Well, we all love 80’s and 90’s rock, grunge and alternative metal. Bands like Alice in Chains and Faith No More etc. are close to our hearts. That was the main reason.

Side project? Hell no! Red Eleven is definitely a real band.

Heh.. Well, let’s just say that it has something to do with getting punched to the nose.

We have composed together earlier as well, so it was a conscious decision to start doing this kind of material.
First we thought that we would just make few songs for our own fun. But then it got out of hand and we ended up with bunch of hit tracks enough for the complete album. We already knew the guys who would fit perfectly to our idea of a band for our music. So it was time to turn the Project Red Eleven to a real ass kicking band.

For our debut album Teemu and I, we wrote all the songs. It might be that in the future others will be taking part to the composing process more.

Jaakko Tarvainen from Secret Entertainment heard some of our material and got interested. It was he who suggested the collaboration. So thanks Jaakko!

We always knew that we were on to something but of course it still took us by surprise.

It was fun like it always is, everything went well. We did most of the recordings by ourselves so we got to do things on our own phase without hurry.

First I had an idea of making a concept album from one main characters point of view. Haha, I almost felt like I knew this guy since I had thought of so many stories through him. Later I gave up the idea of a concept but the album still has some remaining of it so it is kind of a mix of fiction and reality –my thoughts and his.

About the name of the album… Let’s just say that it is our silent protest against the way this society works. Everyone can figure it out by listening to the album and making their own version of it.

"Floating" is a story about a man on his journey to hell to seek for his woman. It is kind of a twisted mix of a bit darker lyrics and Santana-like atmosphere.

It is hard to name my favorites from the album. I have put my soul in each and every one of the songs.

We have already written songs for our second album and cannot wait to get back to the studio. Basicly we are just enjoying this whole thing: spending time on our rehearsal room, playing, making new songs and doing live as much as we can.

Yeah, we have talked about it.. We’ll see.

Well, we are one multi-tasking band: one works with lasers, other with youngsters. One is a sales man and one makes music for a living. I myself am a tattoo artist. Music in its different forms takes most of our time but I and Pasi for example do martial arts.

I don’t believe the musical style is going to chance. Hopefully we will grow as a band and get to do this for as long time as possible.

This one is always a hard one.. Well.. Can’t name one. Just got my copy of a new Alice in Chains album.. Great one!

Sons of Aeon released a debut album in the beginning of the year. Other bands are making new material.

It has its pros and cons.

If you haven’t heard from us before, go and check it out. Peace!
