Cyan Kicks, the messenger of modern rock from Helsinki, has quickly become one of the most talked about names of the year. Their single “Hurricane” has been a big radio hits in early 2022. With the song, the band also participated in the UMK competition, becoming one of the early favorites of the entire competition. Now the band is touring and working on a new album. We had the chance to meet singer Susanna after their show at Rock in the City in Pori and talk about their upcoming album, tours, outfits and much more.

Rock in the city, Pori(Finland)
Rock In The City tour was supposed to take place to several Finnish cities during the summer of 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was possible to organize the festival in only two cities; Joensuu and Pori.
We were present with our cameras in Pori on August 21st and 22nd.
The event was held at Kirjurinluoto, a park on an island in the center of the city already known for important music events such as Pori Jazz and Porispere, the age limit was 18, allowing alcohol to be consumed throughout the area. The organization did a great job of maintaining state-imposed restrictions, hand sanitizers were everywhere, there was enough room to keep distance, and security men were always on when needed.
Talking about music, the festival features only Finnish rock and metal bands, this year in Pori performed Amorphis, Battle Beast, Beast in Black, Andy McCoy, Michael Monroe, Sami Yaffa & Costello, Brother Firetribe, Stam1na, Mokoma, Turmion Kätilöt, Viikate, Kotiteollisuus and Klamydia.
