22-Pistepirkko is a delightfully quirky Finnish alternative rock band formed in the late 1980s by brothers Asko and P-K Keränen, along with Espe Haverinen. Hailing from the tiny village of Virolahti, their sound blends garage rock, blues, and pop with a playful, experimental edge, earning them a cult following in Scandinavia and beyond. Known for their absurdist lyrics, twangy guitars, and P-K’s raspy vocals, they’ve released over a dozen albums, including recent eclectic drops like *The Kings of Hong Kong* (2021) and *Rumble City Lala Land* (2019). Tracks like *Suburban Ladyland* and *Ufo Girl* showcase their knack for mixing surreal storytelling with catchy, off-kilter grooves. While they’ve flown under the global radar, their decades-spanning career cements them as Finland’s coolest musical oddballs—a band equally at home crooning about lime-green DeLoreans or serenading imaginary cities.
