Playboys

High-energy funk-rock and ska-punk from a young Finnish band before they turned to the shadows. Bright brass, slap bass, and pure 90s adrenaline.

It's the Rasmus before they got sad, sounding like they're having the time of their lives at a funk-punk house party.

A high-octane, sun-soaked burst of teenage energy that prioritizes rhythm and fun over atmosphere.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The frantic slap-bass intro of track 11 that pivots into a reggae-inflected groove.

The sudden, bright brass stabs that interrupt the distorted guitar riffs on track 6.

The raw, unpolished energy of the live versions that close the record.
