Isn't the first Finnish band to attend Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona something to pay extra attention to? We though so. Perhaps you've heard their single "Laws Of Gravity" which is currently on high rotation on our radio. They've been described as "ADHD'd Finns" by Spin Magazine and the band's live performance is absolutely stunning.

"Rubik WILL make your skin crawl at some point. This happens when you're forced to peer too far into anything. Vertigo. It's a curse, the knowing of another's inner thoughts. Right after making you squirm, the band will lift you up with a cascade of melody. It's a roller coaster ride, vacillating between the micro- and macrocosmic. Rubik's self-produced second album, Dada Bandits, does a scary littlehigh-wire dance between the intimate and the elephantine, the melodic and the noisy, the gorgeous and the hideous. They can be as withdrawn and obtuse as the artiest rock band out there and then bust out with a melodic hug potent enough to enclose the globe. Rubik can go from sounding like a well oiled,world-conquering machine to a broken down, cigarette encrusted bar piano. " Fullsteam
