Lama - Lama

Fakten Lama, established in Helsinki back in 1977, is one of the best known Finnish hardcore punk bands, and was one of the first bands to push the punk sound of the 70's into the hardcore sound of the 80's. While other Finnish punk bands like Terveet Kädet and Rattus became better known outside of Finland, Lama has always been one of the foremost hardcore punk bands, if not THE foremost hardcore punk band, inside Finland. One of the main reasons for Lama's lack of popularity outside Finland is that they emerged comparatively early and their records went out of print quickly, were not exported, and of course no one ever sells their original copies. Now, 14 years after Svart's previous vinyl reissue, this highly influential record from 1982 will finally be available on wax again, as it should be.
