The Perfect Trio
They are coming right at you. Gut-churning melancholy and face-melting energy their main weapons. Embrace the devastation known as Lapko.
The band has cultivated its frenetic sound for over a dozen years. Three guys, friends since they were kids in the small town of Harjavalta, have welded into a tight-knit unit. Every piece holds the others together. Lapko’s perfect trio of Malja (guitar and vocals), Nordberg (bass) and Heikkonen (drums) first pricked ears with energetic live shows. Then the release of the EP Your Special K.O. (Lapko, 2003) and debut album The Arms (Jukeboss, 2004) introduced a hungry band.
The music’s evolution from punk to explosive yet heart-wrenching rock still continues. The basics remain: sharp drumming and tight basslines are the steady spine with dizzying guitars and desperate vocals branching out like the nervous system. Second album Scandal (Fullsteam, 2006) took Lapko to number two in the Finnish album charts. The reputation as a fierce live band continued to grow in Finland, around Europe and in the US. Third album Young Desire (Fullsteam, 2007) added more depth and vulnerability to Lapko’s aggressive melancholy.
Since then the restless will to make sense of modern madness triggered these two art-school dropouts and one metal worker to make a statement of an album. The bold opening single I Shot The Sheriff with a video shot in Brooklyn leads the way to an album released throughout Europe in March 2010.
In July 2009 Lapko crossed the Atlantic and set camp in Woodstock, New York. Producer D.

The I Shot The Sheriff mp3 is very bad quality, I suggest that you get the wav. from their myspace because it sounds like it should. Otherwise it's a basic good Lapko song, I guess.
