Classic Finnish Rock is a genre of rock music that originated in Finland in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is characterized by its heavy use of electric guitars, often with distorted or fuzzed-out tones, and its reliance on blues-based song structures. Classic Finnish Rock is often seen as a precursor to the more popular hard rock and heavy metal genres, and is often characterized by its raw, aggressive sound. It is also known for its use of traditional Finnish folk instruments, such as the kantele and jouhikko, as well as its incorporation of traditional Finnish folk melodies. Classic Finnish Rock bands include Wigwam, Tasavallan Presidentti, and Eppu Normaali.
