Tehosekoitin was a Finnish rock band formed in 1991. The band made mainly traditional rock 'n roll, but also incorporated jazz, blues and ballads.
History Tehosekoitin released their first three singles on vinyl, playing Finnish-style punk. After these recordings, Tehosekoitin changed their style to more traditional rock and made their first album Rock'n'roll (1994). They gained a nationwide profile in Finland in 1997 with their single "C'mon baby yeah", and went on to release several more singles.
The band translated their lyrics into English and toured Europe and the United Kingdom under the new name Screamin' Stukas, though the tour was not very successful. In 2002 they also released an album in English called A lotta rhythm, under the same name.
The CD single "Lupaan" (2004) became the last Tehosekoitin recording published, and the band played their last gig in August 2004. A reunion tour was announced for 2009. Singer Otto Grundström featured as lead vocalist on the single "Rakkaus repii meidät kappaleiksi" By the Finnish punk rock group Pää Kii in 2012. Another reunion was announced in 2019.
