Petrolbreath is a power trio from East Vantaa, embarking on their journey to the core of rock ‘n’ roll in 2019. The band consists of bassist-vocalist Joni Tammenpää, guitarist Ville Panhelainen, and drummer Tuomas Patanen. Drawing influence from 1980s hard rock and heavy metal bands, the sound of Motörhead in particular echoes strongly in their music.

The track leans on heavy riffing, an organic sound, and an unapologetic attitude — just the way it’s meant to be.

Tallboy is part of a fully analog recording session, captured under the guidance of Anssi Kippo at Astia Studio in February 2025. The track’s gritty and vibrant sound is the result of reel-to-reel tape and handcrafted production — music that breathes.

“Tallboy is a manifesto of confidence. It doesn’t make excuses — it stands on its own and looks you straight in the eye.”
— Petrolbreath

Petrolbreath is a power trio from East Vantaa, embarking on their journey to the core of rock ‘n’ roll in 2019. The band consists of bassist-vocalist Joni Tammenpää, guitarist Ville Panhelainen, and drummer Tuomas Patanen. Drawing influence from 1980s hard rock and heavy metal bands, the sound of Motörhead in particular echoes strongly in their music.

Their previous releases include the heavy-hitting single “Lucifer’s Wings” (2021) and the energetic and well-received EP “Spread Your Wings and Die” (2024).

Petrolbreath recently recorded new material in a fully analog format at Astia Studio, with producer Anssi Kippo at the helm. With these recordings the trio has made a leap towards the raw and authentic sound format that has shaped the soundscape of their own heroes from the eighties as well.

The first track to be released from these sessions is the single “Roadkill”, which paints a picture of a desert highway with its ominous guitar intro. The tempo subtly increases until the song erupts into a fast and thunderous sonic assault; a true Petrolbreath trademark.

Like the aftermath of a car crash after a wild night with an unsatiable woman, the trip is far from over.

“Recording fully analog took us back to the soundscape of our youth – to the rawness and honesty that made us pick up instruments in the first place! Roadkill was the perfect burst of rage to launch us down this path, where we were able to capture that same energy band has playing live!”
