About Me

The Rollstons were born and bred in Jyv..skyl.., Finland, stretching and banging their limbs aimlessly until the winter of 2002-2003, when they were persuaded by the gentlemen at Stupido Records to put pen to paper in order to sell their souls. Now their first official album has seen the light of day inseminated by their previous musical adventures in the cd-r and vinyl formats. The seeds of Doing Time were sown in autumn 2001, the flowers of Earth against World blossomed the following autumn, and their untitled 7-inch for Rhythm Barrel was cropped during the very same year. This harvest was further recycled for the growing needs of the ever-demanding market.
On April 11, 2003, their grain can fill your stadium, also.
The members of the group drummer Huli, keyboard wizard Panu, basist Kalle, and the guitar slinging brothers Tuomas and Mikko (who is also the lead vocalist, due to his omnipotent tendencies) are probably carrying their instruments and lunch boxes to the nearest train station at this very moment, aiming to dish out their musical products to the hungry and weary masses.
They play short, simple songs but just long enough for one to grow attached to their fine, subtle detail. In front of a live audience, their songs seem even shorter and tend to end prematurely. Hopefully age and experience will improve their performance and bring depth to their new material. Songs such as Taping 3: Sneakers and Sleet and Little Big Thorn are just itching to get inscribed on the hard drive.
The Rollstons are back with their brand new album Song Folks. Jyväskylä-born group moved to Tampere, but musically came back to their roots by releasing a classic lo-fi album.The band describes Song Folks as a soundtrack of everyday life. The album consists of small thoughts, experiments and notions, which are revealed when you start to listen and wonder.
