Song of the Day 6/9/09

We do the top 666 songs of alltime countdown every day here to keep the front page fresh regardless of whether or not there’s something new to report (and there is – tons of album reviews, interviews and more waiting in the wings, stay tuned). Tuesday’s song is #414:

Sielun Veljet – Turvaa

One of the most innovative bands of the early 80s, these wild, scorching Finnish rockers imbued overtone-laden PiL-style noise-rock with murky Nordic tonalities. This one screeches along on a darkly distorted, snapping bassline. The title sarcastically means “saved.” Best version out there is on their 1983 double live album, long out of print, although there are mp3s out there. The link above is a torrent of the band’s first three albums.
