Dead end 5

Dead End 5 was a hard rock band where the most important figures were songwriter and manager Kari Heimonen, and lead singer Annika Salminen, a woman with so much lung power that she reputedly broke a few microphones in the studio with her voice. Guitarist Rauno Melos was the hardest and loudest guitarist in Finland at the time. Unfortunately, the band weren't capable of handling nuances - subtlety wasn't part of their vocabulary. The lyrics were also generally horrible and often fell victim to censorship.
