For those of who get your Indica news only from this home page - we would like to mention that the web team has finally convinced Jonsu that, in fact, computers are not all evil! As a result these days you might catch an update from Jonsu herself on Facebook / Royal Artist Club / Twitter. Really, we have to be careful or she'll turn into a total internet nerd and will then exchange her violin for the latest netbook model...

You can download the song "Islands of Light" from the forthcoming album for FREE! Do it right here - you only have to enter your email address to receive your download code.

This is also a great time to sign up to our new email newsletter!

Love, Indica

Indica are extremely happy to announce their signing to the German powerhouse Nuclear Blast GmbH.

"It is very rare to see such enthusiasm that we have already witnessed with all the Nuclear Blast folks about our forthcoming debut album in English. We can't wait to start to work with all of the company's people, to get the album out and to start touring in Europe!"
- Indica

"We are very proud to welcome this young band from Finland to the Nuclear Blast family. Those five exceptional girls have totally captivated all of us. With their magical and self-contained form of romantic and melancholic rock music we are trying to explore into directions which are new to us and and it will be a big but more than exciting challenge!"
- Markus Staiger, Nuclear Blast President

The album was produced by Nightwish mastermind Tuomas Holopainen, who has toured Europe with Indica twice so far.

"Indica has such sights to show you! You will be spellbound for lifetime!"
- Tuomas Holopainen, Nightwish

www.nuclearblast.de

With the new album released, there's been several Indica appearances on Finnish media. These interviews are in Finnish, but here's a couple of links in case you're curious, or you happen to understand the language. Unfortunately we can't verify that these work outside of Finland, but hopefully yes.

On the 21st Jonsu made an afternoon visit to the YleX radio station. You can listen to the interview here. Yesterday on the 22nd, both Jonsu and Heini participated in the morning program Huomenta Suomi on the MTV3 channel. The program can be found online for awhile from MTV3 Katsomo, by scrolling down from the left side to Indica's interview (found on the date 22.10.).

Indica's collection album Pahinta tänään is released today, October 21st! In addition to 8 earlier hit singles, the album has 3 previously unreleased songs including the latest single Valokeilojen vampyyri, and the "live in studio" recorded cover of Popeda's Kersantti Karoliina.
