I've had the first album by The Findells, 1983's "The Radiators Are Bleeding," for twenty years or so but didn't know they were still around until this album came out.  Though I've always loved that first one, "Finland" is even better!  Picture David Thomas of Pere Ubu crossed with Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits on vocals and excellent, stinging lead guitar fronting an intelligent, adult rock'n'roll band with some hard-edged new wave leanings and you've got The Findells.  BTW, if you like this album (their third), seek out the aforementioned first album and their second, "Naked & Blue" (which I found after extensive searching since I love "Finland" so much!).

A girlfriend told me this was one of her favorite CDs.  I was skeptical.  Two weeks later it was in my player at home, in my car, and iPod.  I was hooked. Great music, incredible energy, smart lyrics, and no hype- very infectious.  (Now I'm going to invite her over to vacuum my bedroom.)

This is a fun cd. It's perfect to listen to while gardening, taking a bath, driving in the car, having coffee, fixing dinner, checking email, taking a walk, and many other things. But you should never, ever listen to it during jury duty, that would be inappropriate.

I just saw these guys (and one girl:) perform live tonight and they were wonderful!  The energy was palpable and it made me want more!  Get this CD and any other that you can get your hands on, and then go see the show, you won't be disappointed.  Promise!
