Helsinki based Octopie is a unique sounding group that brings the best of progressive sounds up to date. The band's distinctive sound wells from their urge to craft the sound with their own principles.

In 2010 when two friends were discussing music, it's current situation and it's future and they realized: even today, in this cold, modern age there is still room for good and authentic progressive rock that truly comes from the soul. 

They developed this idea and the next year they spent composing material that took a lot of influence from the golden era of progressive rock of the 70's and the psychedelia of the 60's, and added a breath of fresh air and new ideas into the mix. They started gathering a group that felt equally about the music and would be willing to hop on and take part in the journey to come. In 2011-2012 they found a solid line-up. They started recording their debut album, 'Fresh from the Oven', which was released in summer 2012 with high praise. They started playing at local venues in Helsinki and received lots of positive energy and feedback that would keep the group pushing forward. 

In 2012-2013 the group wanted to exceed the expectations of their fanbase. They founded their headqurters in an old cabin in the beautiful woods of Kuninkaanmäki where they started writing, rehearsing and recording new material for their follow-up release. From these sessions emerged their self-titled EP, Octopie EP.

Soon after releasing their EP, they started working on a concept album, The Adventure of Harry and Walrus Kane, that eventually took two years to finish. In the meantime the group founded a studio and a music production company called Khatru Music, through which they released their album. The future looks very bright for this talented group of musicians and only time will tell what the future entails.
