Press Review
The Sugarrush has been in the press a lot. Here are a couple of reviews for everyone who's been awake on their Finnish-class.
Stara.fi: Useless Information EP 4/5
SUE: Useless Information EP 8/10
and also Soundi, who hasn't yet put the review online, but here's the whole thing:
The Sugarrush: Useless Information (Kinkt)
By: Antti Luukkanen
Vuosituhannen molemmin puolin kaksi mainiota albumia julkaissutta pop-kolmikkoa on aliarvioitu niin, että asiasta voisi valittaa ihmisoikeuskomissioon. Tärkeintä kuitenkin on, että yhtye ei ole nuivasta vastaanotosta lamaantunut. Viiden rykäisyn ep todistaa kompaktisti, miksi The Sugarrushiin on helppo ihastua. 90's (Salute) paketoi kolmeen minuuttiin niin Sladea kuin klassista power poppia. Samaa bilenostatusta on näppärässä Weekend Warriorissa, mutta varttitunnin sulavin siivu on silti isompaa pop-estetiikkaa hyväkseen käyttävä nimikappale, jota Firevisionista tutun Mikko Tammisen syntsat vetävät piirun verran valtavirtaan päin.

Oh My.
AKT, the body for Finnish record labels has charged 28 Finns on file-sharing.
Oh my.
Do you think that Evian could sue everyone who drinks tap water?
But hey, you guys can always share The Sugarrush song, that is available on the Kinkt website.. Here's a direct link. The Sugarrush: Useless Information MP3.

Busy bees
This week is going to be busy as hell. Daniel has gone back home to Sweden for a while, and he'll be offline for a couple of days, and I'm finishing my dissertation as we speak, so I'm tied up with that 'til the end of the week.
Planning to promote a gig for my mates, Wiidakko, I guess they should have a gig in Vaasa, probably mid-August.. I'll see what i can do.

Ilkka says hi!
Testing out the new blog..
Just reading the new Fly Magazine. They've covered The Mars Volta gig I recently went to at the Brixton Academy. Everyone seems to discreetly dislike their new stuff.. Heck, I'm waiting for their gig at Provinssirock like hell!
Lot of things happening at the Kinkt camp, I'll keep you posted ASAP.
Hugs & Kisses.

The Sugarrush: Useless Information EP
We've been loving The Sugarrush for ages already, but not too long ago, Kinkt Records got the possibility to release their new EP. At least I've been personally extatic about the whole project from the beginning.
The dynamic production-duo Firevision, have helped to realise the project, for which I am at least as extatic as I am about the whole band. They have been in demand a lot these days, as they have their fingers in a few pies at the moment. They've been involved in Liekki's album "Rajan Piirsin Taa" and also on the 69 Eyes single "Feel Berlin". The finnish expression on them would be: "kuuminta hottia"!
The EP has been pushed a lot by a lot of great people. Tomppa, Nina, Rami & Janne @ Playground Music Scandinavia have pushed all the right buttons for the EP to get into the right shops, media, industry people and so on. They truly rock! Also Miettinen @ Kitarama/YleX, Nick Triani & Lasse Kurki @ Radio Helsinki, Jocka @ Stara.fi, Henry @ Roklintu.. Bless you all, you really know your music!
Our special love goes to Onechord.Net. It is maybe the only relevant truly independent media of the world. He knows his stuff better than anyone, and he truly means every single word he says. They're a gift from above, the guy's a god... ok, I'll skip the metaphysics, but you get the picture.. Be sure to visit his site! It's commercial-free, 100% dedicated website for the most interesting finnish bands on the planet!! It's greAT!
By the way, check out this cool video from The Sugarrush's new album-sessions.
New blog
Hiyas.
We are now open for service. Additional information will be put up as we go along. The Kinkt-blog will provide you with stories on (mostly) music-related topics. Kinkt loves to have fun as well, so don't expect us to be always too serious.
For now, I'll be writing this on my own, but I'm hoping to get a few mates to chip in with their exciting stories about music, pop-culture and life in general.
Clickety-click on the links on the right side, and you'll get an idea what our world is all about.
