CYAN KICKS und AUTUMN KINGS

In the organizer's words:

Cyan Kicks' latest album, "I Never Said 4ever", was born out of the 20-year-old's memories of her formative years in Helsinki. Her distinctly autobiographical writing style encapsulates all the honesty, strength, disillusionment, restlessness, dazzling highs and bittersweet lows of someone trying to navigate a new life and what lies ahead. The band's inherent transformative ability to explore vulnerabilities while providing a voice of true strength speaks strongly to the Finns' deep-rooted inner strength and self-confidence.

Since the formation of Cyan Kicks in 2016, Susanna Alexandra and Niila Perkkio (vocals and guitar) together with bassist Leevi Erkkila and drummer Pietari Reijonen have evolved and explored different genres, from the Emma (Finnish Grammy Award) nominated "I Don't Love You" (2019) to the "Not Your Kind" EP (2021) and the current second album "I Never Said 4ever" (2023). Catchy, bright melodies and powerful vocals combine with dreamlike synthesizers, hard riffs and, above all, the power to sing about personal feelings and translate them into the universal. "Dancing With Demons", Cyan Kicks 2024's entry to Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu (Finland's national Eurovision qualifying contest), and the latest release show a much darker and twisted side to their personality, hinting that what follows is unpredictable, but a path worth following.

If Linkin Park and Fall Out Boy made a baby, this would be the kind of powerhouse music that Autumn Kings bring to the table. What started as a chance encounter while working at a grocery store quickly led Jake Diab (guitar/vocals) and Joe Coccimiglio (vocals) to a burning desire to make music for the masses. Since emerging from the depths of Detroit's booming live music scene in 2015, the band has championed the belief that music should transcend genres. Since the release of their debut album "Silver Screens" in 2017, Autumn Kings have been showered with support from their fans at home and abroad. This momentum has only grown as Autumn Kings continue to release new music that is gaining worldwide recognition.

With new music on the horizon and an unwavering commitment to their art, Autumn Kings are poised to take their place among the rock elite. Autumn Kings have shared the stage with Bush, X Ambassadors, Pop Evil, Sublime With Rome, Mutemath, Dorothy and many more. Autumn Kings are homegrown rock 'n' roll that continues to inspire audiences at home and on the road.
