Kurnuk is a Finnish-written fanzine that specializes on rock, pop, garage and punk from the indie/underground perspective not totally unlike Bucketfull Of Brains, for example. All writers are passionate music fans, do NOT get any money for writing and know what they're talking about. The editor-in-chief is Miettinen, Finnish punk and indie's grand old man (he'll probably kill me for sying that…well, let's say he a grumpy old man with too many records) who also runs a cool-cool radio show called Räkärodeo in the Finnish national radio.

The publishing pace seems to be about one issue every six months, but there is a team of specialists working on trying to get more issues out more quickly. Let's see what happens.

Rhythm Barrel loves to write about pop, powerpop and americana for this mag, but will also gladly review any kind of new and independent rock and pop that is sent to the Rhythm Barrel address (linkki osoite-sivulle!). You can also always get the latest issue of Kurnuk from Rhythm Barrel, it's 20 FIM or the equivalent of US$5 postpaid anywhere.
