ROCK CITY!

Published:

The Finnish hard rock band Brother Firetribe are preparing to release their fifth album, which is due in the late spring. Meanwhile, an astonishing taste of what is to come can be heard on a new single single entitled ‘Rock In The City’, which is out on 14th February.
“‘Rock In The City’ is a fierce uptempo mood lifter that anyone working five days a week and running the rat race can relate to. Sometimes you just need to let off steam by hitting the town when Friday comes and just rock your socks off!” explains singer Pekka Heino. “It was really great playing our old songs live last year as we were at the same time writing some new ones. This year is going to be amazing – it’s always exciting to publish new material, let alone hit the stages with the new songs. ‘Rock In The City’ definitely says it all about our energy levels and about how excited we are – just wait and see!”
The new year and the upcoming album has also brought about a line-up change, with guitarist Emppu Vuorinen stepping down due to commitments in his ‘other band’, Nightwish, although not without leaving his mark on the upcoming album.
“Emppu has stepped down from his active role as a guitarist of Brother Firetribe due to lack of time. Simple as that, no drama, no fuss,” continues Heino. “Everyone understands the magnitude of a beast called Nightwish and all of us want to see them go conquer the world. Or two. What a band. With that said, he’s still our brother, stays in the team and you can actually hear him do his magic on the new album too. We got extremely lucky with having Roope Riihijärvi step in and save our asses from doing nothing, which really wasn’t an option. This band is too much fun to stop now. On with the show, feel the burn!”
Roope Riihijärvi is proud to be replacing Vuorinen in Brother Firetribe and is excited about their soon to be announced summer shows, stating: “I’ve been following and loving this band for many years and it’s amazing to be part of something where the mentality is right and the songs are simply terrific! I look forward to everything that’s coming along with this group. See you at the gigs!”
