New Estonian punk is boiling over. A colourful group of bands with overlapping members – Skoone, Avemaria, O.V.M., Keskkool and Spekter – resemble 1980s American West Coast punk (Black Flag, X, Germs, Minor Threat, NOFX and The Cramps, among others) more than the staple acts of our Singing Revolution era. At the heart of this scene are young musicians such as Kalli Talonpoika, Riste Sofie Käär, Fredi-Methos Miller and Villu Tamm.
