About Me

Suruaika was a postpunk/deathrock band from Tampere, Finland. They started making music and causing trouble back in late 1997 under a different name and released their debut split with The Candles Burning Blue in august 2000. Since then their line-up has changed and they have recorded three albums. Their latest full length CD, Pelkäämme Vain Toisiamme, was released in march 2006 by Cyberware Productions. The band played their last gig in Tampere on october 26th 2007.
