Rytmihäiriö

Rytmihäiriö is a Finnish punk/hardcore band known for their raucous energy, absurdist humor, and unapologetically chaotic take on everyday Finnish life. Formed in the late '90s, they’ve spent decades carving out a niche with lyrics that hilariously (and often grotesquely) skewer booze culture, small-town monotony, and societal absurdities. Their sound blends raw punk aggression with catchy, shout-along choruses, delivered in a dialect-heavy Finnish that adds to their culty, regional charm.

Tracks like “Spurgurituaali” (a booze-soaked “ritual” anthem) and “Viinahampaat” (“Wine Teeth”) showcase their knack for turning mundane chaos into mosh-pit poetry. While they’ve largely flown under the mainstream radar, their DIY ethos and relentless live shows have cemented them as underground legends in Finland’s punk scene. Their 2020s releases, like *Surmacore* and *Gambinapsykoosi*, prove they’re still gleefully cranking out anthems for misfits who laugh at the world’s madness.
