Kingston Wall was a Finnish psychedelic and progressive rock band from Helsinki, formed in 1987. Influenced by artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, the group blended Eastern themes, mysticism and psychedelia with acid‑rock elements. The trio consisted of Petri Walli (guitars, lead vocals), Jukka Jylli (bass, backing vocals) and Sami Kuoppamäki (drums, percussion). Walli founded the band, composed most of the music, wrote all the lyrics, produced the recordings and managed the group through their own Trinity label.Kingston Wall began in 1987 when Petri Walli invited Jukka Jylli to join his new band. Drummer Petteri Ståhl and vocalist Jukka Häikiö were later added, and the group performed under the name Moonshine Makers, playing their first shows in 1988. Häikiö eventually left, frustrated with Walli’s long guitar solos, and the band continued as a trio, with Walli reluctantly taking over lead vocals.The group adopted the name Kingston Wall, a combination of Walli’s surname and a supposed reference to a mental hospital in England, though Walli later gave different explanations for the origin. The name had no connection to the Jamaican capital. Their first performance as Kingston Wall — and as a trio — took place in September 1988, leading to a growing number of gigs. Early shows featured original material alongside covers of songs by the Beatles, Frank Zappa, the Who and Jimi Hendrix.
