Erin formed in 2001 in Vaasa, Finland, with Jarkko Ehnqvist on vocals and guitar, Jussi Reunamäki on bass, and Tuomas Koivuniemi on drums. They started putting out albums the next year, beginning with their self-titled debut in 2002. Their song 'Vanha Nainen Hunningolla' became a well-known track for them.
Their music often pulls from Finnish folk sounds, mixed with straightforward pop melodies. Songs like 'Ei Se Siitä' and 'Ole Vaan' show their tendency toward reflective, sometimes poetic lyrics. They've mentioned Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Bruce Springsteen as influences on how they write.
They've released six studio albums, including 'Säveltaipaleella' in 2004, 'Vuonna '85' in 2007, and 'Hunningolla' in 2010. The band took a break in 2007 but came back together two years later. In 2018, they put out 'Maailmanperijät'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
