E114 A Conversation with Niko & Joel of Blind Channel

This week, we're scratching The Itch to head north! We've got the
most streamed rock band in Finland with us to kick off a new
recurring interview series: Itch International! Blind Channel
made waves in 2021 after appearing on Eurovision, leading to
their song "Dark Side" receiving over 700,000 Spotify streams and
over 12 million YouTube views. Earlier this year, they embarked
on their first ever US tour alongside From Ashes to New and Fire
From the Gods, and now they have their sights set on the rest of
Europe. Listen to hear vocalists Niko Moilanen and Joel Hokka
explain their reaction to one of their idols hearing "Dark Side",
the best ways for a traveler to experience Finland, and the part
of US touring that haunts their dreams to this day. Enjoy!


Also, The Itch has a sponsor! We're partnering with our own
podcast production suite, Zencastr, to offer listeners a 30%
