With this album the Helsinki-based band is a mix of all the best things about 1960's garage rock and pop: guitars jangle, the fuzzbox growls, Farfisa organ howls and vocal harmonies echo just like on the best records of the era. Beluga Records of Sweden will unleash “The Cartel & I" on online streaming services and 12” vinyl. The album was mixed to authentic perfection by Grammy winner Liam Watson of Toe Rag Studios, known for his work with Tame Impala, Billy Childish, Supergrass, Madness and The White Stripes among others.

The band consists of long-time members of the musical underbelly of Helsinki: Miikka Siira aka Mike Bell (Mike Bell & The Belltones), Pekka Laine (The Hypnomen), Ville Särmä (John’s Children), Samuel Abaijón (The Valkyrians) and Aapee Heinola (Hard Action). Here they come together to bring forth possibly the most melodic, energetic and moody garage of the 2020s. No moldy nostalgia or boring retro, but a distillation of all the key ingredients of explosive and timeless rock’n’roll - right here, right now!
