Perkele are a Swedish Oi! band from Göteborg. Following decades of activity and sold-out shows across major European cities and the US, some have dubbed Perkele one of Europe's biggest punk rock bands and an important part of the genre's evolution. Their sound has been described as punk with '70s/'80s heavy metal influences as well as elements of blues, jazz, and even classical music. The group have played at numerous international festivals, including but not limited to: Ruhrpott Rodeo ( (Germany)), Mighty Mighty Sounds (Czechia), the Rebellion Festival (UK), and Punk Rock Bowling (US). They have also been featured several times in the Maximum Rocknroll zine and were hosted by FC St. Pauli in 2003. Then lead vocalist and frontman of Booze & Glory, Mark Boozer, named Perkele as one of his top 10 favourite Oi! bands. The band members actually started out as punks drawing some inspiration from Swedish folk music, but gradually the Oi! and street punk genres started having a greater influence on their development and around 1997/1998 Perkele became skinheads. Despite their Swedish origin, perkele – the noun used for the band's name – is in fact a Finnish profanity. In a 2003 interview, lead vocalist and founding member Ron Halinoja cited his "roots in Finland" and the word's expressively vulgar nature as the main reasons behind choosing this for the band's name. Perkele claim to be strongly against all kinds of racism, nationalism, fascism, sexism, and homophobia as well as being opposed to hate, war, and environmental pollution. Due to the background of their bassist Chris as an adoptee originally from Sri Lanka, the band have at one point experienced racist abuse from the audience at a concert in Belgium.
