Here's a dozen

First, just last night I saw these guys play live, and they were in as good a shape as ever I'd say. Legendary Finnish alternative rock.


Alternative / progressive rock from Finland. Song is about the fear of growing old and facing it with your loved one. Love the video.


This band was from Sweden. Still great stuff. Folk with an edge.


Finland's #1 rapper IMO, also sampling folk music.


Someone posted Der Kommissar, which reminded me of these guys, who covered that song. Industrial metal.


This guy is one of the most legendary Finnish artists. Still kicks ass. (Finns might be interested to hear this version, it adds some lyrics to this famous song.) Somewhat Tom Waits / Johnny Cash.


My favourite alternative pop artist. Song is about a firebomb in a supermarket and the resulting societal lockdown / NWO.


An artist from the same label. Varies from low-key twisted first person stories from the dark side of the human mind. And then they can put out amazing rocking grooves. And sometimes it's both at the same time. One of the best live acts I've ever seen, and I've seen a few.


This guy managed to turn reggae Finnish, while staying true to his Finnish roots. Good stuff.


This is my favourite rock lyricist. Classic Finnish rock / pop.


Legendary Finnish avant-garde / post-rock band. Often instrumental. (Video is unofficial.)


And here's the great, great flamenco artist Vicente Amigo. An amazing virtuoso and a true original. From Spain, unsurprisingly.
