A "stylish" futu (as New Romantic/Futurist Pop was called in Finland) band Stressi, hailing from the town of Imatra, were successful at the Finnish Rock Championships, subsequently releasing a couple of singles and one LP on Finnlevy's sublabel Kräk. Stressi started in 1978 as a band trying to play progressive rock, but inspired by Kraftwerk, Devo, Human League, Gary Numan and David Bowie, by the early 80s their style had changed considerably. On their stage shows Stressi wore black overalls (Devo's had been yellow) and their faces had heavy make-up. They even had their own light show and regular stage crew. However, after a promising start Stressi's activities started to fade soon, since it was hard to get gigs and operate the band activities from the small town of Imatra, and by 1983 Stressi had reached its end.
