Punk Rock Discovery Elukas Presents “Laika” Lyric Video

Leave a comment
Punk rock bombs Elukas proudly presents their latest lyric video for the track “Laika,” taken from their critically acclaimed EP “Loomad Koos,” reissued via Wormholedeath.
Check out “Laika” lyric video here:

“Laika” narrates the poignant story of the iconic space dog, highlighting her innocent journey from a normal existence to the cosmic unknown as she was propelled into orbit in 1957. The song encapsulates the tragic tale of Laika, reflecting on her unwitting heroism and the inherent cruelty of her role in a scientific experiment devoid of her consent.

Exploring profound themes of innocence, sacrifice, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding the utilization of animals in scientific endeavors, “Laika” provokes introspection into humanity’s moral responsibility towards other creatures. The track contemplates the ethical implications of subjecting living beings to scientific experiments without their comprehension or consent.

ELUKAS
In the fall of 2021, Elukas began as a 5-member punk-rock band with a focus on creating their own music. They played their first concert on March 25, 2022. In May, they recorded 3 singles at Sinusoid Studio and held a writing camp at the drummer’s summer house. In late summer, their original bass player left, and singer Karl took on bass duties. In the fall of 2022, they released three singles at monthly intervals. “Ajurünnak” gained recognition on RockFM and Raadio2. Due to an injury, Alan filled in on bass and later joined permanently. In February, the band recorded their debut EP “Loomad Koos”. The single “Vein” (April 7, 2023) made it to the top 5 best new rock songs by RockFM listeners. Most recently, Elukas graced the stage at the Barbar Feast 2023 festival, where they kicked off the event as the opening act. They also rocked the crowd at the Heavy Music Estonia Showcase Day 2023.
Elukas Lineup:Alan Urva – Bass / Backing Vocals

Finnish punkroll band UGLY PUNCH released their second single and music video Cool Sunglasses. The track is taken from their self-titled debut EP due to be released on February 22nd by Secret Entertainment. 

WATCH Cool Sunglasses music video: https://youtu.be/32kYqBeXx7U 

Music video for the first single Bad Boy is available here: https://youtu.be/xIA4CN6cNoc 

The band comments:
” Cool Sunglasses is a more upbeat track than the previous single, which moves forward with a strong groove. (Of course!)

This song doesn’t go for the fancy stuff either, but keeps it simple but through the UGLY PUNCH filter of course. 

The lyrics of the song tell it like it is. 

“You may have all the superficial shit, but I’ve got something you don’t.” 

You can see the content as it’s simply stated, or you can see it in more depth. Everyone can choose. But either way. It’s worth picking up this second single now, because there’s more to come! ”

UGLY PUNCH is a band with roots in groovy rock and punk music. I guess you could say a kind of “punkroll” sound with a personal touch. This gang was founded in 2023, but they all have a long history in music. Our base is a great space in the middle of the forest in Tampere.

The goal is to keep our music accessible and something that is easy to get under your feet. Also, that there’s a certain good vibe about what we do and that we don’t take ourselves too seriously. 

Nevertheless, we do this with all our heart and soul.  
The first self-titled ep will be released in early 2024. A full-length album is also planned and will be released in the coming year. 

Line-up:
𝘎𝘶𝘳𝘶 𝘚𝘶𝘬𝘳𝘢𝘮 – 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳 & 𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘴 
𝘚𝘭𝘺 𝘖𝘮 – 𝘥𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘴 
𝘝-1-𝘗 – 𝘴𝘢𝘹𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦 
𝘕𝘪𝘯𝘢 𝘉𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘳 – 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘴
