Iconcrash
In the beginning there was one man, Jaani Peuhu. Already a seasoned rock music professional at a pretty young age, Peuhu wanted to do exactly what he wanted, without having to please anyone else but himself. So he wrote a number of songs that sounded more like the music he was hearing in his head than the sound of any of his prior bands.
These songs became Nude, the first Iconcrash album, that was released in spring 2005. Jaani had written, produced and performed much of the record himself. Although there were also several guest musicians involved, it was basically Jaani's solo album.
To be able to perform his songs on stage, Jaani put together a live band consisting of his musician friends. This band played dozens of gigs to support the album, and during those gigs these talented musicians made their own interpretations of the songs on the album.
Nowadays Iconcrash is a real band consisting of five people. Besides Jaani, these people are Anu Tukeva on keyboards, Matti Toivonen on guitar, Riku-Niilo Mattila on bass, and Oskari Vilmunen on drums.
Iconcrash are now finished with their second album called Enochian Devices after fourteen month sessions at Dynasty Recording studios and Sonic Pump Studios.
