Finland's Sweatmaster display influences from AC/DC and Led Zeppelin to the Sonics and 60s garagebands. As a three-piece they fill the space between the component parts with hollering vocals, sometimes Robert Plant, sometimes Otis Redding sounding, simple, repetitive and brain-melting guitar riffs and drums with a primitive beat. The result is a controlled nuclear explosion of sound, sensuality and power, a perfect and inspiring garage record.

They take punk rock succinctness and sentiment, adding a bit of Grand Funk and the Sonics mixed with Sly and the Family Stone, and creating one loud, catchy album. This Finnish trio makes garage power rock, infused with soulful, catchy chops that you can shake your ass to. The upbeat, party music belies the fact that Finland has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. They're just three kids banging out short, driving, fun-time rock, creating tracks that ooze passion and lust.
