Finnish punk pop band Time Flies recently released a five-song EP, 'Back on Track'. You can check out the fourth single, Sceptical Me, below.

"Towards the end of the nineties, the band's musical style expanded from punk to more power pop. Sceptical Me is a song where the guitars ring out under a thumping drumbeat and the throttle is slowed down a bit. The lyrics, on the other hand, let it all hang out, and the zealots aren't saved from a sermon written by our late lead guitarist Olli" says Time Flies bassist Esa Linna.

Time Flies was originally formed in 1990-1997 by Olli Linna (vocals, guitar), Esa Linna (bass, vocals), Tomi Korhonen (guitar, backing vocals) and Kim Kannussaari (drums).

During their active years, the band released two self-released EPs and two studio albums, released by Kråklund Records, a label managed by the popular Finnish punk rock band Klamydia. Both EPs, as well as the 1994 mini-CD Bubblegum Punk and the 1995 release Happy Smile, sold out shortly after their release. The song Space Aliens from Happy Smile was also included on K-Tel's Punk+ compilation CD. Time Flies recorded an album in 1996 under the working title Pumporganbank, but it was never released. Olli Linna died in 2002.  Esa, Kim, and Tomi have been touring as a trio since 2013.
