T. Nikki & Co. had found the recipe: " Slide blues based hard rock ‘n' roll with the speed of an express train ". Their first album bearing simply the band name "Peer Günt" was released in 1985. All the songs on the album were ready made before entering the studio and recorded live with the exception of some of the rhythm guitar and vocals. The album was recorded in a studio which was built in an old outdoor sauna in the middle of the Finnish country side with the temperature being closer to + - 0 C degrees inside . However, with a whole lot of raw energy and the right kind of attitude anything is possible, (even though the producer T.T. Oksala wasn't too keen on the place in the beginning). Consequently, the album tells what Peer Günt's world is made of. Featuring the songs "Fuck the Jazz", "Bad Girls", "Wild Women", "Big Tits" etc. The opening track "I Don't Wanna be a Rock ‘n' Roll Star" has always been the motto of the members of the band. To quote the beginning of the song:
She don't like bumbing around....Backseat of a transam
Tsöötz and T. Nikki, 1986 (Soundi '86)
"Swaggering guys like Kansas city fags/ sucking their cheecks like hungry shads/ if that's a look of the rock 'n' roll there's something wrong /I know the business will take a part of me, in sunshine dreams I do not believe/ but there is one thing I wanna say it never kills my blues /I don't wanna be a rock 'n' roll star/just wanna play my honky guitar/I don't give a damn to fortune and fame/ just wanna do this in my own way".
The release of the debut album was followed by intensive touring around and across Finland with some 150 gigs in dance halls, bars and at almost all of the summer rock festivals. In addition, both readers and editors of the leading Finnish music magazine (Soundi) ranked Peer Günt as the best "new comer" of the year. Needless to say, their debut album was a welcomed package, which sold really well. Soon, Peer Günt was known as the wildest, loudest and simply the best live act ever in the history of Finnish rock ‘n' roll. Consequently, in 1985 the band even got to taste their fair share of the " little girl boom of the eighties " when playing at some summer festivals. The band was rather amused by it but did afterwards admit that seeing little girls crying after them, banging on the tour bus made them think of quitting...
In the end of 1985, Peer Günt went into the Euros studio for the second time to record a single. But why make a single if you can make it a mini album? So, the legendary "Through the Wall" mini–album featuring songs as "She was Here for the Rock ‘n' Roll", "Red Chevy", "Loosing My Mind" etc was released. The length of the album was 5 songs as a vinyl and 6 songs as c–cassette. The tape version includes the bonus track "Behind the Line" from the b–side of the first Peer Günt Euros single (See discography). The first edition of "Through the Wall" was sold out in no time.
