poptimistsThe theme for this week's edition: girls rocking out w/ added costume capers!
Irina: Kymmenen kirosanaa
Phax phile: one of Finland's most popular female artists, sold platinum several times, innumerable hits, etc. Partially owes a debt for her breakthrough to super-popular group Apulanta's frontman Toni Wirtanen, who co-wrote much of her debut album. (Am uncertain as to his involvement in later albums, as have rather failed at the keeping up.)
This one is from 2006, title translates to "ten cursewords"; it's pretty much about loving someone even though they drive you totally up the wall. A sentiment I can get behind! It also has one of the most awesome middle eights EVER.
TikTak: Sankaritar
Phax phile: have been around since '99 and long been one of our premiere girl groups. A couple of albums back they started taking a somewhat rockier bent, and by the last one (which turned out the actual last one, since they broke up late last year) they'd pretty much gone all out in that direction. The above is the lead single off said last album, from 2005; title translates to "heroine" (SEE WHAT THEY DID THERE).

Date: 2008-04-19 05:42 pm (UTC)And because I apparently love flinging about youtube links, here, have a selection from their singles history:
from the Finnish version of Friends
Minne vaan
(and just for the heck of it, the original version of Don't Turn Back, Lopeta -- I think this version is more effective, probably because they're performing in their first language innit)
from 2001 album Jotain muuta (regular + platinum editions)
Häiritsen sinua
Jää
from Ympyrää
Lähdetään tänään
Tänä yönä taivaaseen (their officially first rock-out single!)
Tuuleksi taivaanrantaan
Heilutaan (ska influence!)
from 2004 rarities/live collection Hei me soitetaan... oikeesti!
Rannaton
and from their career-wrap-up singles collection last year
Mutta mä rakastan sua
