Biography
From a school band, to a melodic, energetic Finnish rock hornet, Flinch released their new album "Irrallaan" on 9.4.2008. This, the band's second album was produced by Ville's elder brother, Jonne Aaron, best known for his role as the frontman of Negative. The band's debut album "Kuvastin" was released in 2006, and reached number 17 on the official Finnish album chart. The two singles released from the album- "Liikaa" and "Tuulet" reached number 2 and 3 respectively on the single charts.
A complete change of lineup took place during spring 2007, leaving only the band's co-founder and frontman, Ville from the original lineup. Commenting on the split, Ville states that "The original lineup reached a point where there was no other option than to split. The band members wanted to do other things. Despite the change in our lineup, the fans have stayed with us faithfully, and others too have found their way to gigs, and have enjoyed themselves! The feedback so far has been positive."
The origins of the band can be traced back to 2003, when 5 schoolboys from Nokia founded the band. In the beginning, they were constantly accused of trying to emulate Negative’s success, simply because Ville happens to be Jonne Aaron's little brother. Ambitious and hardworking, the new lineup has its own plans and objectives, and the band hope to see new people, hungry for good music, at their gigs, to discover Flinch's happy, gloomy, yet hopeful world. Straying from Ville’s big brother's example, Flinch perform in Finnish, although they share the target audience- good rock music lovers.
Although the future's bright, the stars in the sky illuminate a dark matter, which is that some of the band's ex-members plan to sue for the right to the name Flinch, with some of the former band member claiming that he and Ville decided on the band's name together. The old band members’ disquiet began in January 2008, when "Taivas Tähtiverhoineen" began playing on the radio. The second single from the album is called "1986", and comes from the upcoming album, "Irrallaan", which contains both singles, and a total of 10 great rock songs.
