Bastards

**Bastards** is a Finnish punk band known for their raw energy, politically charged lyrics, and unapologetic DIY ethos. Emerging from Finland’s underground scene, they’ve carved a niche with their blend of hardcore punk and social commentary, tackling themes like societal decay, existential angst, and anti-war sentiment—evident in tracks like *Ei sotaa* (“No War”) and *Maailma palaa* (“The World Burns”). Their music often merges aggressive riffs with Finnish-language lyrics that resonate with local audiences while maintaining a global punk appeal.

Recent releases like *Siberian Hardcore (2023 Remaster)* and the 2022 remaster of *Maailma palaa ja kuolee* (“The World Burns and Dies”) highlight their commitment to revisiting and refining their catalog, bridging their gritty roots with modern production. With a no-frills approach and a reputation for fiery live shows, Bastards remain a defiant voice in punk, channeling chaos into anthems for the disillusioned.
