eurovision69 – eurovision song contest 2017 
Uuden Musiikin Kilpailu 2015 or how to screw up one of the best selections of the year !

It is very complicated to criticize the group Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät, which is not to blame anyway. This four-piece punk rock band was formed during a cultural workshop for the learning disabled. A documentary on the band, The Punk Syndrome, was released in 2012 and has won several awards both in Finland and abroad.

Aina mun pitää is for me a long painful cry I’m forced to hear. A lack of compassion ? Perhaps, but those willing to put it in mp3 should throw me the first stone…
Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät – Aina mun pitää
