This sampler should have been "Finland", but I only found 3 bands and a few tracks. So finally I added a Danish band and a Swedish band and I changed the name.

The first band, Drunken Troopers, is a Celtic punk band from Helsinki (Finland). They are 6 members and they intend to release their debut album soon.

  2. Hi,

    I've checked the orginal mp3 file and it seems to be OK. I've also open my zip file with winrar and I've got the same result. Apparently it is not corrupted

    I'll download the file that was uploaded to mediafire and will check if there was any failure during the upload. Stay tuned.

    I've just uploaded a new zip file and have downloaded it. Now it is fixed
