AboutWhen teachers at a comprehensive school in a small town in central Finland tried to make 11-year-old Sammy study in maths and geography instead of his overwhelming interest inacts like W.A.S.P, Mötley Crüe and Hanoi Rocks they intentionally left out the fact that another kid – named Eliaz – on another class next door had exactly similar interests…
Private Line was originally formed in the mid-90s by Sammy, guitar-player Jari and some of their school mates. Eliaz – the kid in the block…. erm….. at school some years earlier – joined the band shortly after meeting Sammy at a house party. They soon came to notice it was not only music they shared in common but found themselves interested in the overall wisdom of Rock’n’roll Decadence as well. Private Line participated in quite a few band competitions and used all their prize money to record and release their first EP in 1998. The material on “Smooth Motions” combined hard-rock influences and fierce rhythms. The band started touring and went through some line up-changes. The new line-up including Sammy, Eliaz, Jari, Spit and Ilari went to a studio to record 5-song promo-CD which got quite nice response, especially from outside of Finland. Despite of the good reception of the Promo-CD, the year 2001 was uncertain time for the band – Jari left the band and joined Finnish metal kings Timo Rautiainen ja Trio Niskalaukaus – and Sammy moved to Helsinki Rock City and was soon after followed bytherest of the band. In the beginning of 2002 Sammy bumped into Jack (ex-Palm Cut) while exploring the nightlife of Helsinki and they decided to join their forces and breathe new life into Private Line.
The band started intense rehearsing period and went on to record new kick-ass material. In the December 2002 Private Line released a new Mini-CD titled “Six Songs Of Hellcity Trendkill” (released by Bad Habits/Kråklund Records). The Mini-CD got rave reviews from the Finnish rock media and also many international print- and webzines were enthusiastic about these Finnish newcomers. The band did a 40-show tour ofFinland and created themselves a fanatic fanbase. Private Line's loud as f**k mix of 80's sleaze and early 90's alternative punk was now starting to make bigger and bigger waves. The lead singer Sammy's vocals, stage presence and showmanship was more than often compared to the likes of Vince Neil (Mötley Crüe) and Sebastian Bach (Skid Row).
The title of the brand-new debut album by Private Line "21st Century Pirates" (released by Bad Habits/Playground Music) tells a whole lot about the band, their music and their attitude. They have practiced their piracy by borrowing and stealing the most essential elements from their childhood heroes and turned it into their own 21st century modern sound. After touring Finland’s rock`n roll harbors for two straight years they went straight to number 3 on the finnish Top 20 single-chart with "Forever And a Day" in February 2004. The single also included the “Levottomat 3” movie and original soundtrack “Sleep Tight”. Second single and the video song (filmed by Los Angeles based Thomas Hencz) “1-800-Out-Nowhere” came out in Finland on the 30th June and hit the single chart at #4. 21st Century Pirates is also released in Japan (JVC Victor), Russia (Playground) & Italy (Edel Italy). With the new album, Private Line is ready to steal your heart - and they will show no mercy and take no prisoners!
Before end of the year 2004, Private Line made a one week tour in Italy and made their first touch with spanish fanbase by showcase gig in Barcelona, Spain. The third single release from 21st Century Pirates album, "Already Dead" came out in December 2004 and went to #6 on the official finnish single chart.
