InfluencesIt's not who influenced you that matters but how you interpret those influences. The bandmembers of Finn & the Sharks have a wide variety of musical interests too vast to list here. American roots music, whether it be rockabilly, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, gospel or soul is what fueled the best rock'n'roll in every era; from Bluebird, Okeh, Ace, Sun, Chess, Stax and Motown to all the indies of every decade. It started here in the USA and got recycled in the UK and now it's everywhere. You can call it what you wanta ...

   About Finn & the Sharks
Hey! My name is Billy Roues and I'm the lead guitarist for Finn & the Sharks. This site represents my take on the band and shouldn't be confused as being representative of what all my bandmates would like the world to see. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The profile photo is by Dyana Van Campen © 2006. ................................... About the songs featured here: 1. Wheels Start Turning. This is the original 8 track recording from 1981 featured on the 4 song vinyl EP we released that summer on Rebel Records. There were only 1500 of em so they are collector's items. I've seen them go for $70 at record shows and that was 10 years ago. The one on Shark Therapy was recorded at Power Station and released on HME (John Hammond's label) in 1985 as a single w/ picture sleeve. 2. At The Crossroads. Studio version of the same song featured on Shark Therapy (live at CBGB's). The live version was the B-side to Wheels on the HME single. 3.Bopper's Palace. Previously unreleased and recorded in 1982 at Nyack Sound. 4. Rhythm'n'Ruin. Recorded in 1983 at Nyack Sound and also unreleased before this space. ............................................................................................................ Shark Therapy is available at www.cdbaby.com/finnsharks (just click on the CD cover on this page and it will take you there.) Our new CD, Built To Last, is available at www.cdbaby.com/finnsharks3. It has already garnered some great reviews from online radio DJ's and in print. ............................................................................................................. Biographically speaking; We got together in the late 70's merging punk and rockabilly and it just blossomed from there. We reunited as a quartet in October 2004 and began writing new material while releasing some of the stuff that has never been on CD before from the old days. You can sample that material at the cdbaby sites mentioned above. .............................................................................................................. The songs available here are not available anywhere else as of yet. I hope to rotate the selection as time goes by. Please let me know what you think. My top friends are sites that feature the music and history of some of the greats and some obscure artists that influenced me and my mates.

Today I would like to let you know about two print magazines in Germany I'm writing for.

"Living Line Dance", reporting about line dance and country music, and "Folk Magazine", reporting about folk and country music. The magazines are high respected in Europe. They offer you a good chance to publicize yourself in Europe and Germany.

For more information, please contact me at MySpace or send email to Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de with the headline "Advertise at Living Line Dance and Folk Magazine".

Warm regards

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks

Christian
