J.M.K.E.

J.M.K.E. (Estonian: Jeesus Maria! Karjatas Eit, translated in English as Jesus Mary! Exclaimed The Hag) is an Estonian punk rock band formed in Tallinn, Estonia in 1986 during the Soviet occupation. The band consisted of original singer, Mati Pors, who left the group soon afterwards, leaving Venno Vanamölder on drums, Tarvo Hanno Varres on bass, and Villu Tamme on vocals and guitar, sometimes working together with guest singers (with Tõnu Trubetsky from Vennaskond playing under the name "Vürst Trubetsky & J.M.K.E."). The group's lineup has changed over the years, including Tarvo leaving the band to join with fellow Estonian act Röövel Ööbik.

Peel discovered the group when the band signed with Finland's indie music label, Stupido Records, who would send regular vinyl to him. The band were regularly playlisted by Peel on his shows between 1989 and 1990, before losing interest in them. Peel's Record Collection: J had the band's 1989 album Kylmälle Maalle, which in English translates as To The Cold Country.
