If you’re a musician in Finland (or Suomi as the Finnish themselves call it), then there’s a 90% chance you’re doing a subgenre of metal. The other 10% are doing Rock and other heavy genres though so it’s really almost guaranteed that every artist from over there can rock. In the case of the Finnish band Mardi Tickle though, just knowing how to rock isn’t enough. Their latest single “I Don’t Need A Guitar” is a top-tier anthem that should have been sent to represent Finland in the Eurovision song contest, in my opinion.
The track begins with a supercharged bass playing along with amazing drums during the verse. The leading female vocals are gonna energize you once the lead vocalist begins her opening lines, and the gripping attitude of the song will keep you hooked throughout its four and a half minutes duration.
The strength of the bassline proves that these guys really “don’t need a guitar” to rock and be amazing. And further proof exists as we reach the amazing solo section here. This is the moment I knew that this song is phenomenal indeed. The last chorus is sung in a higher key than the ones before it, consolidating the idea that the vocalist is a goddess who can carry her own weight and that these guys can rock like no other with their “no guitar” methods. I’m really not gonna spoil the many surprises this song has got…but all I’m gonna tell you is that this is gonna be a song, unlike anything in your playlist.
