About Me

PRUSIKOUKKU IS BACK. HURRAH!
This is a band that everybody likes. These cult heroes from Finland are back after couple years of taking it easy. And these lads are better than ever...Check out the tunes and witness the joy, beauty, rage, virtuosity, calculated stupidity, rawness, power, intelligence, originality and laughter present in this music.
Check this out...
Something that's been said over the years:
"Bands that can revitalize a form don't come along every day, but these guys have managed it effortlessly..."
"He (Ville Kangas) rocks like a wild man, holding his own even with the stormy guitars and drums. And do they get loud! There are couple of genuine rock anthems in this album..."
"Guitarist SonJohn is able to introduce into Prusikoukku's music virtually every form of electric guitar sound, and the powerful tandem of drummer Marko Möttönen and bassist Jussi Petäjä combine the funk fusion, and raw rock energy of King Crimson's Tony Levin and Bill Bruford"
"Prusikoukku has become one of Finland's best live bands. While they retain their ties to traditional music, the group incorporates enough tape loops, samplings, and synthesizer washes to give them a thoroughly modern sound."
