Joffel Project

The band “Joffel Project” was created in August 2011 in Finland by guitarist Mr. Joffel. The band’s concept is to play music with different musicians playing ‘their’ style of music without any pressure to succeed

The band's motto: "No name, no fame - we just want to play".

The band’s first recording line-up included Ismo Turunen - bass guitar, and Jani Linnanmäki - drums. In September 2011, the Joffel Project had their first studio session and recorded 8 songs with guitars, bass, and drums. At the end of September 2011, the Joffel Project finalized and released 4 songs with 3 legendary Finnish rock vocalists: Mr. Leiden (“Downshift” and “Tomorrow and Yesterday”), Mr. Pänttäjä (“Customer”), and Mr. Herranen (“Rosalie”).

In August 2012, the second recording session consisted of 7 new songs. The Joffel Project used the same recording line-up as 2011 with added new bass guitarist Vesa Pännäri who played bass tracks to 4 new songs. Bass player Ismo Turunen from the first line-up could not record in the second session because of his busy schedule therefore, recorded his bass tracks to 3 songs in North Carelian at a later date. In vocal parts, famous Finnish rap vocalist Mr. Steen1, added his vocals to the song “ Se tavallinen tarina” and Mr. Leiden, added his vocals to "Mercenary Man” and "Bad Habit".

The band’s debut album “Shaken' not stirred”, explores complex areas in people life and hard experiences what you been going trough, without any musical prejudice and without music industry pressures. The musical abandonment is present in all stages in the making of this album: composition, production, and especially in the vocal and instrumental performance. They are all truly genuine expressions of the feelings that inspired these songs.

In December 2012, some of the album was released. Hannu Leiden and Petri Majuri were involved in the production, recording, mixing, and mastering of the album in one of the best studios in Finland; Seawolf Studios.

The Joffel Project’s songs are being heard and accepted with rave reviews by new fans throughout North and South America, thanks to Internet and many independent online web radio stations. The songs are included in their radio rotation/playlists worldwide.….and the Joffel Project musical journey continues with the group keeping with their motto: "No name, no fame”.

“We just want to play and share our music with people worldwide". Now band go on the road and going to play gigs... so see you in there!
