about
Pelkotila was founded in in autumn 2013 when Aleksi Roitto (drums) and Otto Trygg (vocals, guitar) sat down in Pub Aleksis K. in Helsinki, Finland. Aleksi approached Otto saying that he would want to start a crust punk band musically close to Tragedy and From Ashes Rise - to play dark, rocking crust punk filled with small but powerful guitar leads. Otto had exactly the same idea, and a couple of songs written to begin with. At a very early stage it became clear that the lyrics for this band would be in the members' native language, Finnish. The lineup was completed in no time as Niikka Lius took up the bass and backing vocals. Kim Lappalainen started as guitarist, but was later replaced by Kalle Kuosmanen. With this lineup the band recorded their first self-titled 4-song EP, 100% DIY at the band's rehearsal place. Release date for the MC version has been set to September 26th 2014. Vinyl TBA.
