Pop metal band Memoremains are looking towards their next full-length album.
The album, which will be released later this year, is the band’s third, and has already released the singles Fighter , Stuck and Toxic Girl . According to the band, the new release Stand Up is a full-blooded party song.
“We actually applied for this year’s UMK with this song – just like the previously released Fighter song. This was our number one choice. UMK will have some great artists again this year, and good luck to them for this year’s show! We’ll have fun in the home stands and be encouraged. UMK is a really cool competition anyway. In recent years, they’ve made some incredibly high-quality video productions and invested in the storytelling of the competition. It’s really appealing – it’s interesting to follow more than just the music,” says Memoremains.
Singer Johanna Ahonen, who wrote the lyrics for the song, hints that the Stand Up single is perfect for weekend get-togethers, for example.
“I think Stand Up is a full-blooded party song as a composition and I also wanted to bring a positive, uplifting vibe to the lyrics. The atmosphere is playful and a bit mischievous, just like that guy who forces you to dance just when you don’t dare to go. Everyone needs a little break sometimes, and Stand Up on a record put together offers a great opportunity for that!”
Memoremains will take to the stage in good company this spring, as the band will be supporting the German band Enemy Inside as follows:
Fri 28.3. Olympia, Tampere
Sat 29.3. On The Rocks, Helsinki
