Mummypowder Bandcamp page is open! 🔥 To celebrate our 25 year journey, we rummaged through our cupboards, and – well, the point is, there's 20 previously unreleased tracks: demos and alternate versions, outtakes, acoustic demos, live performances, etc. included on these releases!
Sara's Song single (+ a bonus acoustic version)
Centuries Later (Deluxe Edition) (2011)
Consternation? Uproar? (Demo Versions) (2004)
V. Strange (Deluxe Edition) (2003)
Headcleaner (2020 remaster) (1996)
Some of the gems include an outtake from 1999's The Heavyweight Champions titled "What's Gonna Happen", an early live favorite that ended up unfinished in the studio, as well as an energizing power pop version of German Shepherd from Centuries Later, on which it sounded somewhat quirkier.

There are now some very cool T-shirts available with Mummypowder logos on them. Winters get cold in Finland, so you cannot ever have too many of them, you know. Posters available as well!
All the shirts are made of 100% of recycled textiles. Go shop!

One Quart Magazine features a fantastic write-up by Nick Triani on the new single, the band's songwriter Janne Lehtinen, a recounting of what turned out to be (at times) a rather gloomy experience of recording the debut album "The Heavyweight Champions", and tells about his enduring friendship with the band's members.
