!!'''''Perkeros'' contains examples of:'''
*AllDrummersAreAnimals: Karhu is a literal case.
*BigDamnHeroes: Karhu saves Akseli from getting the crap beaten out of him in the opening backstage scene. [[spoiler: He does it again in the climax.]]
*ControlFreak: Akseli has hard time actually enjoying playing music being so caught up on all the small imperfections.
*CoolOldGuy: Kervinen.
*DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Karhu]]
*ADogNamedDog: Karhu (Finnish for "Bear") is exactly that.
*DrivesLikeCrazy: Aydin on his scooter.
*DudeNotFunny: Lilja calls out Akseli on his racist remarks towards Aydin before his audition. Later on Kervinen is not amused by Aydin and Akseli's faux-witchcraft.
*FiveManBand: Perkeros fits the bill quite nicely.
** TheHero: Akseli
** TheLancer: Aydin
** TheBigGuy: Karhu
** TheSmartGuy: Kervinen
** TheChick: Lilja
*{{Foreshadowing}}: There are several things that give foreshadowing towards [[spoiler: the true nature of the rival band.]]
** Akseli's offhand remark that [[{{Hipster}} hipsters]] are the work of the devil.
** When Akseli lets his mind drift during a boring dinner conversation, he imagines the flute-toting faun on the Wine bottle etiquette turning into the Devil.
** When Kervinen is lecturing about [[ThePowerOfRock the mystical power of sound]], he mentions the famous Piper of Hameln as an example.
** Guess what [[spoiler: Samuli's]] instrument of choice is...?
*FunnyForeigner: Akseli has this view on Aydin. Aydin himself uses it later to warm up the gig audience.
*FunetikAksent: Aydin's Finnish is a bit rough around the edges. [[ShownTheirWork However, it is done very realistically when compared to how foreigners usually speak Finnish.]]
**Mikael Åkerfield of {{Opeth}} displays his Swedish accent by having all the o's written as å's.
*GoneHorriblyWrong: [[spoiler: A failed attempt to play carvings of an ancient chalice on a vinyl record player causes Samuli and his bandmates to turn into some kind of demons.]]
*[[spoiler: HumanoidAbomination:]] [[Diablotus after the events described above. Even they are not sure what they are now.]]
*InheritedIlliteracyTitle: "Perkeros" is an in-universe example: the band was originally called "Kerberos" (Finnish version of "Cerberus"), but apparently Akseli misspelled on the demo cover.
*InnocentInnuendo: Due to his skill level in Finnish, Aydin often says things that come out as dirty [[{{Malaproper}} malapropers]] of the things he was actually supposed to say. For example, instead of asking "Voinko yhdistää tähän Marshalliin? (Can I connect [my bass] to this Marshall [Amp]?)", he says "Voinko yhtyä tähän marsuun? (Can I have intercourse with this guinea pig?)"
*InterruptedIntimacy: When Lilja arrives at the Diablotus band hangout she walks in on one of the band members on top of a groupie. [[spoiler: Then the band member turns around to reveal razor-sharp teeth and blood all over his face...]]
*LastNameBasis: We never learn the first name of Kervinen.
*LogicalWeakness: All the weird things sound waves can do can be easily blocked away with a pair of earplugs.
*MarriedToTheJob: Akseli technically qualifies when it comes to his relationship with his band. The problem is that nobody's paying for him to do it.
*MeaningfulName: The rivaling band Diablotus. Not to mention their song ''[[ImAHumanitarian "Amore Cannibale"...]]''
*{{Metaphorgotten}}: The exchange about the preferred form of audio between Kervinen and Akseli.
--> '''Akseli:''' "But don't vinyls wear out?"
--> '''Kervinen:''' "Yes, but all the recording share the same problem. Whether it's a oral, written or a digital document, some things are always lost. Life, the hard knocks and scratches make you what you are."
--> '''Akseli:''' [[LampshadeHanging "Somehow I got this feeling we're not talking about albums any more."]]
*MoodWhiplash: All around. Dramatic and [[NightmareFuel downright terrifying]] scenes can be followed by comedic and light-hearted practice space banter and vice versa.
*PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: Karhu is an interesting example. He plays in a band, owns an apartment and has no problems using an [=iPod=]. He still can't talk.
*MistakenForCheating: Jaana reads a rather unfortunately-worded message Lilja send to Akseli. We never see her reaction or how the following discussion plays out, as we instantly cut to Akseli informing the band that he has to bunk out in the practice space for a while.
*ThePowerOfRock: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed.]] The comic gives several possible explanations for the mysterious things music causes in their universe, but [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane not a single straight answer.]]

Perkeros is a avant-garde metal band from Tampere, Finland. Consisting of [[ControlFreak obsessive songwriter-guitarist]] '''Akseli''', art student keyboardist '''Lilja''', [[NewAgeRetroHippie old hippie bassist]] '''Kervinen''' and the drummer '''Karhu''' is having both internal and external problems. Akseli sacrifices his relationship to the altar of music, the demo covers need to be finished, the annual Battle of the Bands is nearing, the rivaling hipster band Diablotus is gaining popularity alarmingly fast and Perkeros is still missing a singer.
Things start to look better when Lilja comes across '''Aydin''', an immigrant pizzeria worker with a fantastic voice. However, it seems like that even the new addition can't hold up together the band as Akseli gets sucked deeper into the fascinating and dangerous world of soundwaves...
Written and drawn by K.P. Alare and [[NorthernOverexposure J.P. Ahola]], ''Perkeros'' [[GenreBusting mixes together comedy, slice-of-life band moments, science fiction, fantasy, and occult]] to create one louder-than-life experience. The graphic novel received critical acclaim upon its release in Finland in late 2013, and the authors have already signed contracts for English and French releases.
!!'''''Perkeros'' contains examples of:'''
*AllDrummersAreAnimals: Karhu is a literal case.
*BigDamnHeroes: Karhu saves Akseli from getting the crap beaten out of him in the opening backstage scene. [[spoiler: He does it again in the climax.]]
*ControlFreak: Akseli has hard time actually enjoying playing music being so caught up on all the small imperfections.
*CoolOldGuy: Kervinen.
*DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Karhu]]
*ADogNamedDog: Karhu (Finnish for "Bear") is exactly that.
*DrivesLikeCrazy: Aydin on his scooter.
*DudeNotFunny: Lilja calls out Akseli on his racist remarks towards Aydin before his audition. Later on Kervinen is not amused by Aydin and Akseli's faux-witchcraft.
*FiveManBand: Perkeros fits the bill quite nicely.
** TheHero: Akseli
** TheLancer: Aydin
** TheBigGuy: Karhu
** TheSmartGuy: Kervinen
** TheChick: Lilja
*{{Foreshadowing}}: There are several things that give foreshadowing towards [[spoiler: the true nature of the rival band.]]
** Akseli's offhand remark that [[{{Hipster}} hipsters]] are the work of the devil.
** When Akseli lets his mind drift during a boring dinner conversation, he imagines the flute-toting faun on the Wine bottle etiquette turning into the Devil.
** When Kervinen is lecturing about [[ThePowerOfRock the mystical power of sound]], he mentions the famous Piper of Hameln as an example.
** Guess what [[spoiler: Samuli's]] instrument of choice is...?
*FunnyForeigner: Akseli has this view on Aydin. Aydin himself uses it later to warm up the gig audience.
*FunetikAksent: Aydin's Finnish is a bit rough around the edges. [[ShownTheirWork However, it is done very realistically when compared to how foreigners usually speak Finnish.]]
**Mikael Åkerfield of {{Opeth}} displays his Swedish accent by having all the o's written as å's.
*GoneHorriblyWrong: [[spoiler: A failed attempt to play carvings of an ancient chalice on a vinyl record player causes Samuli and his bandmates to turn into some kind of demons.]]
*[[spoiler: HumanoidAbomination:]] [[Diablotus after the events described above. Even they are not sure what they are now.]]
*InheritedIlliteracyTitle: "Perkeros" is an in-universe example: the band was originally called "Kerberos" (Finnish version of "Cerberus"), but apparently Akseli misspelled on the demo cover.
*InnocentInnuendo: Due to his skill level in Finnish, Aydin often says things that come out as dirty [[{{Malaproper}} malapropers]] of the things he was actually supposed to say. For example, instead of asking "Voinko yhdistää tähän Marshalliin? (Can I connect [my bass] to this Marshall [Amp]?)", he says "Voinko yhtyä tähän marsuun? (Can I have intercourse with this guinea pig?)"
*InterruptedIntimacy: When Lilja arrives at the Diablotus band hangout she walks in on one of the band members on top of a groupie. [[spoiler: Then the band member turns around to reveal razor-sharp teeth and blood all over his face...]]
*LastNameBasis: We never learn the first name of Kervinen.
*LogicalWeakness: All the weird things sound waves can do can be easily blocked away with a pair of earplugs.
*MarriedToTheJob: Akseli technically qualifies when it comes to his relationship with his band. The problem is that nobody's paying for him to do it.
*MeaningfulName: The rivaling band Diablotus. Not to mention their song ''[[ImAHumanitarian "Amore Cannibale"...]]''
*{{Metaphorgotten}}: The exchange about the preferred form of audio between Kervinen and Akseli.
--> '''Akseli:''' "But don't vinyls wear out?"
--> '''Kervinen:''' "Yes, but all the recording share the same problem. Whether it's a oral, written or a digital document, some things are always lost. Life, the hard knocks and scratches make you what you are."
--> '''Akseli:''' [[LampshadeHanging "Somehow I got this feeling we're not talking about albums any more."]]
*MoodWhiplash: All around. Dramatic and [[NightmareFuel downright terrifying]] scenes can be followed by comedic and light-hearted practice space banter and vice versa.
*PartiallyCivilizedAnimal: Karhu is an interesting example. He plays in a band, owns an apartment and has no problems using an [=iPod=]. He still can't talk.
*MistakenForCheating: Jaana reads a rather unfortunately-worded message Lilja send to Akseli. We never see her reaction or how the following discussion plays out, as we instantly cut to Akseli informing the band that he has to bunk out in the practice space for a while.
*ThePowerOfRock: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed.]] The comic gives several possible explanations for the mysterious things music causes in their universe, but [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane not a single straight answer.]]
*Really700YearsOld: The common joke the other band members have on Kervinen's expense. [[spoiler: It is in fact the truth.]]
*ShoutOut: Apart from the numerous mentions of RealLife bands and songs featured and mentioned in comic, we have:
** Aydin's pizza scooter has the same licence plate as the car of DonaldDuck.
** Lilja calls Karhu [[TheJungleBook Baloo]] after his [[spoiler: DisneyDeath]].
** All the band members have their own [[TheMoomins Moomin mugs]]. Each one with a character that suits their personality.
