Artist description WAVE plays melodic and energetic guitar rock combined with skillfull playing and singing, a good understanding of music dynamics and harmonies, and the ability to write catchy songs that will stand the test of time! In the recent times the band has produced some heavier sounding songs, still, without loosing any of those melodic guitar riffs and vocal lines that can be said to be the "trademark" of the band. WAVE's songs cover a fairly broad rock music range from softer, ballad-type songs to more up-tempo hard-rock style tunes. What comes to the songwriting process, Juha and Mira write the songs, and they also do most of the song arranging. Mira also writes the lyrics (mostly originating from her personal experiences in life..) and then Pete and Rami join in for adding some of that necessary low-end and solid grooves and rythm to the songs.

Music Style Melodic rock/hardrock

Musical Influences Sielun Veljet and various other Finnish bands, Suede, Simon & Garfunkel, Elvis Presley etc. and all kinds of HEAVYstuff! (the list goes on and on!).
