AIRI’S Release New Single ‘Son’, Feat. Sami Kuoppamäki on Drums

AIRI’S’ new single ”Son” is both a cry for help and a triumphant declaration of letting go. The song represents the band’s formative years and lyrically reflects pivotal themes to the band such as anxiety and depression. “Son” is a liberating listening experience and a perfect example of what Airi’s’ music is all about. Kingston Wall-legend Sami Kuoppamäki featuring on drums!

The band’s first album, “Kind Little One”, released in August 2022, was praised by critics and the public. The album is a story about the human life cycle, from birth to death. The second album, “Sea of Your Thoughts”, released in September 2024, brings out even more of the band’s brilliant playing chops and organic live sound. The album’s single “Marigolds” even received radio airplay in the United States, and the album’s release was celebrated with a sold out show at Semifinal in Helsinki.

Airi’s has played over 120 shows, including Ruisrock 2024 and as an opening act for Erja Lyytinen at her Finnish shows. Outside Finland, the band has already performed in the Baltics, Sweden and the UK. In spring 2024 the band performed at London’s legendary The Dublin Castle club to a full house. The band has cited The Police, Pearl Jam and the Von Hertzen Brothers as influences.
