Radiopuhelimet ("Radiophones") is a Finnish alternative rock band formed in Oulu in 1986. Their style, though varied through the years, could be described as a combination of hardcore punk, noise rock and progressive rock. Besides from performing as a band in a regular sense, they are also known for having contributed in theatre from time to time.
Links to Peel[]
Peel had a copy of the band's single in the late 80's, which he played on his show. On his 14 November 1988 programme he proclaimed that the band's debut album, Rokkiräjähdys ("Rock explosion") was nearly the best non-English language album of the year. He would continue play material from the group until late 1991 and after his death in 2004, it was later found out that he had the band's first two albums in his Record Collection: R.
