Every year that Louder Than Life releases their lineup, I immediately go to the bottom of the lineup to check out the new, up and coming bands. The band that instantly caught my eye was Santa Cruz and do I regret not knowing about them before this festival! They’re a 4 piece band from Helsinki, Finland and they’re bringing back the heart and soul of 80’s hair metal! With their crazy guitar solos and harmonies along with Archie’s heart breaking voice, Santa Cruz is about to unleash their 4th album titled “Katharsis” on October 18th! I highly suggest you check out their previous 3 albums though because you’ll fall in love with their sound just like I did!
At Louder Than Life, I sat down with singer Archie and bassist Ero to talk about their classic sound, new album, culture shocks and what sports they enjoy!
