Propeller (band)
Propeller is an Estonian punk band formed in 1978. Propeller were one of the first punk rock bands formed in the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic, which was still subordinate to the Soviet Union. The band achieved a deal of notoriety on 22 September 1980, when they were invited by workers from Eesti Rahvusringhääling to perform a concert at halftime at Kadriorg Stadium in Tallinn during a football match and after the game.

As the band was blamed for being the catalyst that sparked the riots, authorities forced Propeller to disband shortly afterward and all recordings held by Eesti Raadio were destroyed. Band members, however, had kept the original 1980 recordings and in 1995, their self-titled, only full-length album was released by Fugata Ltd. Line-up (other ban ...
