Huvi!

During their twenty plus years, Finnish punk band Klamydia have released a number of albums, but none as great as 1991's Los Celibatos. You will undoubtedly fall in love with the band's catchy pop hooks, rollicking sing-a-long (in Finnish) choruses, and the extremely charismatic rasp of singer, Vesa "Vesku" Jokinen. This is a really fun record and if you have doubts, check the cover, that's a picture of the band on a flume ride. Perkele Hauskuus!

  1. this band is great. I love the late 80's/early 90's finn scene, very overlooked stuff in there like Raygun, Brutal, HIC Systeemi, Rhytmario, etc! Keep up the good work Aesop!

  2. Wow, thank you much for this post! I had a very excellent tape a while back called 'Viking Invasion', and I loved the Klamydia track. Didn't know about their extensive output. Thanks again! -Joe
