The Sound of Finnish New Wave

"The Sound of Finnish New Wave" is a glimpse into the edgy, stylish, and slightly wild underground of Finland in the late '70s and early '80s. This playlist captures the punchy energy and raw experimentation of the country's new wave and post-punk scenes, pulling together essentials like Ratsia’s driving "Lontoon skidit", the anthemic "Moottoritie on kuuma" by Pelle Miljoona Oy, and Sielun Veljet’s intense "Peltirumpu."

You'll also hear a mix of sharp rock attitude and synth-tinged pop from acts like Hassisen Kone, Eppu Normaali, and Dingo, while deeper cuts from Kumma heppu & lopunajan voidellut, Belaboris, and Pyhät Nuket showcase the more angular and artful side of the era. Whether it’s gritty street tales from Problems, melancholic melodies from Yö, or swaggering punk energy from Maukka Perusjätkä, this playlist lays out the restless spirit of a generation that didn’t want to follow the rules.
