Artist History Moline (originally called Birthcage) first took shape in Karhula, Finland (better known from metal acts such as Omnium Gatherum and Total Devastation), at the end of the '90s when Simo (vocals&guitar), Teppo (bass) and Timo (drums) decided to form a band. Soon after one year and one gig came lack of motivation and 'Cage was forgotten for almost three years. Summer of '02 brought the band back to life when we decided to give it a second chance and finally in December '02 our first demo-cd "the Sun" was recorded. However, we felt that there was still something missing from the band. In March '03 we finally found the missing link when Heka joined to play guitar. At the same time it felt like a good time to make a fresh start, so name was changed from Birthcage (R.I.P. 1999 - 2003) to Moline. Expect new cd to be done during the summer '03. Our music is influenced by a wide-range of bands such as Silverchair, Incubus, Foo Fighters, Fuel etc. Basicly we are trying to create a hybrid of heavier rock and athmospheric pop. Within the band we listen almost anykind of a music from death metal to britpop, so the scale is quite wide. But the way we see it, that's just a good thing.
