In the handling of two rock musicians, gospel classics come to life in soulful and raucous interpretations, paced by a tight band and an angel choir. The eight-member ensemble performs music from the albums Tales of Judge Bone (2015), Knucklebone Oscar – Judge Meets the King (2018) and from the gospel album Believe It or Not, which will be released in September 2022.
“The songs may be borrowed, but the attitude is my own – and sharp!”Tuomari Nurmio is one of the most respected musicians in Finnish rock. The artist’s album From the Grave to the Grave was chosen as the best Finnish rock album of all time in Sound’s critics’ vote.
Knucklebone Oscar, real name Oskari Martimo, is a Finnish guitarist-singer. Oscar’s music represents rock ‘n’ roll and rhythm ‘n’ blues.
In 2018, Tuomari Nurmio and Knucklebone Oscar joined forces and released an EP worth of interpretations of old gospel songs. Now the pardoned pelimanni are again on a joint “hellish and heavenly long journey”, which will escalate into the album Believe It Or Not, which will be released on September 2 via Stupido Records.
“Our project started by chance at Jätkäsaari’s Weird Antiques divar, where Oscar and I probably met in 2017 and recorded four songs. Somehow it felt like a whole album was being made right away. Financially, this kind of freaking out means digging into your own pocket, but it was done out of love for the sport. Then time is never wasted,” Judge Nurmio says about the initial stages of the collaboration.
