Biography

Do you want to know what love is? (Foreigner)

Lapko will not show you.

BARE

What is love? (Haddaway)

Baby, this might hurt you.

In love you are as naked as a firstborn baby’s buttocks. You are vulnerable as hell. Who you love reveals more about you than anything. In love you are the man/woman you want to be. And nothing stands in your way. Until your heart is broken.

These three guys call themselves Lapko and hail from Finland. On their third album, Young Desire (Fullsteam, 2007), they nailed the relentless pressure pumping in their pants, which makes boys boys. Now the fifth album, ΓΟΛΕ (Fullsteam, 2012), gives a glimpse how those virile boys on the verge of greatness become thirtysomething men on the verge of nervous breakdowns. The time before they got together to make the record was one for naked reflection to figure shit out.

“We got to the point where we really had to think whether this is what we want to be doing. And we had to figure out if we can find the desire to do this from somewhere else than the girl standing in the front row - and it’d be easy to find it in her,” says Malja.

They felt like their backs were against the wall with the whole world was against them. They let out the rebel yell united against the world. And so ΓΟΛΕ grew from self-imposed isolation, which embraced all the twisted forms of love.
