Why on earth these guys aren't widely known is beyond me.

Oh wait. No it's not. It's because they assembled by chance in a small town on the Arctic Rim of Finland. Not a place that big Record Labels usually scout for promising musical talent.

They sold everything they owned. The lead singer moved in with his parents. They recorded their music in his living room. Their office for a while was an old car. They were a miss-matched group: a Rock Singer, a Jazz Guitarist, an Industrial Machine keyboardist. Their big break came from a video game.

And their music is just great.

It's not stalking! It's artistic reference!

It would probably help to get a link or two, and what videogame?

Sounded decent enough from that.

They're indeed friggin' awesome, been a hardcore fan for four years now.

Visit www.poetsofthefall.com to check them out, you'll find quite a lot of good stuff on the media site which you can find on the Links page. Also, youtube is a good bet.

Alright, since no one ever responded to this, I'm going to shove you in a few directions that would have helped me when I was finding out about these guys.

Lift: one of my favorite music videos ever.

Carnival of Rust: a technical visual marvel and kickass song. #1 single in Scandinavia for a long time last year and voted best Finnish music video ever.

Locking up the Sun: The first Poets song I ever heard. At first it went right over my head. The second time to. Then I realized I absolutely loved it. Still do.

I was waiting for someone else to post links.

Can't for the life of me think of why.

Oh well.

Yeah, that's usually done by the person who makes the topic, but I did post one link, so WTF.

An address is not a link.

Sorry though: don't let the fact that someone as Ultimate Fail as me turn you off the group: they really are good.

Wait. He actually expected us to copy and paste the URL into the address bar? It's a mad house.

Alright, we've established I suck.

Please don't let my lameness turn you off this band. As they do rock.
