Cheeky rock ‘n’ roll and organic sound – Serpico releases first single from upcoming album

Serpico, who holds the flag of Pori rock high, delights fans of organic rock ’n’ roll by announcing their new album! Recorded at Astia studio and produced by Anssi Kipo, Dressed In Flesh is made entirely in analog, respecting tradition. With the new album, Serpico was signed to the American Golden Robot Records, who will be the album’s publisher. The entire album will be available later this year.

However, before the album’s release, there will be a taste of the album with single releases. The Hard as a Cannonball single, released today, opens the game with an explosive vibe.

“The story of the song Hard as a Cannonball is a modern interpretation of the battle between David and Goliath. Today, we could talk about the fight between Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago. The song takes the listener into the middle of the battle, emphasizing its inevitability. You stand tall and fight for your life, because it’s the only way to survive. There is no shelter or escape,” the band says.

“A sense of danger, a brazen rock attitude, genuine and honest playing and singing – these are what Serpico’s new single Hard as a Cannonball is made of. The band has stepped on the turbo gear and delivers a delightful breath of the old alliance. And the song is really confusingly good,” Serpico producer Anssi Kippo comments.

Hard as a Cannonball is released accompanied by a gas-guzzling music video. The video features Finnish Drift Series Pro champion Riku Autere, and the video features authentic race scenes. The video was directed and shot by renowned rock photographer Ville Juurikkala.

“The best thing about this band is their authenticity and desire to throw themselves into doing their own thing 100 percent without caring too much about whether everything is polished to perfection. We need performers like this in today’s world, where both the music business and art in general are starting to be far too calculated and perfectionist,” Juurikkala reflects.

Founded in 2005, Serpico has experienced a lot along the way, including an appearance on the Soittakaa Paranoid program, a custom Harley Davidson that was unveiled during the show, and eventful international tours with Rust ’n’ Rage, Bloody Heels, and Princess. Serpico has also warmed the stage for Finnish greats such as Michael Monroe and The 69 Eyes. The band once ended up performing at a sold-out London club, The Garage, on short notice, where Serpico opened the night with a Geoff Tate celebration gig.
