MoonfreaK is a alternative/indie rock band based in Jakobstad, Finland. The band was formed in september 2006 and their debut cd Suburban Vacation was released in the spring of 2008. Sebastian's voice is some kind of mix between Ian Anderson's and Michael Stipe's. Patrick's guitarwork sometimes bursts into Slash-like sounds and sometimes the totally weird. Måns' tight and interesting basswork has a tendency to bounce into disco grooves of the seventies. Anders' drumming is progressive, rock'n'roll, reaggae or afro depending on song and situation. Sometimes a mix of the above. All these ingredients mixed together makes the unique sound that is MoonfreaK!
Voices about MoonfreaK: "These guys are no beginners. The melodic guitar-rocking music sounds professional from the first second. That the thoughts every now and then goes to the R.E.M.-classic Automatic For The People (partly because Sebastian's voice and singing style resembles Michael Stipe's) is nothing the guys should be ashamed of, quite the opposite. On this album you'll find many beatiful melodies. My personal favorite is "The Lobster Song", a pure rocker with biting guitar-riffs that stick in your head." - Henrik Jansson, Åbo Underrättelser 31/05 2008
