Asked if they were ready for the fame, during an interview in 2012, Satellite Stories’ Olli-Pekka Ervasti responded: “You never know how the music industry goes, but reaching the fame is not the thing for us.” Six years later, in my opinion, the band didn’t achieve the fame they deserved. After ten years, five albums and one last upcoming European tour, the Finnish indie band splits up.

But Satellite Stories go out with a bang. The bonus track on their final album Cut Out The Lights has now been released as their farewell single. The Fame is the kind of up-tempo pop track we’ve come to know from the band, as danceable as ever. Fame at last!
