Problems singles on vinyl – Hokkus Pokkus new single from Mara Balls

Problems’ single collection is the first in a series of Finnish punk rarities

Problems Singles 1978-1983, created by Tumppi Varonen since the 1970s, is the first part of a series of Finnish punk and new wave singles on vinyl.

Nowadays, these once commonplace singles can cost up to thousands of euros each, so for most people the only way to get them home on vinyl is through reissues.

Packaged in gatefold sleeves and printed on pink vinyl, the collection comes with full information and commentary on the songs by the band’s founder, Tumppi.

After Problems, the Finnish punk & new wave singles collection will feature Pelle Miljoona, Eppu Normaali, Woude and Sehr Schnell.

The first part of the collection is dedicated to the memory of Problems’ founding member Ari Taskinen. The series is published by Stupido Records in collaboration with PNV Records in the US.

Tumppi Varonen & Problems will celebrate the release of the collection by playing their special old songs at Paasitorn’s Pääsiäispunk event on Sat 30.3.

The compilation CD will be released in a couple of weeks.

The CD comes with bonus singles:

Hokkus Pokkus, the new single from Mara Balls

“When I was a kid, the idea of magic was something like making wings or a room full of candy. Now that I’ve been alive for quite a long time, I dream of different things like forgiveness and peace of mind. I don’t believe that you can conjure those things into your life, but instead I firmly believe that singing about worthy things helps you move towards your dreams.” -Mara.

Tumppi Varonen & Problems

Tumppi Varonen started the band Problems with Ari Taskinen already in 1977. At that time, the band was a trio. The line-up has changed over time, but the sound has remained authentic and beautifully jagged.

Dozens of records have been released over the years with hits such as:
“Ei tää lama päähän käy”, “Katupoikien laulu”, “Tapan aikaa”, “Raitsikka oot”, “Mun tie”, “Maanantaina”, “Ei mulla oo elämää varten kaavaa”, “Soita paranoid”, “Valontuoja”.

Now in 2020, Problems will be touring again with the album “Outoja kiksejä” released in the autumn and with a good mood. The setlist also includes songs from Pelle Miljoona & 1980 and Oy such as “Tahdon rakastella sinua”, “Älä äiti itke” and “Lanka Palaa”.

Tumppi Varonen & Problems will soon be unloading new material on the record, so head on with new and old hits.

Current lineup:
Peevo, guitar (Flaming Sideburns, Balls, Clifters)
Kaide, drums (Ne Luumäet, Rehtorit, Pojat)
Heikki, bass (Automatic Eye)
Tumppi Varonen, vocals and guitar (Pelle Miljoona 1980, Oy, Rockers, United)
