The city of Turku on the west coast of Finland brings you one of the bands we are very proud to have in our family, Back Against The Wall. The slightly oi!-influenced street punk rock with the occational mosh parts and groovy guitar solos is a very interesting package. "The band's style is very catchy and unique, there isn't another band like them in Finland, maybe not even Europe", is how Full House's Kristian explained the label's interest in the band. "Their style of traditional punk rock is exactly what today's hardcore scene needs", he concluded.

The vocalist Harri Nieminen is well known in the Finnish hardcore community. He fronted the bands Today's Waste and Jury, these were the first ever Finnish straight edge hardcore bands in the late 80's / early 90's. And although BATW as a band doesn't have any political stances, he has remained straight edge and vegan through the years. This same dedication has brought him world class recognition in thai-boxing.

Back Against The Wall have previously released a demo and a 7", and now debut cd "Down To Earth" on Full House is spreading their message.
