'''Singer Vinger''' is an [[Estonia]]n [[punk rock]] band. It was founded in 1985, before that being named ''Pära Trust'' (Backside Trust, 1979–1983), ''Turist'' (Tourist, 1983–1985), and ''Aken'' (Window), among other names. The name ''Singer Vinger'' was picked by the authorities because ''Turist'' was deemed inappropriate by the [[Soviet Estonia]]n ministry of culture.<ref>Booklet of their release “Troinoi” (2000)</ref> Throughout the name changes, the band's leader, main songwriter, and singer has been [[Hardi Volmer]]. The main themes in the band's songs are social-critical irony and humour.
