AFTER GRINDING IN the Finnish scene for eight years, Blind Channel exploded onto the world’s stage when they entered Eurovision in 2021. Their self-dubbed “violent pop” song, Dark Side, reached No.1 at home and charted internationally, and the band finished the contest in sixth place. After two years of touring the world, Hammer caught up with vocalists Joel Hokka and Niko Moilanen to find out what lies in store with new album Exit Emotions.
