Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

And yet some more favourites of mine: Antti Tuisku - Hyökyaalto Lassi Heiskanen - Sut tahdon kokonaan Haloo Helsinki - Maailman toisella puolella Manna - She moves Antti Tuisku needs no presentations but Lassi Heiskanen is a total newcomer. Haloo Helsinki has provided one of the biggest summer hits with this song off their third success album. Manna is a Finnish-Algerian singer, songwriter, model and actress and has already released three albums as well and could be the closest thing to Kate Bush we have here - at least in this video.

Everybody knows HIM , The Rasmus , Nightwish and Lordi but how about Husky Rescue , Turisas , Tracedown , Murmansk , Manna , Joensuu 1685 , Jori Hulkkonen, Finntroll , Disco Ensemble , Free Spirit , Le corps mince de Francois ( LCMDF ), Lapko , Stalingrad Cowgrils , 22-pistepirkko , Swallow the sun , Villa Nah , TV Off   or Shogun Kunitoki ? Ok, I don't know them either but they are the biggest Finnish bands abroad claiming praise from the critics - Husky Rescue's laters album got 5 stars from Daily Telegraph and Times featured it as the album of the week in Britain where almost 2.000 new albums are released weekly - and are doing the clubs and festivals. The Finnish music export was in 2008 over 23 million euros when in 2007 it was around 19 million. Very indie rock and heavy metal oriented. Let the Swedes do the pop! :-)
