The Punk Voyage

The Punk Voyage chronicles the remarkable story of Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät (PKN), a Finnish punk band that left a significant mark on music history before their retirement in December 2016. Over their seven-year career, they performed nearly 300 gigs across 16 countries and gained international recognition, including a spot in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015, where they reached an audience of over 100 million.

This documentary spans 100 minutes and offers an in-depth look at the band's highs and lows, showcasing their journey through fame and the pressures it brought. Personal conflicts arose within the group as they faced the challenges of success, from Kari's struggles with publicity to Pertti's decision to retire due to the strain of their lifestyle. The film's tagline, "a smelly journey full of tears and laughter," reflects the authentic experience of the band members as they remained true to themselves amidst the chaos.

For collectors, The Punk Voyage is available on DVD, making it a tangible piece of punk rock history, and it serves as a testament to the band's impact on both Finnish culture and the global music scene.
