Killing Eliza, who are preparing their debut EP “Pushing Daisies”, are a newcomer to the modern rock scene, made up of professional musicians. The band’s music features mind-bending riffs and pop-driven melodies that create an aggressive and catchy foundation for channeling anger, joy, sadness and love.
Killing Eliza released the first single from their upcoming EP this fall, the song “Under The Gun”, which stylishly combines elements of modern rock and electronic music. They just released their second single, “Sienna”.
“This song deals with feelings such as loneliness, longing and endless longing – the heart cries for another, even though life no longer allows it. Grief clings to objects and memories, offering momentary comfort. At the crossroads of life, when there is more behind than ahead, time gently brings a solution. The door to reunion opens, giving the story a bittersweet and comforting ending,” the band paints.
The song, which was released with a music video, dives deep into the world of longing emotions. The video features modern dance world champion Emilia Rantakari, who also won the Finnish National Championship gold medal in disco dancing last weekend.
Killing Eliza’s members consist of professional musicians whose career paths have earned them fame both in Finland and internationally. Members have been seen in bands such as Kwan, Killer, Sunrise Avenue, Clarkkent, Antti Tuisku, Fireal, ORDER!ORDER! and Modern Day Citizen.
Each member of the band brings their own interpretation of Eliza’s mystery, which varies between rock, metal and pop, with their years of experience. Killing Eliza’s tight and energetic live form ensures that the band quickly carves its way into an unmissable live experience. Heavy rhythms, melodic hooks and vocal performances that defy the forces of nature show that Killing Eliza is here to redefine what modern rock can be.
