Dian is a groovy rock band hailing from the city of Oulu, Northern Finland. Dian was established in 2002 and the band's musical essence can be labeled as 'groove-rock', which consists of rock, grunge, pop and mischeviously funky rhythms. The ambitious aim is to bring a new twist to the basic melancholic rock genre, which is overwhelmingly present in Europe, especially in Scandinavia.
During the seven years career, Dian has released number of demos, mostly recorded by themselves. "Here & Now" promotional single (2008) was recorded with the producer Jonas Olsson, but then again with the "VIP" demo (2009), the band continued working in their own rehearsal studio. The previous demo cds have reached good reviews in several internet zines and music magazines. The second demo won a demo competition at the finnish radio station "YleX", and the fourth demo-ep "Hypofunktion" was chosen as the demo of the month 10/06 in Finnish Inferno magazine. Webzine Noise.fi nominated Dian as a band of the month (9/08) after reviewing the "Here & Now" promo single.
So far Dian has rocked out without the tow from record labels, dwelling in the Finnish rockmusic's modern and underground world, flagging for more organic sounds and wider emotional scales. At the moment the band is finalizing the brand new promotional recording, recorded with the producer Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Apocalyptica, The 69 Eyes). After rehearsing and recording the whole past year, Dian is all stuffed with new energy and can't wait to spread the funky word by playing some shows around Finland.
