The group - formed of Esa Mankinen (vocals/guitar), Marko Heikkinen (lead guitar), Jyri Pesonen (Bass/vocals) and Olli-Pekka Ervasti (drums) - have generated a reputation for creating powerful indie pop. 2012 saw the band release their debut album ‘Phrases to Break the Ice’ before touring extensively through Europe. The same year the bands music spread through much of the blogosphere. 2013 album ‘Pine Trails’ lead by single ‘Campfire’, headed straight to No.1 on the Hype Machine, and the band hailing from Oulu, Finland toured extensively around Europe and played big festivals such as Spain´s Arenal Sound.

2014 saw the bands streaming numbers run into the millions, packing out club shows in a touring year culminating in their first Festival stage headlining slots, No mean feat for a group that have always released their material independently, with dedicated release partners around the world. Between their list of Festival appearances in 2014 the band decamped to the UK for 2 months to record in the Kentish countryside with renowned producer Simon “Barny” Barnicott, who had previously worked with bands like Arctic Monkeys, Temper Trap, Kasabian and Bombay Bicycle Club, to name just a few. The band now had their producer of choice to release the sound that the songs had stored away.

Satellite Stories first offering from the forthcoming album is the track entitled “The Trap”. Starting with a cacophony of Horns blaring the call to arms for a relationship tested to its limits when faced with the harsh reality of losing it all, in an ever controlling society"
