About Oldschool Union
Oldschool Union was formed in 2009 by Seppo Ahlstedt and Janne Vilen, The duo performing exclusively in Finnish, embedding the concept of “sisu” – a Finnish term denoting resilience and determination – into their music.
They self-released their debut “Vanha Koulu” in 2009, featuring tracks like “Rasistit, fasistit” and “Grillibileet”, and launched their first full-length album “Älä Ole, Elä!” in 2012 on the now defunct EK Product label.
In 2016 “Perjantai” was released followed by “Vartalovasara” in 2020. That album introduced the new vocalist V-M Pekkola since singer Janne Vilen had left the band after the release of “Perjantai”.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
