JMKE

Well, time to live up to the blog`s description once again. This time it`s a classic song by a classic band, Estonias very own JMKE with their breakthrough hit "Tere Perestroika". Until 1991, Estonia was a satellite country for the Soviet Union and punk really couldn`t catch fire under the watching eye of Soviets. Punk was very underground, and in countries like Estonia punk really meant something rebellious. JMKE was probably the biggest and most famous band there, and although the Militsiya and KGB constantly harassed them (and other punks), the band continued on and in 1987, delivered this classic song. I think it`s one of the best punk songs ever, political punk at its finest. It became a hit both in Estonia and here in Finland, much to KGB`s dislike. More information can be found here. BTW, Estonian is, like Finnish, Finno-Ugric language so no worries about understanding anything.
