The roots of Suuntaus were planted in 2007 when Sakari Rossi and Topi Utriainen were in bar of Pihkuri in viitasaari. The duo began playing in Viitasaari's youth house TALO. Then Matti Muittari and Esa Pöntiö joined and the band were taken to the business. Now there's five members in Suuntaus since Akseli Wiik began to sing and write lyrics. Suuntaus released its first demo in spring 2008.
