"High And Low" is a package of melodic heavyrock from Finland. Exception To The Rule (abbr. ETTR) is definitely a band that kicks ass... The roots of ETTR are firmly in 70's and 80's heavyrock (such great bands like AC/DC, Accept and Scorpions).
The band was established in 1986, in small community in the middle of Finland. First line-up consisted of two brothers (Markku and Ari-Pekka Mähönen) and their two neighbours (Mika Repo and Tuomo Mähönen). Before calling themselves to ETTR they had two band names by AC/DC songs: "Riff Raff" and "Rising Power".
The present line-up was formed in 2008 when Juha "Juhis" Arikoski joined the band as a lead vocalist. Actually Juhis was found from a karoke-bar called Pataässä (Ace of Spades) in Helsinki. The previous singer Jaakko Kauppinen was visiting Pataässä while Juhis was singing there Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody - it really impressed and convinced Jaakko so very much that he kicked himself out as a lead singer and gave the place to Juhis. Nowadays Jaakko plays base-guitar in ETTR. Other ETTR members are Markku Mähönen (guit), Mika Repo (guit) and Tuomo Mähönen (drums).
Besides the "official" members there has also been a number of visitors in ETTR who has put their talent to ETTR's music - for example legendary Bon Scott's bandmates Peter Head and Mauri Berg.
Most of ETTR songs are composed by Jaakko Kauppinen, Markku Mähönen and Mika Repo.
