Santa Cruz STALKERs Fresh Act September 2010 If there is a band these days who takes the music scene of Helsinki by storm, it`s Santa Cruz. After several gigs in their hometown, especially in the last months, they are already now not an insiders` tip anymore. Despite their young age, the quartet owns more 80s Rock attitude than some originals from back then, and at the same time they have a quite realistic way of looking at things. And due to the fact that the hard rockers want to be on top also outside of Helsinki - like it`s sung in their song "We`re Aiming High" - they are currently recording their new EP with producer Joel Attila in the "Studio Bulevardi". There singer and guitar player Archie and bass player Middy took some of their valuable time to answer all of STALKERs questions... >> more/mehr

Scarecrow NWA STALKERs Fresh Act March This band has been in business for 15 years, the Austrians supported e.g. Manowar, Overkill, Nevermore, Labyrinth, Iron Saviour, Edguy, Finntroll, Within Temptation, Týr, Hollenthon, Alestorm & Svartsot on Austrian stages, played at festivals also across home borders (e.g. Metalcamp). Still the guys from Styria have not found a label yet that could pave the way out of the underground.

Scene D` Chryme STALKERs Fresh Act February 2012 Airplay with their first EP "Enter The Prey" on Radio Rock, the first and only Finnish band that played at the legendary "Rest In Sleaze" festival in Sweden`s capital Stockholm and last but not least opening act at the "KISS Expo 2011": The band biography of Wekkie Hart (Vocals), James (Guitar), Elmo (Guitar), Luca (Bass) and Shane (Drums) is impressive, but this is all just the beginning of Scene D` Chryme. Backstage at that expo, the Sleaze rockers from Helsinki revealed during the STALKER interview why groupies had to stay outside that night... >> more/mehr

Secretum STALKERs Fresh Act June 2010 The Oldschool Thrash Revival doesn´t stop short of Berlin either and so Secretum are not only doing something right musically but also topically because with their new album Management sKills the band wants to rain on the parade of all those greedy, for-profit financial bosses. A band with a mission then and if that wasn’t already enough, tequila-drenched live shows. Whether the guys end up in a homeless shelter or on world tour with Slayer as their support, is up to you – so check out the new album! Guitarist double pack Jan and Thomas provide you with the facts. >> more/mehr
