THE STORY:

After releasing multiple heavier albums and playing gigs around Europe. Singer-songwriter Aleksi Ahokas found inspiration for songs more towards folk, rock n blues. For the long summer there was Bob Dylan, Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell singing from the records. Late night wandering around Helsinki, with an acoustic guitar, wine and a songbook. Later on new influences such as Mark Kozelek, Damien Jurado, John Vanderslice, Elliot Smith, Beatles, Jeff Buckley and Ali Farka Toure came along. What started as an acoustic one man project is now turning on the electricity!

Aleksi Ahokas - Guitar & Vocals
Ville Salmi - Bass

REVIEWS

CLASSIC ROCK SUOMI

Plans: Abroad mini-cd (2012)

Plans - AbroadPlans is a band from Helsinki, that get´s its influeneces from the same places as Kingston Wall for example. I do not know what arose the interest at the same instance I got my hands on the cd. Could it be a bit different kind of package or the text of the cover letter?

Abroad includes three of about five minute miniworks. Three songs of individual harmonic entities work well as individually played. But as a whole the minialbum gets to shine at its best.

Singer/Guitarist is the soul and the strength of the band. He´s soulful voice with classy music gives the band a strong background to arise however far in our country´s music supply. Aleksi´s songs give a great possibility for different interesting jams and settings in live gigs. The band has a talent to vary the arrangements when needed. The Neil Young-like solo of “No One” is also great.

Just after listening the album you don’t want to listen anything else. Since while listening to it, you get so grand visions you don’t want to ruin.

This album is precisely of that kind that gives hope that there still can be found a band from Finland that has interesting music.

Check out a Finnish original from : Classic Rock Suomi
