There are 4 bands with this name:

First -
-------

Energetic Rockband from Kemi, Finland. Formed back in 2001. Band started from an idea between couple of friends thinking it would be cool to play some Guns n' Roses covers. Even though Gn'R still remains one of the biggest influences for them, pretty soon it became obvious that playing covers was not the thing for them. Band consists of six different kind of musicians who have gathered their influences from all kinds of music like classical, blues&jazz, funk, hard rock, punk, progressive rock, pop, progressive metal, death metal etc. Because of this, they don't sound just like another hair metal band from the 80's.

Members:

- Matti Vähä, vocals
- Juhana Länttä, lead guitar
- Joonas Alaoja, rhythm guitar
- Antti Toppinen, bass
- Jouni Vaara, drums
- Vesa Hyvönen, keyboards

Demos:

- Chixx With Dixx (tracks "Still There Beyond" and "We Die Young", 2003)
- Two Days In November (tracks "Obsessing Me" and "Pieces", 2004)
- R (tracks "Rings Of Smoke" and "Parasite", 2006)
- On The Wrong Side (tracks "Sides" and "Sucker", 2007)

Rattlesnake met whilst studying 'Music and Sound Technology' at the University of Portsmouth. Tref Davies (Vocalist) combined his classic rock influences, with Will's Virtuoso style of guitar playing, to create the 'Rattlesnake sound'. The band is rounded out with bassist Hidi Moro and drummer Torsten Maschmeyer.

Rattlesnake spent a year performing around Portsmouth and Southampton at venues such as 'The Wedgewood Rooms' and 'The Joiners'.
