Haloo Helsinki! - Huuda

For some reason, I've recently been drawn to Finland when on the lookout for new pop music. When I think of Finnish music, the first thing that pops into my head is dark, symphonic goth metal. That's still their specialty, but there's a burgeoning pop movement happening right now as well. Haloo Helsinki! are a rock/punk band who have been around for a couple of years, but they're really riding high with their fourth album, Maailma on tehty meitä varten. It's got a definite 80's/early 90's pop influence, and that's most apparent on the brilliant single, Huuda. You don't have to speak Finnish to enjoy this. From the monster beat to the bright production to the singalong hook, it's incredibly easy to love from the get-go.
