Finnish punk rockers Van Dammes are having a blast in their new EP Risky Business. Never mind that one of songs is called I Don’t Like Music Anymore. It's obvious that they still love churning out loud ans fast songs. The Helsinki based band won't win any awards for musical inventiveness, but will receive high grades for entertainment value.
Plenty of fuzz, locked-in vocals sharing, some politics, but above all energy. They never changed their formula - four EPs and counting - and why should they? Play loud and enjoy.
Van Dammes:
Ilkka Hildén: bass
Markus Kujawa: synth, vocals
Jussi Roine: drums
Juho Talja: guitar, vocals
Risky Business is released thru Rockstar Records (vinyl, digital).
