[edit] Bio
The band was founded in 2004 as Cabincrew by two former members of the band Killer - Timo Huhtala and Teijo Jämsä - and Samuli Relander who used to play guitar for the bands The Winyls and Personal Aspect.
Since Cabincrew was used by a dance act already, they changed their name, inspired by their former band names: Killer + Personal Aspect = Killer Aspect.
They soon met up at Timo's place and realised that it sounded worth a further approach after listening to some demo tapes together. The band was soon completed by Max (who was introduced by Teijo) and Jukka, Killer's on-tour keyboard player and friend.
The choice was made to form the band. They started practising at the Cable Factory (Helsinki) and wrote their first song, First Dance. Very motivated, they headed for the Finnish archipelago to compose more songs. Since they were all very enthusiastic about those, they booked Finnvox studios and recorded their first six songs. After that, they started rehearsing for their first shows, e.g. On The Rocks, Provinssirock and Tavastia (opening for Poets of the Fall) - where they met their agent Ville Häyrynen from Sam Agency.
At the moment the band is in the studio again, producing and recording their first single and album by themselves. The first songfiles are available on Killer Aspect's forum and their MySpace.
