Who reads biographies anyway? They are usually boring and completely irrelevant to the music itself. That's why we are not going to burden you with facts about the band members' background or favorite dishes. Who left and why and when, who came in and when and how. The truth might also be that we don't know how to write a proper bio, so rather than blahblahing something utterly useless, we are not going to say anything, much. Go figure.   Let's just briefly say that Murmansk started making their distorted, feedback -filled music back in 2003 in Helsinki, Finland. That's in the backwoods of Northern Europe, a cold and isolated country between Sweden and Russia. Well it used to be a lot colder. Our music is bass-driven, our melancholic melodies come wrapped in distorted guitars, female vocals and dramatic drums (was everybody mentioned?) – you could call it shoegaze with aggressive edge. And yes, of course people have come and gone along the way… The current line-up dates from the beginning of 2008: Olli (bass), Laura (vocs, guitar), Jaakko (drums), Jari (guitar).   But now we are where we always wanted to be at; excited about our debut album …which took a while to make and cost us a lot – in many ways. We are glad if you listen to it. Go and buy the album if you like it – or if you can find it, download it – that too is fine by us..
