TUPLE, the band of Finnish singer / songwriter Tommi ‘Tuple’ Salmela (also vocalist for TAROT, LAZY BONES and others) prove that it wasn’t just a side project but an established act, as they are ready to release their third full length album “Paradise Lost“.
On this new album the sound and song-wise TUPLE are more anthemic like never before. This guitar / keyboard-driven melodic hard rock with impressive multi-part harmonies, adding elements of glam and certain parallels to WIG WAM, GRAND DESIGN or even Norwegians RETURN. But this guy from Finland is able to push aside the genre’s limits to deliver something fresh.
Add in some incredible hooks on all tracks that will stick with you, and you have one of the best releases in this type of Scandinavian melodic rock we’ve heard so far this year. Salmela and company have a considerable amount of skill when it comes to nailing room filling choruses!

Veteran Finnish vocalist Tommi TUPLE Salmela (TAROT, LAZY BONEZ) will release his first ever solo effort “Wooden Box” tomorrow on AOR Heaven Records. It’s a kind of concept album dealing with his life, while musically you get melodic hard rock with a huge amount of poppy AOR which means tons of keyboards and, of course, strong hooklines.
“Wooden Box“ is well-produced with a certain British feeling as well, and offers different approaches stylistically…
