Biography

Rückwater emerged from moldy basements of Tampere, Finland, bringing with them a unique blend of musical styles that would come to define their sound. Formed in 2010, the band originally consisted of Markku Makkonen, Jussi Vehman and Jape Makkonen, who shared a passion for music and a desire to create something truly distinct.

In the early days, Rückwater honed their craft by performing in local venues and underground clubs, steadily building a devoted following with their electrifying live shows. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences, including stoner-rock, metal and alternative-rock Rückwater began to carve out their own sonic identity.

With the release of their debut EP Bonehead in 2017, the band announced themselves to the world with a thunderous roar. The EP’s powerful melodies, poignant lyrics, and dynamic instrumentation resonated with audiences, earning Rückwater critical acclaim and a growing international fanbase.

Their debut album Supernova released in 2020 showcased Rückwater’s evolution as musicians and songwriters, as they continued to push the boundaries of their sound. From slow-doomy tunes to adrenaline-fueled anthems, each release offered listeners a glimpse into the band’s ever-expanding musical universe.

Their commitment to authenticity and artistic integrity has earned them a place among Tampere most beloved musical exports, and their influence can be felt far beyond the borders of their homeland.

As Rückwater embarks on the next chapter of their musical journey, releasing their second album Bored Machine, one thing remains certain: their passion for creating music that speaks to the soul knows no bounds. With each new release and live performance, they continue to captivate audiences with their raw energy, undeniable talent, and unwavering dedication to their craft.
