Founded in 2003 in Helsinki, the Hittegods believe in good old fashioned rock without resorting to genres and sub genres. This trio consisting of Mikko Lähdeoja, HP Nummela and Anssi Korkiakoski have one foot firmly on the road to success with this their third demo.The band’s no-nonsense approach of big riffs built around a powerful rhythm section has been the mainstay of many bands so why alter a system that works.This impressive demo opens up with the title track “Flower Power” and from the off the band set their stage with Lähdeoja’s big riff opening and the balanced yet pounding back beat of Nummela and Korkiakoski and Lähdeoja’s Neil Young like vocals. The driving guitar sound is again a highlight of the whole band’s sound with “Eye For An Eye” and the superb up-tempo rocker “Back In Business”.

The band may be unsigned but I’m sure this will be remedied very soon as this quite impressive EP closes with “Going Crazy” a darker more intense sound but still sticking to that big guitar filled sound. So remember where you heard it first, this is band definitely on the way up!
