The band is Peer Günt, a veteran of the “hard’n’heavy” style which is aging well as an excellent wine. Their newest release, Buck The Odds, is out now and it rocks!

Peer Günt (joyfully deforming the name of that fine opera, Peer Gynt, by Edvard Grieg) are a trio from Kouvola, Finland. The line-up includes charismaticTimo Nikki (vocals and guitar), Pete Pohjanniemi (bass) and Sakke Koivula (drums).
They started in 1976 and became famous in the late 80’s with albums Peer Günt (1985), Backseat (1986) and Good Girls Don't... (1987). They play an energic and catchy rock’n’roll with a strong bluesy background, although Motörhead’s influence is very strong. Frontman Timo Nikki is the charismatic element of the band, with his gritty and powerful voice singing about typical rock themes: “on-the-road” ruthless life, smoke-filled bars, rock’n’roll, easy girls, …
Apparently the frequent recalls to “Old American style” is related to the “frontier-like” region where these musicians come from in Finland.
Well, years pass by but these guys still know how to raaaawwwwk!
