We are Airi’s!
We are a five-piece rock band from Finland, founded in 2019. Our music has been influenced by 90s rock, progressive rock and big band arrangements, telling stories from the entire emotional spectrum of human life, from anxiety and depression to admiration and love. Since 2019 we have played nearly 100 shows around Finland and the UK. We love to play live and we always want to make every gig a unique experience to the audience by varying the setlist and jamming spontaneously between the songs.
We released our debut album ”Kind Little One” in August 2022. The singles ”Earthquake” and ”Headlights” were played frequently on indie radio stations around Europe, and the radio exclusive single ”Lonely Cloud” was even played in the United States, at the legendary radio DJ Rodney Bingenheimer’s show on SiriusXM. We celebrated the release of our debut album by organizing the ”Kind Little One” charity concert in Espoo concert hall Kannusali, which raised 1500€ to Finnish Mental Health Organization MIELI ry. Mental health is one of the main themes on the album and also an important subject to us, and we want to disclose the subject in our music and at our live shows.
We are currently working on our second full length album, which will be released during fall 2024.
