-We have two guitarists. It would be quite stupid if both of us would just play the same stuff all the time. (Miika 1992)

-Take punk or grunge, it`s just a combinaition of clothing and hairstyles and stupid looking beards like yours...(Miika 1993)

-What? I had a moustache too, but I shaved it off because I looked like a gardener, says Mikko in his pointed beard. (1993)

-Our songs are not nonsense. They always contain a catch that can be captured in one verse, states Jussi. (1990)

-The main thing is to write a good song. A good song should be fast enough, and the lyrics should not make you feel embarrassed... it should also be so short that you donīt get bored with it before it`s time to blast off the next one. (Miika 1991)

-Q: So you are still young boys in your early twenties? A: Well, why don`t you take a look at the pictures on the album sleeve? (Miika 1991)

-I do my best thinking when I take a shower. (Miika 1991)

-The clever ones will get it. (Manu 1991)

-After all, there are only few songs on this new one (Irti), which reminds you about the first album. They are a bit longer than on the first one, and you get an impression that they are really real, good songs. (Jussi 1992)

-They are the same shit as before... the only thing that really matters is that they sound good and don`t make you feel embarrassed. (Miika 1992)

-Mari (a character in many Pojat songs) has finished partying. She has only two choices: either she dies or she becomes a booking agent. (Miika 1992)

-We can start writing songs about Mari`s daughter if Mari happens to die. (Manu 1992)

-The reason for having a girl as the main character in a song is that Marja-Leena (a girlīs name) is a better and more commercial name for a song than for instance Tapio (a bloke`s name).

-(Jani Viitanen, sound engineer) thinks that a producer is somebody who tells the band what to do in the studio and if the band refuses, he throws everybody out and hires new musicians in their place! (Miika 1992)

-I donīt like it when people talk about bands making progress. Usually when a band is developing, it means that it becomes boring. (Miika 1992)

-Thereīs a thin line between naive and naivistic song lyrics. Itīs very difficult to write simple lyrics and there are millions of three chord songs in the world, so itīs quite hard to achieve something original. (Manu 1992)

-When people reach a certain age, they start thinking that playing rockīn roll is childish and a stupid waste of time. (Mikko)

-Because thatīs what it is. (Miika)

-A real man donīt tell dirty stories and has no need to prove himself. Surprisingly we donīt tell these stories to each other even on the road. There are more subtle ways to let people know what you are talking about. Itīs obvious that you donīt hold the girl just by her hand, says Mikko. (1992)

-Playing fast is absolute fun in itself. Ne Luumäet (a finnish Ramones-style band) plays even faster than we do and even though I donīt always pogo on their gigs, I almost certainly tap my foot to the beat. This phenomenom rarely happens on a Edu Kettunen (a finnish Donovan type of a singer/songwriter) gig.

-Pasi is our multi-instrumentalist. We asked him to make the whole album alone, but he refused. (Mikko 1993)

-When we were recording Iso Kolmonen, the local pub owner said he would cook anything we wanted to eat... and when I went to the bank the girl at the counter giggled and said that I donīt have to show her any ID. So everybody in Kihniö (a very small village) knows what happens in the recording studio of mr. Sundqvist, says Miika. (1993)

-For instance, I started writing (Syksy) when my wife went shopping for food, and had it completed by lunchtime. (Miika 1993)

-We donīt speak figuratively in our lyrics. We try to express things in such a way that any normal person can understand what we mean. (Pasi 1993)

-In that spot when people put a minor on the third note, we leave that usually out. With this trick we get more kicks. (Mikko 1993)

-This is entertainment. The audience should have fun. Itīs not right to throw a load of shit on them after they have payed some 30 marks for the ticket, says Miika and points his finger at too serious artists. (1993)

-You canīt buy this band-thing with money, even if you had it. You just have to do it if you want that experience in your life. Thereīs no substitute for a gig. A thirtysomething stiff in a suit canīt have a clue what thatīs all about. (Miika 1993)

-If you are a carpenter and a good one, nobody is going to ask you when you are going to quit the business after you have turned thirty-five. (Mikko 1993)

-When musicians grow older, they start using more and more minor chords in their songs and writing bitter lyrics about human relationships. We rather quit than give in, assures Miika. (1993)

-The average mental age of the band is about 22, says the physically fortysomething twins. (1993)

-We donīt speak figuratively! (Miika 1993)

-I sang demoversions of all the songs (the Punk It album) and in Pelleīs (a finnish punk legend) songs I imitated him, tells Miika. Everybody was hysterical, we couldnīt stop laughing at the imitations. But when Pelle had recorded his vocals and came down to the control room to listen to the results, face all sweaty, nobody was laughing anymore. He did such a fucking convincing job that there was no humor in it at all. (1994)

-We donīt miss the old times. Itīs a good time now too and Pojat is doing all right. In fact, itīs better times now. For instance, we are not teenagers anymore. (Mikko 1993)

-The idea was origally mine (Punk It) and I stole it from Die Toten Hosen, who did the same thing with foreign singers, confesses Pojat -singer Miika. (1994)

-How we found him (Make, the new drummer)? We picked the first guy we saw in the audience wearing Converse sneakers, laughs Mikko. (1996)

-But I donīt know how to play. Except rockīn roll of course. (Make 1996)

-We used only chain saws before. Now we use other saws too. (Miika 1996)

-We have a certain audience that always come to see us play, no matter what trend is fashionable at the moment. During these six years, there has been all kinds of trends that nobody remembers after a year. We have been stubbornly doing our own thing all the time. (Miika 1996)

-Afterwards Iīve been thinking that maybe the Punk It -album wasnīt a smart thing to do after all. It was fun to record, but people started to connect us with the nostalgia thing and not paying attention to our current stuff, says Miika. (1996)

-We organized a big audition and chose mr. C. (Make Virtanen). (Mikko 1996)

-Itīs not fun when you go to the public swimming pool and somebody pisses in the pool.

-Especially if one pisses standing at the edge of the pool, so that you can see him doing it, specifies Mikko.

-Yes, or from the stand. The worst case is when somebody pisses from ten meters. (1996)

-This has to be the worldīs first punk record (Pure) featuring a world champion accordion player! (Miika 1996)
