Widescreen Mode (commonly abbreviated as WSM) is a heavy melodic band from Riihimäki, Finland.
History
Widescreen Mode’s members are no strangers to playing together, the four-some originally formed the band Fairlane until career decisions in the 1990’s forced them to split up and move on. When drummer Janne Aaltonen and singer Samu Brusila both moved back to Riihimäki they began discussing the possibility of forming another band. But, in the words of singer Brusila they were just that; discussions. Finally Aaltonen’s fiancé intervened; tired of hearing them discuss it but never do anything about it.
The band was once again together, and in 2005 they released a demo EP and soon were playing important festivals and shows both in Finland and around Europe, supporting bands like Paradise Lost, the Cardigans, Anathema, and Die Krupps. In 2006, Widescreen Mode made it to the final round of the MTV-E unsigned competition out of 1,700 competing bands. Since then they have amassed 60,000 fans worldwide on MySpace and rank among the online community's four most popular Finnish bands along with HIM, Children of Bodom, and The 69 Eyes.
Widescreen Mode's debut record Until the End was mixed by Anssi Kippo, who has engineered gold albums for Children of Bodom and Finnish Idol winner Hanna Pakarinen.
On 7 July 2007 they performed at Live Earth.
