)" .. Aamulehti
"Kevin make music like they'd be shaking a caleidoscope. Out of familiar bits and pieces they create original stuff, song after song. Every tune works both on their own and as parts of a whole. (4/5)" .. Rytmi
"The psychedelia of classic rock, glam and powerhouse guitar-playing meet triumphantly on Bad Dream Stone Mystery. (4/5)" .. Helsingin Sanomat
"Kevin have gone to swim in darker and deeper waters but without losing that sparkle in their eye. Bad Dream Stone Mystery is in many ways a step forward on Kevin's career. (4/5)" .. Soundi
"On most songs the impression is not that they repeat the old but that they build on the foundation of it. There are enough ace tunes... the psychedelic epic is at the same time beautiful and hazy. (4/5)" .. Rumba
