Ursus Factory

For over a decade, Ursus Factory has been one of the most distinctive and persistent forces in Finnish rock – a long-time favorite among both audiences and critics, breathing new life into rattling, crashing guitar rock without a trace of empty nostalgia.

The duo of singer-guitarist Jussi Pelkonen and drummer-vocalist Aleksi Ripatti has for years been hailed as one of the fiercest live acts in Finland, and for good reason. Once Ursus Factory gets going on stage, there’s no picking a careful path forward. The songs hit with reckless energy, giving as much as they take: explosive riffs come straight at you, while at the same time the lyrics land with a surprising sense of warmth.

In the hands of Ursus Factory, Finnish rock isn’t fading away – it’s shaking itself awake and pushing forward harder than ever. A live show that hits hard is guaranteed!
