Virtanen - proto-punk from Finland

Virtanen was a very weird band, and seemed even weirder back in the days when there was no punk. The band existed from 1974 to 1976, and made a lot of noise. Back then, there wasn`t ANYTHING like them in Finland. Their music was at the same time very avant-garde, but still rocked hard and their stage antics were crazy. They were like the finnish Stooges, but more humorous and freaky. Now they are considered proto-punk legends here.
Elektroninen Xtaasi has been covered numerous times by various finnish punk bands, and it`s a classic.

Kansan Uutiset

REALLY fast, REALLY out of control and REALLY angry finnish hardcore from the golden era of the early 80`s. KFTH has some information of the band here, but although the site predicted that we won`t hear about them ever again, they actually DID play at the annual Puntala punk festival this year. Drunk out of their minds, of course.

New layout yay

Much better this way. And the changes don`t stop there. Unfortunately my disk quota exceeded a few days ago, so I had to remove some of the early posted songs. So if you want the tracks, contact me and I try to upload them.

Mellakka

Mellakka was an awesome hardcore band from the mid-/late 80`s, with a very powerful sound and attitude. Easily one of my all-time favorites, so I decided to post (in my opinion) their best track "Kiitollinen Kansalainen", the opening track from their Itsenäisyyspäivä EP (1985). Almost all of their material is top class, so if you`re interested, check out their EP`s from 7inchpunk.

And btw, here is a link to a music video of the song. And check out their great site --->HERE<---, including a lot of information and pics. And make sure to try to get your hands on the R.I.P Recordings 84-86 Collection, it`s essential stuff!

Wasted

I`m pretty tired right now, and I`ve gotta read to couple of exams so I`ll make this one short.
Wasted is a great band, probably the most well known in the current finnish scene. Visit their site --->HERE<--- and check out some of the MP3`s and other stuff.
