The Tampere-based band led by singer, songwriter and heartthrob Jonne Aaron headed out to the wilds of Los Angeles to record Neon. The album, all of which was recorded at Broken Wave studios, was produced by studio wizard Jimmy Westerlund, who has a ”rap sheet” as long as a baby's arm from his work in TV and movies. The songwriting, as well as the band, really come into their own on this new album, achieving a new level of epic that previous albums hinted at.
Having played live everywhere from Europe to Japan to Mexico, the band is definitely ready to take the new album out into the world. The new live production is more ambitious than ever and transports the audience into the middle of rain and neon soaked big city back alleys.
