Биография

1977 – 2001 Loose Prick was formed in fall 1977 in Kouvola. The original lineup was P.Johansson: vocals, Archie B: bass, T. Leinonen: guitar, J. Kylliäinen: guitar, Honey E: guitar and T. Ranta: drums. In summer 1978 the band continued with the new 4-piece lineup. Their debut single Mua potkitaan päähän/Velton nimeen released in early 1979 and it's a pretty good opening. In the late 1979 Kaupunki EP was released, showing major improvement in their skills. The next single Yöt ympäri/Lupaukset onnellisista lapsista recorded in January 1980. The single is one of their best. In the spring of 1980 they started recording songs for an album – Valkoiset sotilaat. The album title tracks is truly among the best Finnish punk songs: with great lyrics, and that one alone should have lifted Loose Prick to one of the top new wave bands. In April 1981 the band were already recording their second album, Etkö rakastaisi. The album can hardly be labeled punk rock, but there's no reason why it should be, as it seems that the band had found its own style. So, after a good album, the future must have looked bright? Of course not, in general everything seemed to be against them. The end came in 1982, the same year their most confident release, the last single Jäätynyt hymy/Viimeinen tanssi kadulle was released. Surprisingly enough, Loose Prick made a brief comeback in around 2001. The re-recorded Kaupunki EP and released the compilation, called Likaisia enkeleitä, valkoisia sotilaita.
