PUSKII!:
Puskii! have added some songs from their upcoming album Sun sydän paukkuu ku bassorumpu to Soundcloud. I still love these. For example this song called Mä haluun bändin is just so good. Simple but perfect. Check out three others on their soundcloud.

Review: Epilä – Avohakkuu
Epilä: Avohakkuu (Terra Recordings, 2010)
Epilä is a band that I would like to love to more than I actually do. There aren’t too many guitar pop bands singing beautiful harmonies in finnish and when lovely people form such a band, one would really like to shout their name from the rooftops. Unfortunately I can’t because I have to be honest and admit that I haven’t totally fallen for their debut album Avohakkuu. It’s certainly not a bad album by no means. It’s actually a good album, but somehow the overall sound is a bit too cloudy for me and it just doesn’t have enough exceptional moments like the second single Pyhäkoulu. Maybe I just had hoped it would sound more joyful, because I know how well these guys can sing. Despite these minor issues, Avohakkuu is still a fine debut and I have high hopes, that one day they could deliver something that would match Egotrippi’s finest moments.
News: Epilä feat. Mr. Jon Auer: Thinkpol
Jon Auer (The Posies) singing Epilä’s song Ajatuspoliisi. Pretty cool don’t you think. Even cooler is the fact that The Posies will make a new album later this year.
Epilä: Pyhäkoulu (music video)
New Epilä music video. The song Pyhäkoulu is the second single from their debut album Avohakkuu. Oh and the video contains some great cameo appearances from the band members..
