Helsinki-based rock band East Electric have released their long-anticipated debut album Road.  Bursting with style, attitude, and energy, the record presents an ambitious blend of grunge-edged intensity and melodic approach inspired by 70’s classic rock. Singles like “Remedy,” “Mothership,” and the title track “Road” gave audiences an early taste of the album’s sound.

“The album truly captures our own voice – it moves between moody lightness and heavy, hard-hitting power. It’s been a long but rewarding journey for us. Most of the recording was done independently in our rehearsal space and home studio”, the band explains.

Road is an album of striking contrasts ranging from delicate melodies to huge, crushing riffs. The band’s unique sound revolves around Jocke Levälampi’s charismatic vocals, while Toni Kajasti’s guitar work flows seamlessly between gritty riffing and sensitive picking. The rhythm section drives the groove with Matti Vähätalo’s progressive bass lines and Tuukka Ilmakari’s dynamic drumming. The band treated their audience with singles like Remedy, Mothership and title track Road.

The album opens with the lead single “Godmaker”, a commanding track whose massive guitars and driving pulse provide the perfect foundation for Levälammi’s powerful vocal performance.

In production, East Electric stayed true to their own creative vision while trusting the finishing touches to a seasoned team: mixing was handled by Robert Palomäki (Kingston Wall, Olavi Uusivirta) and mastering by Jaakko Viitalähde of Virtalähde Mastering. The same duo worked on East Electric’s debut EP, which received international airplay and landed on several Spotify playlists. To date, the band’s songs have accumulated over 200,000 streams on Spotify.

Throughout the year, East Electric has performed at major Finnish events including Espan Lava, Louhela Jam, and Konepaja Festival. This fall, the band will celebrate the release of Road with a series of high-energy club shows at On the Rocks (23.10.), Bar Loose (29.10.), and Semifinal (13.12.) in Helsinki — where the new songs will be performed live for the very first time.

Helsinki-based rock band East Electric is getting closer to releasing their debut album. From the album, which will be released in the fall, has so far been release the singles Mothership, Remedy, Killer On The Run and We Made It. The songs have also attracted attention in foreign music circles, and the songs have already racked up tens of thousands of plays on Spotify alone.

East Electric, who conjure up style-conscious rock, relies on an organic sound and rough riffs painted with a broad brush in their music. Today, the single Road, which perfectly showcases this line, sees the light of day.

“With this song, we drew the atmosphere from broad southern rock. Road spits a message at the listener like the angry older brother of Rival Sons. The song balances minimalism and spontaneity, and relies on the power of strong expressive power,” the band comments.

The band has forged its unique sound with a familiar formula – The recordings were made at Sonic Pump studio, a rehearsal room and a home studio, as with previous releases. The production is the work of the band itself and the mixer has been done by, among others, Robert Palomäki, the man responsible for the soundscapes of Kingston Wall and Olavi Uusivirta.

Known as a great live band, East Eletric has performed at, among others, last summer’s Louhela Jamei, Konepaja Festival and Kvak-Fest. The band’s show can be seen in the near future as follows:

17.5.2025 Ogelin Kyläjuhla, Helsinki
14.6.2025 East Fest – Töölönlahdenpuisto, Helsinki

Finnish band East Electric, which conjures up stylish rock, today releases their new song ‘Killer On The Run’, which is also the third single from the band’s upcoming debut album. The album has so far featured the singles ‘Mothership’ and ‘Remedy’.

“Killer On The Run continues the musical line of the two previous songs, but this time combining a grooving funk rhythm with a furious chase. It features the din of acoustic guitars, multi-layered vocals and grooving percussion. The recordings were made at Sonic Pump studio, a rehearsal room and a home studio, as with previous releases,” the band comments.

In terms of production, East Electric still relies on their own vision, but the final result has been left to Robert Palomäki (Kingston Wall, Olavi Uusivirta) to mix. The band used the same proven formula with their debut EP ‘East Electric’, released a year ago, which received widespread attention on foreign radio stations and Spotify playlists. The EP has already collected 135 thousand plays on Spotify alone.

East Electric combines the raunchy nature of grunge and rock with beautifully catchy melodies and stylish delivery. Singer Jocke Levälampi’s charisma turns the interpretation straight to eleven, creating depth and fire in the lyrics. Toni Kajasti’s guitar takes you on a musical journey, where rough riffs alternate with subtle fingering. The rhythm is kept in check by progressive bassist Matti Vähätalo and the versatile drummer Tuukka Ilmakari.
