"Lapko is a Finnish alternative rock band from Harjavalta, formed in 1996. Lapko is notable for its popularity in Finland, having received "radio play, explosive concerts, and voluminous critical accolades" even before releasing its debut on a well-known label, according to Allmusic.

 

Their first EP, Your Special K.O. (2003) was self-released. Their debut album The Arms (2004) was released by Jukeboss, but then they were signed to Fullsteam Records and albums Scandal (2006) and Young Desire (2007) saw them gain fame in Finland, reaching the national albums chart."

So, I'm sure some of you have heard about this band :) I was on their gig yesterday, and I fell in love with them even more!

Yeah, boys have said that they don't like Spotify :confused:

boys don't want to be so well known then :confused:

 

btw about the logo it remind me of some shops we have here.

Yeah...

 

Btw, in Finland many people buy Lapko's t-shirts and bags even though they don't like band's music at all. The logo is much more popular than the band :)

hehe, that's curious.
