The Fair Attempts release brand new single ‘Blue Rose Park’ – check it now!
(Photo by Ville Nieminen) Out since today, and immediately added to our Spotify playlist, is the newest single by the Finish dark-wave act The Fair Attempts aka Friendly Timo. The new single “Blue Rose Park” acts as Valentine’s Day surprise. You can expect a darkwave song about the love between two people who used to carry each other through hard and dark times.
“Blue Rose Park” is the first single from The Fair Attempts’ upcoming LP and it already reveals a hint of the wide range of musical sounds present in the new album, from this ballad to industrial blues and of course the powerful and energetic industrial rock The Fair Attempts is known for.
“Blue Rose Park” is indeed the first song by The Fair Attempts with a softer sound featuring vocals by Friendly Timo’s wife, Starwing: “We wanted to share our own story with this song a bit. We met for the first time in a dream while we still lived on the other sides of the planet. Meeting for the first time in our waking life, we recognized each other and the rest was just pure magic.”
Timo further adds: “The story is true, but dressed up to an abstract world that further deepens the concept and the world of The Fair Attempts. It has become a time to celebrate love, the journey and the story that we share together. In the spirit of that, we wanted to share our own story and highlight the fact that the one who is longing for love is going to find it sooner or later, even from the darkest of places. And it is so. We wish you all happy Valentine’s Day!”

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
