Lapko - Not Your Son
16th September, 2007 by Chewbacca
When a band is described to me as “it’s a bit like Coheed and Cambria; it’s a bit like Mew, but so much more” - you know I’m there! Although I’ve chosen a song that doesn’t exactly represent too many similarities to the aforementioned bands, you will notice the styles in some of their other tracks. Lapko is a Finnish band that formed in 1996 and is described as “alternative rock” - but once again, genres fail us here - there’s subtle hints of prog, indie, and basically just a unique feel that can’t be easily put to a few categories. Today’s track is taken from their latest 2007 album, “Young Desire”. If you like it, you should also check out the “Scandal” album. For now, here’s “Not Your Son”:
