FOKKER BIO:
Besides being a famous aeroplane
model Fokker is now also a
band from Helsinki, Finland!

Musically Fokker is circling
somewhere above the edged
terrain of rough rock.
Fueled by a mix of bass, baritone and
regular guitars and shaken
by the constant turbulence of angry
drummin' this plane is really flying low!

Outsiders have compared Fokker
to anything from Danzig to
Chris Isaak and at times it's
not that far from QOTSA either.
So, as you might have already guessed,
the musical content
of Fokker is not restricted to just one or two chords.

But don't you go on believin'
everything you're told, find out yourself!

Fokker's first album "...Has Landed!"
was released at 21st of March 2007.

Including 13 songs/43 minutes of pure Fokk'n'roll:
1. Hole
2. Insider
3. Rope
4. Don't want to know
5. Mess
6. All good things
7. Over and over
8. Feeling that you got
9. Used to be mine
10. One more last time
11. Scapegoat
12. Run
13. Follow

Order your own copy of "...Has Landed!"
