Ginger Evil began as Moonshine Inc. in 2005, in a rehearsal room in
Helsinki, Finland. After a couple of years of rehearsal and composing, a
fruitless search for a singer meant the songs were put on ice.

​

Meanwhile, guitarist Tomi Julkunen and bassist Veli Palevaara continued
gigging in Finland with The Milestones, including arena shows with Deep
Purple and Whitesnake. In the aftermath of their fifth album, those
Moonshine Inc. songs from a decade back emerged from hibernation, so
the search began again for a vocalist.

​

The powerful voice of Ella Tepponen was known to Tomi and Veli from
many theatre and music projects, and drummer Toni Mustonen was already
familiar to everyone. Jamming together found a shared musical passion,
and a group creative process soon flourished. Ginger Evil was born.

​

“From Foo Fighters to Fleetwood Mac," is how the band hears their music,
with singer Ella bringing a whole new kind of twist to their rock expression.
Everything was coming together. Music producer and film director Richard
Stanley, known for his work with The Who heard demos of Ginger Evil and
was inspired to write lyrics.

​

In early 2022 Ginger Evil signed a deal with Deadfall Artist/Band
management and a half year later with Frontiers Music Srl. (Def Leppard,
TOTO, Whitesnake, Journey). For recording the debut album “The Way It
Burns” Ella brought in Teemu Aalto (Insomnium) as a producer, who also
handled the final mixes with final mastering by Grammy-nominated Svante
Forsbäck of Chartmakers (Rammstein, Volbeat, Sunrise Avenue,
Apocalyptica).

​

The band’s debut album, titled “The Way It Burns” will be out in 2024.
Organic and fresh sounding album is something that the rock fans have
been waiting since the 90’s; something familiar, something new, something
that gets their asses shaking once more!

​

Now the band is ready to kick off a new chapter in the bold story of rock
and roll. "We already have some surprising twists and turns in our back
pocket," the band grins mysteriously.
