Biography
STARTING THE BAND

When teachers at a comprehensive school in a small town in central Finland tried to make 11-year-old Sammy study in maths and geography instead of his overwhelming interest in acts like W.A.S.P, Motley Crue and Hanoi Rocks they intentionally left out the fact that another kid named Eliaz - on another class next door had exactly similar interests

Private Line was originally formed in the mid-90s by Sammy, guitar-player Jari and some of their school mates. Eliaz the kid in the block. erm.. at school some years earlier - joined the band shortly after meeting Sammy at a house party. They soon came to notice it was not only music they shared in common but found themselves interested in the overall wisdom of Rocknroll Decadence as well. Private Line won a band competition and used the prize money to record and release their first EP in 1998. The material on Smooth Motions combined hard-rock influences and fierce rhythms. The band started touring and went through some line up-changes. The new line-up including Sammy, Eliaz, Jari, Spit and Illy recorded a 5-song promo-CD which got quite nice response, especially from outside of Finland. Despite of the good reception of the Promo-CD, the year 2001 was uncertain time for the band Jari left the band and joined Finnish metal kings Timo Rautiainen ja Trio Niskalaukaus and Sammy moved to Helsinki Rock City and was soon after followed by the rest of the band. In the beginning of 2002 Sammy bumped into Jack (ex- Palm Cut) while exploring the nightlife of Helsinki and they decided to join their forces and breathe new life into Private Line.

The band started intense rehearsing period and went on to record new kick-ass material. In December 2002 Private Line released a new Mini-CD Six Songs Of Hellcity Trendkill (released by Bad Habits/ Krklund Records). The Mini-CD got rave reviews from the Finnish rock media and also many international print- and webzines were enthusiastic about these Finnish newcomers. The band did a 40-show tour in Finland and created a fanatic fanbase. Private Lines loud as f**k mix of 80s sleaze and early 90s alternative punk was now starting to make bigger and bigger waves. The lead singer Sammys vocals, stage presence and showmanship was more than often compared to the likes of Vince Neil (Motley Crue) and Sebastian Bach (Skid Row).

HITTING THE CHARTS

The title of the full-length debut album "21st Century Pirates" (released by Bad Habits/ Playground Music) tells a whole lot about the band, their music and their attitude. They have practiced piracy by borrowing and stealing the most essential elements from their childhood heroes and turned it into their own 21st century modern sound. After touring Finlands rockn roll harbors for two straight years they went straight to number 3 on the finnish Top 20 single-chart with "Forever And a Day" in February 2004. The single also included an original soundtrack Sleep Tight of the movie Levottomat 3. Second single and the video song (filmed by Los Angeles based Thomas Hencz) 1-800-Out-Nowhere came out in Finland on the 30th June 2004 and hit the single chart at ..4. The video stayed the full 10 weeks in the MTVs Up North video chart. The great success continued with the 3rd single Already Dead making it too to the top 5 single-chart.

PIRATES TOUR AND THE FUTURE

After the 21st Century Pirates was released in Finland (Bad Habits Records), Japan (JVC Victor), Italy (Edel Italy),Russia (Playground) and Ukraine Private Line tour took the band to Italy, Spain, England, Sweden and Russia.

The band also got the great honour to play with the bands like Motley Crue, Alice Cooper and D-A-D.
