Shiraz Lane is an energetic, ambitious, authentic Hard Rock group formed in 2011 Helsinki, Finland. Their music wreaks of creative variety, which resonates through their double-edged guitar sound (produced by lead guitarist Jani Laine and rhythm guitarist Miki Kalske), groovy-yet-solid ground pounding (Ana Willman drums & Joel Alex bass) and unmistakenably high-soaring melodies chanted by lead singer Hannes Kett. Despite their youth (early twenties), they are already veterans of the underground circuit in their homeland and have developed a reputation for being uncompromising, loud, but most of all the genuine article. Although wearing inspiration and paying homage to their predecessors like Aerosmith and Guns N' Roses, the “Big Guns” of Scandinavia such as members from The 69 Eyes, Amorphis, Lordi and Sonic Syndicate have all described them as being one of the most entertaining bands they have seen in the underground music scene, bringing a fresh breeze to the table in terms of both music and live performance.

Shiraz Lane's debut two track online single "Out There Somewhere" and "Money Talks" was released in October 2014, which generated interest and enthusiam in the national music market, including radio airings and music video promotion on Radio Rock's website.
Since then, the band expanded the single release to a 5 track EP named "Be The Slave Or Be The Change" in the spring of 2015. It was very well received by both public and the press. Following these releases the band has put out three album supporting music videos, toured the biggest national summer festivals and got the chance to play in Toronto, Finland Fest in Tokyo Japan & Wacken Open Air. Currently the band continues to work hard on new material and is about to engage on a national tour supporting Santa Cruz.
