Block Buster is a straight-forward-high-energy hard rock band, formed by brothers Aarni & Jaakko Metsäpelto in late 2008 in Kuopio, Finland. There's something unique in the feel and the energy that Block Buster cranks out. The formula itself is simple; hard hitting four-on-the-floor groove, ear-splitting guitars and glass-gargling vocals with catchy choruses. All these elements combined will make you want to chug down all the beer, raise your fist in the air and call your boss you ain't coming to work tomorrow because you're about to get drunk while rocking out tonight. That's what Block Buster is all about - Having a good time because you only live once. No political views intended.

Mainly influenced by rock music from the 70's and the 80's, the boys' list of influences include many of the classic acts. The best way of describing their music in verbal form would be something like this: Take AC/DC and Motörhead, spice it up with some Extreme, the rougher side of The Rolling Stone and throw in some hunger and energy of the rock-torch carriers of the newer generation such as Airbourne and The Darkness.
By playing shows all around the country in pubs, clubs, and summer festivals and sharing stages with bands like Bon Jovi, Block Buster has gathered a strong fanbase under their name and received recognition and support from people of many world-class bands of the Finnish music scene, such as Nightwish, Tarot and Reckless Love.
If you're going to a Block Buster show, you will receive an energetic, loud, sweaty & skull crushing rock 'n' roll spectacle performed by four young guys having the best time of their lives.
