STREAM: PEARL GATES - Unchained EP (2015)

Pearly Gates (formed in 2005) is a Helsinki, Finland based rock band that is not afraid to mix catchy pop hooks and chunky guitar riffs in its music. Armed with three guitars the band creates a huge wall of sound only to bring it down with chimey jazz chords all while holding everything together with tight bass lines and monstrous drumming.

In August 2015 Pearly Gates released Unchained, an EP with four tightly knit songs that brings the band's sound to an all time high. The group spent a lot of time in studios, cellars and cabins around Finland recording the songs and making this music as satisfying as an aural experience can be.
