Interviews

We sat down with the Finnish rockers of The Empire Strikes to have a chat about their new album ‘Motell Scandinavia’, how come it took so long to get it out, what the idea is behind the title and some nice background bits about how some of the songs came together! Catch them live at their release show in Helsinki tonight or Spain and Germany later this year!
