In a relaxed phone conversation with Jonsu - lead singer of Finnish all-girl sesnationВ INDICA about the band forthcoming studio album 'A Way Away' (26 June), produced by Tuomas Holopainen of NIGHTWISH, Jonsu faced the following question on Tangra Mega Rock:В 

SINCE YOU ARE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS AND COLLEGUES WITH TUOMAS, WHY DIDN’T HE THINK OF YOU REPLACING TARJA INSTEAD OF ANNETE OLZON?
Oh, it wasn’t even an option. I have never even talked about it with Tuomas, but anyway he knew I have my own band and it would be impossible, so we’ve never even talked about it.

BECAUSE YOU ARE SIMPLY PLANNING TO GET EVEN BIGGER THAN NIGHTIWSH?
No, ha ha ha. Tuomas and I, we are both composers and composers need their own band. I don’t know what could have happened with the mixture Indica and Nightwish. We both like to compose and maybe it would be a fight, ha ha ha.
