Finnish female-fronted rock sensations Ginger Evil unveil today their new single, "Not Your Fool", along with an official video, available below. The track is taken from their debut album, "The Way It Burns", out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band stated: "We've entered the songwriting phase for our upcoming album, but to celebrate our very first shows in Germany, we wanted to drop a video for "Not Your Fool" from our debut record. We believe our music is always relevant - especially to those hearing it for the first time. Maybe this will open the door for new listeners into the world of Ginger Evil".
"Not Your Fool" is more than just a song; it's our final word to the games, the cheating, and the people who mistook our patience for weakness. We're scraping the past off our boots and starting a blaze that will burn through the night - turning the debris of a broken relationship into the fuel for our future. See you at the shows!", they added.
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. Once the band got together and songs were taking shape, on board jumped music producer and film director Richard Stanley, known for his work with The Who and John Lennon, heard demos of Ginger Evil and was inspired to co-write lyrics.
In 2022 Ginger Evil signed a deal with Frontiers Music Srl. (Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, TOTO, Whitesnake, Skunk Anansie). Debut album "The Way It Burns" was released on February 14, 2025. Organic and fresh sounding album was something that rock fans had been waiting for since the 90's; something familiar, something new, something that got their asses shaking once more!
