Founded in 2003 by the groups main songwriters, Lauri Koski (vocals, piano) and Jarkko Hassinen (bass, vocals), The Dash equals outstanding melodies, distorted riffs, intriguing arrangements with overwhelmingly huge orchestrations and it's all done with a take-no-prisoners attitude.

Without sounding inconsistent, their songs can turn in a matter of seconds from stunning multilayered, Beach Boys-like vocal harmonies to an insane fuzzy riff-raff or to a beatlesque trip on a strawberry field.

The distinctive and unique sound of The Dash can't really be compared to any existing band, but their own influences come from bands such as The Beatles, Muse, Abba, Nine Inch Nails, Tool and various bands that became famous in the early nineties under the nametag "grunge".

For 5 years The Dash developed their sound by writing tons of songs, keeping only the best ones and discarding the rest. Now, having completed recording in their most wonderfully captivating debut album with producer Pekka Laine, The Dash is ready to hit the road. You've been warned!
