    "A rock'n'roll trio where roots, skateboards and the 21st-century come together." - DJ Bunuel .... What is King Star? .... King Star is a Finnish rock band of three guys in their mid-twenties who have played music together for over ten years. Guitarist-vocalist Bobby Nieminen, drummer Henri Suni and bassist Markus Heiskanen have formed King Star's line-up since 1998. The band's music combines old, traditional rockabilly with today's pop rock melodies. It might be difficult to name a genre for King Star's music, but their sound unveils the trio's own idols: Melrose, The Living End as well as Foo Fighters. However, all three admit Green Day being the biggest innovator for forming the band. Lately the group has also been influenced by the surfing melodies of the best 50's bands..... The band has an established reputation as a knock-out live trio. And it's the spirit of the on-stage performances that the group wants to transfer on tape as well. Bobby writes all the songs, but lyrics and arrangement are something the whole band works on. .... How would you know of them?.... In 2005 King Star made history by being the first demo band ever to make it to Radio YleX's (over 1 million weekly listeners) radio chart. The song "Better Daze" hit the 28th place..... 2008 In Stockholm, the band gave itself to the hands of the acclaimed Swedish producers Ollie Olson and Henrik Edenhed, who took the job after having been impressed by King Star's music. As the studio sessions in Sweden were rocked through even better than expected, both the band and their producer duo got convinced the first King Star album would be a unique experience not only in sound but also in terms of attitude..... .. .. .. ..

How would you know of them?

In 2005 King Star made history by being the first demo band ever to make it to Radio YleX’s (over 1 million weekly listeners) radio chart. The song ”Better Daze” hit the 28th place.

2008 In Stockholm, the band gave itself to the hands of the acclaimed Swedish producers Ollie Olson and Henrik Edenhed, who took the job after having been impressed by King Star’s music. As the studio sessions in Sweden were rocked through even better than expected, both the band and their producer duo got convinced the first King Star album would be a unique experience not only in sound but also in terms of attitude.
