KLAMYDIA - Pää Kiinni Painajainen 1992

First post this year and honestly, I didn't miss it. Real life has a lot of hold on me right now and it's more important than music (who knew?). I don't want to say much either, it is what it is and of course the blog will continue, the theater isn't closed, it is just being renovated, lots of cool records waiting for their appearance, so stay tuned. Let's continue with Klamydia (Chlamydia), a Finnish combo which founded 1988 in Vaasa and the band's name was chosen because it was the worst word coming to their mind. They always been renowned as a humour-band, but they have a lot of songs criticising society, and other songs about serious subjects, like incest as well as love songs. The band's history is characterized by a multitude of changes in the composition of the members - only singer Vesku has been a member of the line-up continuously since its founding - but also by a tirelessness that has so far led to twenty-four albums and a total of well over three hundred songs. This is their third album which came via their own label Kråklund Records and was recorderd by Vesku (vocals), Vuokko (guitars), Shitsi (bass), Riku (drums). Musically, they write short melodic pieces, and I mean there are only two types of Punkrock from Finland dominant: blatant Hardcore and melodic Ramonesque sound. Klamydia tend towards the latter, but every now and then flashes of aggressiveness, not for wimps. And they're still demonstrating it live, check out when they're coming to your city.
