The Ragged Saints is a Finnish hard rock band formed in 2011 by guitarists Tomi Julkunen and Toni Bite. After writing a bunch of songs they recruited like-minded singer Markku Kuikka, bassist Jukka Hoffrén and drummer Miikki Kunttu to start working on their first record shortly afterwards.
In 2020, after a few years hiatus, The Ragged Saints are coming back with an old-school ’80s hard rock influenced record titled Sonic Playground Revisited.
The Ragged Saints‘ guitarist and co-founder Tomi Julkunen hosts this week’s Guest DJ Show.
Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says. "My philosophy is to try to give all Metal releases a fair chance to get promoted in one way or another. As you can imagine, it can be an arduous task to listen through about 20 albums every week! Still, I know we have the best METAL dedicated radio on this planet, and that is a reward in and of itself. I hope one day the whole Metal community can and will make listening to Metal Express Radio part of their daily rituals! Yeah, right..."
