LEVERAGE: Band of the month in Hardrock Haven

Hardrock Haven has chosen Leverage as a Band of the Month. According to Hardrock Haven:

The Hardrock Haven Band of the Month is a band we firmly believe needs to be heard. Each month, one Hardrock Haven staff member has their opportunity to pick a band they feel is going to break soon; a band that is deserved of nationwide attention; and lastly, a band that just kicks ass.” … Derric Miller.

Hardrock Haven is proud to bring you our second installment for our new section — Band of the Month — and this time around we journey to Finland and heap praise upon Leverage.

Leverage is a progressive hard rock outfit from Helsinki, Finland who is more hard rock than progressive. The band comprises of six talented musicians: guitarists Tuomas Heikkinen (band founder) and Torsti Spoof, vocalist Pekka Heino, keyboardist Marko Niskala, bassist Pekka Lampinen and drummer Valteri Revonkorpi. While many Scandinavian and European bands follow the trend of speed-infused power metal, Leverage takes their queue from classic hard rock bands of the past, choosing to let the music breath they don’t overburden their music with needless over playing.

The heart of Leverage lies within the musical compositions of Tuomas Heikkinen who has taken a daydream and turned it into reality. Together with his former guitar student Torsti Spoof piloting the discovery and redefining the music of Heikkinen, the duo holed up in Spoof’s studio and built the foundations for Leverage’s debut release, Tides in ‘06.
