Sometimes, a band forms without as much as a single hiccup. Other times, it takes some trial and error to get things rolling. The latter is what happened with Tommi Tikka and Antti Autio’s pop-rock band, The Impersonators. A former member of Finland’s now defunct Carmen Gray, Tikka was looking to start a band on his terms.
