The Hurriganes
I couldn't find a clip of Red River Rock by Johnny And The Hurricanes, but while I was searching for it, I found these guys, The Hurriganes. Apparently they are some Finnish band from the early 70s. Their live stuff is obviously ripping.
I downloaded some of their albums, but it seems like their sound can't be captured properly in a studio. Most of their stuff seems to be covers, not sure if this next song I Will Stay is a cover or not, but it's fucking amazing.

Choice one bro!
Since you've introduced me to joy of Finnish rock, may I be so bold as to recommend some songs that have given me aural pleasure as of late?
Kiss Shite Hoshii (I want you to kiss me) + Linda Linda:

Owaranai Uta (The Neverending Song):

Gizagiza Heart no Komori Uta (The Lullaby of the Jagged Heart) by The Checkers:

or a live version including a bonus shit song:

Unfortunately the quality of these clips isn't exceptional, and it would appear that all of The Checkers other songs are terrible. Oh, and I take responsibility for the lame title translations.
i think you might like these finnish punk bands:

you need to do more shit talking here, like you do in YWS. anyway both are great blogs!
Thanks for the comments guys!
As far as shit talking like YWS, I have huge aspirations for this blog, but they're all in my head.
Regular features, podcasts, all of that. Unfortunately YWS keeps me waaaaay too busy. I feel like even that takes up too much of my time as it is.
But who knows? One day maybe I will be a semi-internet-famous music blogger as well!
Just search youtube for Hurriganes and you will find several cuts. The band has published over ten albums and several DVD:s with tons of music. Welcome to the family.
