In 2004 the Helsinki-based rock group the Propellers was signed by
Texicalli Records. The bandÆs debut album ôQuick & Dirtyö is scheduled
for release in the December of 2005. In addition to the promotional
single ôIntroducing Mr.Jonesö, the album also includes a completely
new version of the song ôLove Hateö.
Musically, the defining character of the album is the rare blend of
instantly appealing melody hooks and a guitar-driven contemporary rock
sound. This, in combination with the instantly recognizable vocal
sound and the melodical qualities of the song-writing promises lasting
listening appeal.
Lyrically, the Propellers operates with a wider range than most
contemporary rock bands; with stories from the obscure and hidden
dimensions of life, of love gone wrong, of addiction and exclusion...
but also of innocence and warmth The lyrics seem straightforward at
first glance, but reveal more dimensions and depth as you dig a little
deeper.
From a sonic point of view, the Propellers is clearly a
guitar/bass/drum -driven contemporary rock band. Having stated that,
one of the most striking features of the bandÆs sound is the superb
blending of the basic rock sounds with a wide range of instruments and
other sound sources. The combination creates a straightforward and
easily accessible sound that still has a surprising depth to it.
The Beginning:
The Propellers was formed in 2000 as a collaboration between long-time
friends and musical collaborators Christian Hellman and Niklas Nylund.
They were soon joined by bass player Ville Valovirta and drummer Anssi
Sopanen, and this line-up started to work on the bandÆs first album,
later to be joined by guitarist Janne Halonen.
In 2004 the band changed its name to the Propellers when it was found
out that the original name Blofeld was already taken.
In the spring of 2002 the band (calling itself Blofeld at the time)
released a promotional single called ôLove Hateö. The single was very
well received and got extensive airplay on several Finnish radio
stations. An interesting fact is that ôLove Hateö was the first
unpublished single ever to enter Radio Mafias A-list. It stayed on the
A-list for 4 weeks with 4 more weeks on the B-list.
The band made their live debut in February 2002, opening for Swedish
top act Weeping Willows at Tavastia Club in Helsinki. The gig was
broadcasted live on radio. Guitarist Janne Halonen joined the line-up
in the spring of 2003 when the band was invited by the Swedish Music
Publishers Association to play at Nalen/Alcatraz in Stockholm.
