KONZERT // SATELLITE STORIES / YOUNG ROMANCE

The first line to the title track of the bands 3rd studio album “Vagabonds” a name
that sums up how their last 24 months has looked for these guys. Since their indie
breakthrough with the November 2013 release and radio hit “Campfire” the
Scandinavian 4 piece from the northern outpost of Oulu have been on the road
across the continent, “We became Vagabonds going from pillar to post with no real
fixed address” Says lead guitarist Marko Heikkinen. 2014 saw the bands streaming
numbers run into the millions, packing out club shows in a touring year
culminating in their first Festival stage headlining slots, No mean feat for a group
that have always released their material independently, with dedicated release
partners around the world.Between their list of Festival appearances in 2014 the
band decamped to the UK for 2 months to record in the Kentish countryside with
renowned producer Simon “Barny” Barnicott, who had previously worked with
bands like Arctic Monkeys, Temper Trap, Kasabian and Bombay Bicycle Club , to
name just a few. The band now had their producer of choice to release the sound
that the songs had stored away. Living like drifters for the past few years, writing
songs with no strict genre or aesthetic,(Sighting influences from EDM, and Brit Pop
to Trap and Juke) . Sleeping, waking, waiting, meeting people, faces changed daily,
one thing that remained was the dedicated fans coming to the shows which is where
the band truly feel at home, on the stage. Satellite Stories first offering from the new
album is the track entitled “The Trap” Starting with a cacophony of Horns blaring
the call to arms for a relationship tested to its limits when faced with the harsh
reality of losing it all, in an ever controlling society"
