Let’s shift our attention for a moment to the Finnish capital Helsinki, where Hon (lead vocals), Pekko Mantzin (guitar, backing vocals), Kupe Wessman (guitar, backing vocals), Bryan Ugartechea (bass) and Sirpa Immonen (drums) deliver punchy pop-infused punk rock with their band Bad Valentines. Their debut EP Memory Tattoos is more than worth the trip, four energetic songs with powerful vocals, melodic riffs, high voltage hooks and catchy choruses, delivered with raw emotion. Hits that stick like ink on skin.

The Memory Tattoos EP, produced by Petri Majuri and Sammy Aaltonen, is out now digitally (self-released).
