It´s interesting how Apulanta has changed from small punkband to one of the biggest bands in Finland. Trios with leadsinger also being guitarist are always hard to shoot as the frontman is kind of chained to the micstand. I try to wait for the moments when the leadsinger takes a few steps back from the micstand between verses. This way the composition is more balanced and lot of the times more interesting.
The Blanko was the warm up act for Apulanta in Pakkahuone on first of april. This littleknown energetic trio reminded me a lot of Muse and such bands with big guitar walls.
