DIY Rock From Planistry
- Written by Marky Edison
Planistry is a five-piece band from Finland with a pure DIY attitude. Planistry’s music varies from sentimental rock -lullaby ‘Calm Down’, ambitious first single ‘Open Road’ to straightforward ‘Man On the Moon’ and other songs with a twist of progressive hard rock and metal influences.
Tarmo Tikkinen is the founder and heart of the band. Since 2014 they've been working with their own kind of modern and alternative sound. After some changes within the band, they’ve now been able to form a motivated and energetic group. They’re also grateful for finding a wide network of helpful people. At the moment the band is based in Helsinki. Planistry released their first album ThREELESS (2016) with a "demo" feel to it, which helped them to get things rolling.
The independently produced second album is now ready to be released. The album was recorded and mixed by Onni Lappalainen at Crane Studio in Lappeenranta and mastered by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers. Sami “Kuoppis” Kuoppamäki has been a great “spiritual support” over the past two years.
