This is a complete surprise and I never heard of them and they exist since 1975 as Punk was still in its infancy. The Sleepy Sleepers were founded in Lathi + the band released 19 albums between 1975 and 1989. Sakke Järvenpää and Mato Valtonen were the main members of the band, later they founded Leningrad Cowboys. This is their debut album and here's a brilliant mix of Rock'n'Roll classics, nice ballads and fast dirty punk tunes. They describe themselves as a rock band and maybe they are so on their other albums Sinulle Äiti kicks the shit out of me and for the mid-70's they were surprisingly far in terms of a rough sound. What they sing is beyond my knowledge but their lyrics must not always family safe - it's written their records were banned on Finnish Broadcasting Corporation. This is not always bad, right?? Enjoy thirteen tracks of this exceptional combo.
