Terveet Kädet - Rock Laahausta Vastaan

(picture KFTH)
Just when I`m about to declare another band as The Best Finnish Punk Rock Band Ever (c), a new one pops into my mind. Lama, Ratsia... and hell, how can I not mention Terveet Kädet? Seriously, this band is BRUTAL. One of the first hardcore bands in the world, and probably the most well known of all the finnish punk bands. And raw. Just take a listen to this 7", released in 1980. Not the bands finest (that would be Ääretön Joulu, which you can find from various blogs like Strange Reaction), but still kicks serious amounts of ass and shows a load of promise. Psychotic stuff.
