Op:l Bastards was a Finnish band formed by Timo Kaukolampi (born 1971), Vilunki 3000 (real name: Mikko Viljakainen, born 1973) and Tuomo Puranen from Helsinki. Kaukolampi and Vilunki had earlier on played in the garage rock band Larry and the Lefthanded. Their original name was Opel Bastards, but they had to change it due to the pressure from Opel company.
Their music is categorised as electronic music. They are described as having "specializ[ed] in Kraut-baiting impenetrability." [1]
