Frontiers Music Srl is excited to announce the release of THE NIGHTS self-titled debut album on August 4, 2017!
THE NIGHTS have already debuted their first single, the acclaimed “Welcome to the Show”, which you can hear here or here: http://radi.al/TheNightsSpotify
The Nights is a dynamic Finnish duo formed by two well known members of the melodic rock scene in Finland. Ilkka Wirtanen handles guitars, production, and songwriting and Sami Hyde is on vocals and handles songwriting duties too. Both Sami and Ilkka have established careers in music in both Finland and abroad. Sami has been a singer for a variety of acts and projects, including the Tony Mills Band (SHY, TNT) which also included Geoff Nicholls (Black Sabbath) on keyboards and Neil Hibbs (SHY) on guitar. Additionally, he has written songs for many artists, including The Magnificent ("If It Takes All Night", "Lost", and "Drive"). Ilkka Wirtanen is best known for his work as a producer with international acts like glam rockers Reckless Love, for whom he has produced four albums and co-written many of their more well-known songs, including "Hot" and "Night On Fire". He has sat in the producer’s chair for several other rock bands (Baton Rogue Morgue, Hellcity Punks) and has worked as a mixer for international acts (S.E.X. Department).
The band also recently appeared at two exclusive shows supporting Brother Firetribe last April to rave reviews:
“It’s amazing how composing insanely catchy songs using only (…) is still possible... If the Swedish Work of Art is to your liking, but a heavier output is not a problem, I’d suggest you dig into this band right now. As a whole, the show was excellent… My money’s on wider success!” (Musicalypse.net)
“I can hardly believe it this is only the SECOND show by The Nights!!! The quartet from Helsinki and Jyväskylä does really well and I am really looking forward to her debut album which is due to be released in August.” (undercover-rock-and-metal)
With a line-up completed by Jan-Erik Iivari on drums & percussion and Harri Kokkonen on electric, acoustic and fretless bass, THE NIGHTS are going to provide the soundtrack to your late summer days!
Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to present the debut single from Finnish AOR hopefuls THE NIGHTS entitled “Welcome to the Show.”
The song is lifted off the band’s Self Titled debut album which will see the light of day August 2.
THE NIGHTS is a new band formed in the summer of 2015 by Sami Hyde (vocals) and Ilkka Wirtanen (guitar). Both Sami and Ilkka have successful careers in music, in Finland and abroad. Sami has been a singer for many acts and projects, including the Tony Mills Band (SHY, TNT) in 2008 which also included Geoff Nichols (Black Sabbath) on keyboards and Neil Hibbs (SHY) on guitar. He has also written songs for many artists, including The Magnificent ("If It Takes All Night", "Lost", and "Drive"). Ilkka Wirtanen is best known for his work as a producer with international acts like glam metal band Reckless Love, for whom he has produced four albums and co-written many of their popular songs, including "Hot" and "Night On Fire". He has also produced several other rock bands (Baton Rogue Morgue, Hellcity Punks) and worked as a mixer for international acts (S.E.X. Department).
THE NIGHTS was formed because Sami and Ilkka felt a common need to write songs that “make you feel good and also give tribute to our everlasting heroes in music, for example TNT and Yngwie Malmsteen.” Frontiers interest was piqued by their songs featuring a superb mixture of classic pop melodies and modern melodic rock/metal production and the band was signed!
