rarely has an indie rock band created such fuss all over the finnish music  scene as rubik.  formed in 2002 and already a sold-out mini-album up their  sleeve, the band released their debut lp "bad conscience patrol" to much  anticipation in march 2007.  the album instantly acclaimed critical praise  with comparisons to works of radiohead, arcade fire, sigur ros etc.  their audience were stunned as well: "bad conscience patrol" debuted  number 7 in usually so heavy metal -ridden finnish official chart.  it also gave them their first hit with the single "city & the streets".

it's been a fine ride after that: in 2007 alone rubik toured finland, UK  and germany while performing at highly appreciated festivals such as  hultsfred, south by southwest, transmission and eurosonic.  the band has  shared stages with acts like mogwai, autechre, apostle of hustle and disco ensemble - this also reflects the eclectism of their own material.

combining hysterically schreeching guitars with almost ambient-like  soundscapes, their live act is truly worth noting.  music for hearts, head, soul and feet.  you decide.

indie rock aesthetics with pop accesibility, as they say.
