Iconcrash Biography

Iconcrash is a electrorock/darkwave band from Helsinki, Finland, formed by vocalist composer Jaani Peuhu. Now the band members include Arttu Juntunen, keyboard and backup vocals, Riku-Niilo Mattila bass, Matti Toivonen, guitar and Oskari Vilmunen, drums. The English-Finnish record company Parole Records published their debut album Nude in spring 2005, after which the live band was assembled.

Their second album Enochian Devices was published in spring 2010 with the collaboration of Dynasty Recordings and EMI Finland. The album was recorded at Dynasty Studios and at Sonic Pump and the production lasted over a year. The album was received well and the singles Strange, Strange Dark Star and Everlasting got plenty of radio play and reached the top of YleX:s most wanted list. Strange, Strange Dark Star also appeared in Clive Barkers movie Midnight Meat Train, to which it was remixed by Justin Larsen (Lady Gaga, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails) and three songs were also in the soundtrack of Blackout, a movie by Petteri Summanen

Inkeroinen, the third album of the band, was published 14.9.2011 by Dynasty Helsinki. For a little over half a year the album was recorded at Sonic Pump in Helsinki, Miloco Music Box in London, in the mansion of Magnusborg in Porvoo] and at Ten Studios in Stockholm. Under the leadership of Peuhu, the members of the band worked intensively as a production team during the recordings. In addition many esteemed professionals contributed to the making of the album, including Lee Slater (The Vaccines, 30 Seconds To Mars, Kylie Minogue, Glasvegas), Arttu Peljo (Chisu, Disco Ensemble, Sunrise Avenue, Jenni Vartiainen), Antti Erakangas (Lauri, Von Hertzen Brothers, The Rasmus) and Sampo Haapaniemi (Egotrippi, Teleks, Johanna Kurkela). The video of Stockholm was in rotation on Voice Tv and MTV Finland.

In spring 2012 Iconcrash participated successfully in the UMK-competition, in which Finlands representative to the Eurovisions is also chosen. With their song We Are The Night the band made it to the finals and played a tv live for half a million people from the Helsinki Ice Hall. The song got also a lot of radio play and it was voted to the top of YleX:s most wanted list three times.

In addition to touring extensively in Finland, Iconcrash has been playing in England, Russia, Central Europe, the Baltic countries and The United States. The band has also played with international groups including My Chemical Romance, Kaiser Chiefs, The White Lies, Anathema, Royal Republic and Atari Teenage Riot.
