Gim Kordon - "Betoni kukkii"

Photo by Pia Koskimaa

I'm going to have a hard time typing Gim Kordon and not Kim Gordon here, but that's the point of the name, right? Helsinki based group Gim Kordon have a new single that is going to appeal to fans of their semi-namesake. "Betoni kukkii" has the feel of early Sub Pop Records. It a festival of sludge, reminiscent of early Soundgarden, The Melvins, and Tad. It features a veritable wall of buzzing and whining guitars crashing down on the listener. Yes, it's absolutely glorious. But, as all great bands from that era had, there is something almost catchy here. "Betoni kukkii" isn't pure noise rock. Instead, it's loud, huge, noisy rock.

Singer-guitarist Aleksi Pahkala says of the song: “Betoni kukkii is a story of how often life growing up in the suburbs is a roll of the dice, a struggle and trying to get by, but also of how a sense of community in even the roughest areas is so often the only thing that provides a sense of security."

You can listen to "Betoni kukki" below. The single is available now via All That Plazz. For more on Gim Kordon, check out the band's website.

  2. I was diagnosed with the HERPES virus and I have tried everything possible to cure myself, but all to no avail, until I saw a post in a health forum about a doctor preparing herbal medicines to cure HERPES virus, at first I doubted it was real, but decided to give it a try, when I contacted Dr.Ishiaku on whatsapp (+2348180828544) and he prepared medicine and sent it to me with the help of DHL delivery company, when I received this herbal medicine, he gave me step-by-step instructions on how to apply it, after applying it the way they directed me, I was totally cured of this deadly disease called HERPES, all thanks to Dr. Ishiaku
