Widescreen Mode is a Rock / Metal band from Riihimäki, Finland. They are one of the few Scandinavian groups that have gained significant international recognition before they have any official releases out. WSM has almost 40.000 registered fans on the world's largest online community MySpace.com, making them the 3rd most popular Finnish band online - right after HIM and Children of Bodom. Most of the fans are coming from the USA, UK, Australia, Germany, Japan and South America.

The group has been playing, doing shows and recording demos together since the early 90's. Drummer Janne Aaltonen and guitar player Janne Lahtinen shared a Thrash Metal band called Aggressive Influence already in 1989. Singer Samu Brusila and bass player Janne Stenroos joined the group in 1992 when Fairlane was formed. Because of some career decisions and guys moving around, the band wasn't active for few years in late 90's and early 00's. Aaltonen called the group back together in 2003. Everyone had been waiting for this all those long years and was so ready to give everything for the music again. The band was christened Widescreen Mode.
