Eppu Normaali is one of the most quintessential rock bands in Finnish music history, often revered for both their witty lyrics and catchy melodies. The band was formed in the small town of Ylöjärvi in 1976 by brothers Martti Syrjä (vocals) and Mikko Syrjä (guitar), along with their friends Juha Torvinen (guitar), Mikko Saarela (bass), and Aku Syrjä (drums). Inspired by the punk movement, Eppu Normaali started off with a raw and energetic sound but evolved over time into more melodic and mainstream rock, becoming the soundtrack to many Finns’ lives.

Throughout their career, spanning over four decades, the band has released numerous albums and compilations, with "Ratina" and "Mutala" being among the most notable. Eppu Normaali's concerts, such as the "Klubiotteella" series of live releases, illustrate their longstanding popularity and the unique connection they have with their fans. Despite taking long breaks between studio albums, their music has remained a staple in Finnish culture, resonating with multiple generations. Eppu Normaali's legacy in Finnish rock is indisputable, and their influence is seen in the way they have perpetually managed to capture the nuances of Finnish life and sentiment in their songs.
