Finnish power quartet MEGASNAKE have released their sophomore single “Shame on Me”. The band’s line-up is singer Richard ”Tipe” Johnson (Leningrad Cowboys, Gringos Locos, Apocalyptica’s live line-up), Drummer Twist Twist Erkinharju (Peer Günt, Leningrad Cowboys, Los Bastardos Finlandeses), Guitar player Samuel Hjelt (Kings of Modesty, ex-Ancara) and bass player Henrik Tuura (Kings of Modesty, Killer Kachina).

The second single starts off where the first single “Sun Don’t Shine” ended – with Twist Twist Erkinharju’s masculine baritone voice. After the countdown it’s time to roll again. The lyrical theme is “big brother is watching you”. In this case the storyteller is “the bad guy” but also “you” (the listener) is guilty of complacency and blue-eyedness.

MegaSnake!?!?!?!?!? WTF!? Really!?

MegaSnake is a fourpiece Rock band from Finland, who carry their name with dignity and pride.

MegaSnake is out to have a good time, putting smiles on peoples faces (and their own) with high energy R’n’R.

As far as previous history goes (former bands/projects etc.) the MegaSnake gentlemen sure have it and then some.

Having been around the block several times the guys also know how to take their music seriously, while not themselves too seriously. The MegaSnake gents say: “We might grow older but we’ll never grow up”.

Anyway, here’s MegaSnake with their first single release Sun Don’t Shine. Enjoy!!!

So: What’s in a name?
The guys in MegaSnake choose
A and B

P.S
Maybe playing covers by Whitesnake and Megadeath explains everything. Or then again nothing.
