https://www.instagram.com/ratbreedmetalAmber ShadowsEnkelisäveliä ja demonista karjuntaa! Amber Shadows soittaa modernia alternative rockia grungella, punkilla ja metallilla maustettuna. Omien suomenkielisten biisien teemoissa kuljetaan mielen varjonpuoleisilla reunoilla. Amber kietoo ensin sielusi pikkusormensa ympärille ja repii sen sitten nautinnollisesti riekaleiksi. Amberin läsnäoloa ei voi kuvailla, se pitää kokea!www.facebook.com/ambershadowsrocks

Ilmaisumuotomme on vivahteikas ja hakee inspiraatiota niin pop, grunge, rock, proge kuin hevimusiikistakin. Iskevien riffien johdosta on musiikkiamme kuvattu myös termillä Stadion Rock. Tiemme on alkanut keväällä 2014. Vuoden 2019 alusta bändiin on liittynyt uusi laulaja Julia ja koko bändin ilmaisu on kehittynyt uuteen ilmeikkääseen suuntaan. Nyt on aika nousta lavoille!https://www.instagram.com/mistdescends/

Keran Keidas, the sunny courtyard of Keran Hallit, has been filled with colourful murals and now also features a stage built on old loading docks. On the last week of July, the stage will be taken over by Ursus Factory!
Ursus Factory is a garagerock duo from Helsinki, Finland. It consists of two baby-faced dudes, Jussi and Allu, who’s uncontrollable energy and riffs hit you in the face, while the subject matter sensitively strokes your cheek. Although the wall of noise is aggressive and offensive, the band can be at times openly naive. The songs are usually about the pain of living, but they don’t avoid the self-ironic humor.
The band grasps the audience as a part of a primitive rock-ritual through killer songs, randomness and improvisation. Ursus Factory is more about unrestrained self-expression, exploding and a good party than coolness or other trivial things.
