Vienna 2015, 60th ESC 40 For 40: Pertti Kurikan Nimipaivat "Aina Mun Pitaa"


The reviews for the 40 entries for Vienna 2015 continues in my '40 For 40' series. Up next is my review of Pertti Kurikan Nimipaivat, or PKN (pictured), with "Aina Mun Pitaa" (Finland).

"Aina Mun Pitaa" has to be the shortest ESC song I've ever heard, and is worth it. Awesome hard rock piece. Everybody knows when it comes to Finland, they love their metal and rock. Remember, Lordi won in 2006, and Terasbetoni finished top five (or ten?) in 2008. Alternative rock group Softengine made the grand final last year in Copenhagen. This will win it all. You heard it first. See them in their first semifinal performance on May 19, and for those who thumb down this one, go fuck yourself. Enjoy more awesomeness from a country which has produced some of the best in ESC within the last decade (a major exception: 2013, which was garbage and should've never made it), if you want to throw in Waldo's People and Pernilla Karlsson among others. We'll see.

Up next: Lisa Angell "N'oubliez Pas"
