about
The most refreshingly original married couple in rock music today is here. Anssi 8000 and Maria Stereo live and make music in Sahalahti, which is a small town, even by Finnish standards. Maybe the rural environment has something to do with the timeless qualities in their music. You don't bother with the current hipster trends when you live in the woods. The duo writes basically primitively simple and short rock tunes, but their sense of melody and dynamics are classic. It's about rocking like your ass is on fire, but it's about good songwriting too. There are only two members in the band, but they pull it off by singing, playing guitar, drums, organs and percussions simultaneously. Compared to the contemporary power rock sound, Anssi and Maria are a breath of fresh air. They sound like actual human beings making music together. Their brand of rock'n'roll sounds natural.
