Nopat, The Wonderminers & Beacon St. Radiants

Your blogger made a huge mistake, went to nostalgic mode and installed CM 01-02 back to his computer. If you know the game, you are aware that it has a tendency to destroy one’s social life and take control of all your spare time. While I’m trying to quit and become more active blogger, you can listen to these great bands below.

Nopat, The Wonderminers and Beacon Street Radiants have all added some new songs to their myspaces. They are wonderful bands and eventhough these are only demos or unfinished mixes, they sound bloody great to me.

Viola

A few months ago Viola decided to stop releasing physical records and started Viola Music Club where you can download or stream everything they have ever done. They didn’t stop making music though. Instead of physical releases they release one new song every month in digital format. June’s song is called A Decade and it’s musical and lyrical retrospective of the first 10 years of Viola.

Next wednesday 3rd of june is also Viola’s day and that means an annual Viola’s day festival takes place at Semifinal Helsinki. This year it has the same idea as their song of the month, to celebrate Viola’s first 10 years and they are dedicating a set for all of their three main albums.

Puumaja’s debut album Meriselityksiä out now

It’s been a long time coming, but now the wait is over and Puumaja’s debut album Meriselityksiä hits the stores today. It’s released by Quiet Life Records and it contains 9 great songs. Okay, if I’m honest I should say that it contains 8 great songs, because after a few spins I haven’t learned to love the song Punaiset Seinät. But it could be just me and probably is. And even in my case, if 8 out of 9 songs hits my heart, I have to say that it’s rather excellent accuracy. Well done. Watch the video of Meren Kutsu below and check out more samples on their website and/or myspace.
