Category: HOOTENANNY FREAKS

While formed more than three decades ago in 1987, Finland’s HOOTENANNY FREAKS are releasing today their second full length album entitled “Eyes Of The Warrior“. The band released 2 EP’s during their thirty years of existence but never were able to get a stable line up due the member’s different projects.
However, the current 5-piece have been together since 2016, and since they solidified the band’s sound & style strongly influenced by ’80s / early ’90s melodic hard rock.
There’s fully keyboard sliced AORish tunes with some H.E.A.T / BROTHER FIRETRIBE touches, then we find more metallic songs remembering OZZY Zakk Wylde’s era, others with a bluesy feel akin BURNING RAIN, and HOOTENANNY FREAKS show additional variation with a piano ballad at the end.
A solid, promising ‘new’ band from the evergreen Scandinavian Melodic Hard Rock scene…
