Jermaine

Since the band biographies are usually way too long and mostly non-informative, I'll try to keep this short, okay? Great. Jermaine is the prodigy offspring of young Sunny Day Real Estate and drunken Jimmy Eat World. He was raised in foster care by At the Drive-in and Jonah Matranga, lost his virginity to Tori Amos and finally married early Weezer. We are that guy. We are Jermaine.

Finntroll

Finntroll is a finnish troll metal band that combines black metal and Finnish polka, called Humppa. Although they are from Finland, Finntroll's lyrics are in Swedish (the country's second official language), because Swedish sounds "damn trollish", according to the band's first vocalist, Katla (whose native language is Swedish). History Finntroll was founded in 1997, by Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta (R.I.P. March 16th 2003), guitarist of Impaled Nazarene, and Jan "Katla" Jämsen.
