Female-led modern rockabilly from Finland. Distinctive strong vocalist with special arctic schlager connection. Backed up by snappy three of experienced cats from Finnish rocking scene. Reckless authenticity meets "big town" rockabilly sound and some vintage pop references.

Warm and strong voiced Maibell is a genuine daughter of Finland's countryside heartland Satakunta ("The 100-county") small town Huittinen - the very historical site of the mythic "Crazy Finn". Finnish schlager & tango biz lured for talented Maibell long ago. But she chose the more rocking path. First with girlwonder barbwire band Periferia and then contest winner beat-schlager group In The Mood. Her soundpersona combination of mysterious appeal & Finnish roots originality will leave nobody cold.
