The crazy Finns are back! High Heels & Broken Bones is jam packed with giant hooks and topical lyrics in digipak format and featuring artwork that flirts with traditional Finnish painting 'Aino' from the 'Kalevala' stories.
The band has released the following statement about the new album: "What´s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear of ´fucking nut cracking punk 'n' roll from Finland'? Add to that picture cover art that is flirting with the traditional, well known Finnish painting 'Aino' from The 'Kalevala'-stories. We´re sure that you´re confused, but curious. Anyway, don't get us wrong. We are NOT telling stories about 'Kalevala', hehehehe.. The cover art just tells you what we Finns are like, and how others see us. And it's the music the really tells you what the Graveyard Shifters are all about! The title of the album comes from life's ups and downs. We will take you to the top of a skyscraper and to the bottom of a cesspool. The situation in the world is dangerous at the moment in many ways, and the media is full of propaganda from both sides. People need to take off their blindfolds and remember that it is your job as a human to filter facts from hullabaloo. Our job is to give you a break from all this warfare - We all are ONE, and we are all ONE!"

BIOGRAPHY: The tale of Graveyard Shifters begins in Kerava, Finland - where the band party and destroy everything in their path using the savage sounds of punk, rock 'n' roll and metal.
The Graveyard Shifters started in the fall of 2013 with singer J. Matilainen and drummer A. Salmenoja being abducted by alien invaders from the sky. Our heroes we're forced to return back to Earth and make a change to the nowadays 'polished music' that infects our planet from all corner of the globe. Their mission: to create new music to blow YOUR mind.
Soon Matilainen and Salmenoja had convinced the rest of the guys to join the Graveyard Shifters and, with a nasty touch, bring something real back your your sonic boosters whilst saving the greater good (they were also blackmailed with the threat of alien experimentation!)
This is only to be the begining of the Graveyard Shifters tale and their relentless lust for music and partying. Since their formation, within six months the band recorded their debut EP Brainwashed by Moonshine (2014) which self-financed by recycling the empty beer bottles from the rehearsal rooms floor... And now it's time to release debut album High Heels & Broken Bones (2015).
