Mitä helvettiä nyt taas – Tässä kylmässä kaupungissa (single)

img_0030

Mitä helvettiä nyt taas is a new Vaasa-based guitar pop group and they just released their debut single Tässä kylmässä kaupungissa. The band might be new, but you might know the members Timo, Andy, Ove and Paati from other great bands such as The Sugarrush and The Lieblings. If you’ve enjoyed anything I’ve done here at onechord.net over the past 15 years, you probably should send them a thank you note, because these boys and the music they made in the late 90’s and early 00’s were a big reason why I started this site back then. Unfortunately I haven’t had the chance to praise them that much over the years, because they haven’t been the most active musicians at least when it comes to releasing the material they’ve written. I’m already on the verge of quitting and I’m still waiting for the first The Sugarrush full-length to actually come out during the existence of this blog. But hey, now is not the time to convince them to release the unreleased The Sugarrush albums, because we have a new song out and available from their new group and it’s mighty good. Mr. Ken Stringfellow also plays guitar on this awesome pop song, if you need some extra motivation to hit that play button right now. Such a brilliant song.

Christian Lee Hutson – I Just Can’t Fucking Do It Anymore (video)

This week hasn’t been good for humanity. We lost Leonard Cohen, one of the finest songwriters that the world has ever seen and Donald won with that awful hate-driven campaign. In fact, this has been like the darkest nightmare and relating to the title of this new song I Just Can’t Fucking Do It Anymore by the great Christian Lee Hutson isn’t very hard at the moment. It’s a really beautiful song though and if there are actions that it evokes within me, it isn’t quitting. It is to do, to love, to love hard. It’s always love, hate will you get you every time like Nada Surf used to sing. I Just Can’t Fucking Do It Anymore is a brilliant song and I’m very much looking forward to the next Christian Lee Hutson full-length. The fact that I never wrote about the previous one still haunts me, because I have it and I love it.

Caleb Klauder & Reeb Willms – Innocent Road

img_0029

This has been a bit of surprise favourite for me. I didn’t know Caleb Klauder or Reeb Willms before I hit the play button, but they sort of instantly won my heart over. Innocent Road is a truly enjoyable album and no matter how brokenhearted it gets, I keep on smiling all the time. Old-fashioned country duets with sweet harmonies and vintage country sounds. Both originals and classics. The song below is their version of There Goes My Love by Buck Owens that might well be my favourite moment on Innocent Road. Whole thing is great though. Traditional American country music done right.

Viljami Kukkonen has a new music video for the song Joko lähdetään. It’s an outtake from his 2015 album Jos rakkaus tapahtuu, which was my favourite Finnish album of that year. Jos rakkaus tapahtuu is a finally getting a vinyl release as well. So if you didn’t purchase a copy just because you don’t care for those compact disc thingies anymore, there are no reasons to hold back now. The album is gorgeous and there will be a special church concert to celebrate the vinyl release of it. It will take place at Finlaysonin Kirkko, Tampere on the 11th of November. Check out Viljami’s FB for more information. Here’s the new video for the song Joko lähdetään. It was directed by Teemu Niukkanen.
