Historia: Purkamo is pop/ rock band from Mäntsälä, southern Finland. Purkamo's story begins from year 2011 when Reckless – cover band before Purkamo - went trough some kind of crisis caused by playing motivation of cover songs. Reckless band lineup was Sape(vocals/guitar), Toni(guitar), Jari(Bass), Midi(Drums). In those days Toni's brother Teemu seemed to be interested to join the band as lead singer in august 2011 and that's how Purkamo was born (and Reckless retired playing). When Teemu joined the band he brought plenty many own song demos with him and band started to arrange them. Pretty soon band noticed that Teemu's song ideas and band playing style fitted pretty well together and motivation to play own material was high compared to playing of cover songs! With that lineup Purkamo trained a lot and did some gigs also. But in the year 2015 drummer Midi announced that he wouldn't be able to continue playing because of limited free time. Midi retired from band at 9/2015. Rest of the band wanted to continue playing so they put “wanted a drummer” -announcement to muusikoiden.net, Finnish website for musicians. Pretty soon one potential drummer named Jere replied to that announcement. After first training session it was obvious that Jere would be right man to sit behind drums of Purkamo. In the 12/2016 Purkamo recorded 4 songs in Pulu-Studio, Helsinki and new demo EP 'And When The Walls Are Falling Down' was released in 1/2017. It included 4 songs – Green eyes, And when the walls are falling down, Saturday and One day off. Also music video 'And when the walls are falling down' was released.
