Shadowthrone
Zombies Welcome
I love Moonsorrow. Great epic metal, there are some guys from Finntroll playing with them I think. Klamydia made a split Cd with a German punkband, Lokalmatadore, they're singing in german and Lokalmatadore finnish. Very funny stuff.
Antti Tuisku's new song: Juuret is great. Some peopel hate on Tuisku, but it's because they are ugly and Tuisku gets the women. And this song has clever lyrics, i hope Antti has written them himself.
I hate the fact that Finland is known as heavy metal music country. I hate heavy metal it's for losers in my opinion.. Well Maj Karma might be good and Kotiteollisuus.

For the rap/hip hop fans!
Redrama is very talented rapper (raps in english):
Best finnish rap song ever: (in EA NBA 07 Soundtrack)
And his new material is with some autotune sh1t
just leave it you know how to rap and even sing without that sh1t!!! (ps. Kanye West sucks!)
The second best Finnish rap song ever: Conscious Youths (Redrama, Paleface and CapeNape/Mr Singh featuring Promoe):

Metal such as Amorphis, Moonsorrow, Swallow the Sun, Finntroll are amazing but here some good non-metal from Finland.
Lapko - melodic indie rock (Mew meets AFI)
Asa - Best Finnish hiphop by a thousand miles.
Sibelius - The great classical composer
Viikate - tango rock... I guess (so good)
wow... I thought I was going to write a bigger list of music there, but in the world of rock, Finland is pretty weak. Wish Finland spawned a band of Sigur Ros/Radiohead caliber, but no.

Or maybe you just haven´t searched enough
Maybe some:
-Hanoi Rocks
-Rubik
-Joensuu 1685
-The Flaming Sideburns
-Disco Ensemble
-22-Pistepirkko
-Hybrid Children
-Sweatmaster
-Damn Seagulls
-Callisto
I don´t know has someone mentioded some good Finnish Reggae/Ska bands:
Puppa J - Lähiörakkaus:
The Capital Beat - Salty Fish:
The Valkyrians - Hooligans:
I find Mokoma to be above the rest these days, Stam1na has some great stuff too.
But how on earth has nobody mentioned YUP yet? Lyrically above anything else in the finnish music scene, and we have had some amazing lyricist (Juice, J. Vainio, P. Hanhiniemi etc etc). Martikainen is a genius. I do understand that the quirkiness of the music might be hard to sell but the guy is an awesome talent in making musical poetry.
Musically the most gifted band must have been Kingston Wall, but unfortunately their career was cut kinda short. But every time Kuoppamaki is behind the drums he elevates the whole song (like that Von Hertzen Brothers song linked earlier...good song).
And yeah I get the mention of PMMP in this discussion. I completely wrote them off after their first breakthrough but they revealed a completely different side on their next album, it was some scary good **** from two girls who met at a talent show and never made it through. They are serious artists, no matter what some people might say...it's more prejudice and not being able to admit you were wrong. It's like Britney Spears doing Oops I did it again and then turning into Tori Amos on the next album. Bad start with a cheesy suggestive song, but should not dictate the whole career.

Good point. The eye candy music genre deserves more representatives. Jenni Vartiainen should get the first honor:
And for something completely different...here's Don Johnson Big Band's new video "Running Man" featuring my sister in the very first clip. From what I've heard, the band has apparently dedicated this song to both Usain Bolt and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the gigs! I don't like the chorus, but everything else and particularly the instrumental part starting at 2:22 I consider quite magnificent.
