The Sound of Finnish Hardcore

Raw, relentless, and unapologetically loud, "The Sound of Finnish Hardcore" dives into Finland's underground punk and hardcore legacy, spanning from early '80s chaos to more contemporary aggression. The playlist includes classics like Lama’s “Olen homo” and KOHU-63’s “Synti,” rubbing shoulders with modern grind from God Given Ass and the metallic punishment of Down My Throat and Cleansing. Tracks like “Sätkynukkehuorat” by Aivolävistys and “Hyväksikäytetyt” by Bastards highlight the gritty and politically charged edge that defines much of Finnish punk, while acts like Radiopuhelimet and Rytmihäiriö add a noise-rock weirdness and crossover menace to the mix.

This collection touches all corners of Finnish hardcore—from the frantic bursts of Tervet Kädet and Riistetyt to the more melodic but still sharpened sound of Manifesto Jukebox and Hero Dishonest. Whether coming from the raw, lo-fi fury of early ‘80s hardcore or the more polished but still aggressive 2000s bands, this playlist captures the no-bullshit attitude and social critique that runs deep through the Finnish scene. It’s a full-on barrage of distortion, snotty lyrics, and cathartic energy.
