'''Suomen Talvisota 1939–1940''' was a provocative Finnish rock band in the years 1969 and 1970. Their only album is called ''Underground-Rock''. Lyrics for the band were provided under pseudonyms by [[M.A. Numminen]] and the [[Turku]] poets [[Markku Into]] (under the pseudonym Taannehtiva Seuralainen) and [[Jarkko Laine]] (under the pseudonym Lauri Kenttä, a reference to [[Superman]]'s alter ego, Clark Kent). The name of the band literally means "The Finnish [[Winter War]] 1939-1940". They are widely considered a founding band of Finnish rock music, starting the careers of Numminen and [[Rauli Badding Somerjoki]], influencing artists such as [[Juice Leskinen]], and even serving as early precursors to the Finnish punk scene.
