ATTANAS - Joulupukki-E.P. - (Hätäapu Records-Finland-1987)

 

Attanas was a punk band of the late 1980s in the city of Tampere, Finland. Or from a place called Lentävänniemi in northern Tampere, to be more exact  Attanas, the band itself and their closest friends were members of a local youth club, "Lentsun klubi". From those youths was to become a band that wanted to tell what they thought of matters surrounding them without asking anybody. Also, they played their music just as they wanted, with no regrets. Influences were drawn first mainly from 77-punk but later there can be found similarities with hardcore or even speed metal. Not to forget about alcohol and its consumption. Though Attanas released four records, three 7" EP's and 8 tracks on a compilation album "Stop Vivisection - Use Yuppies", they never toured or even did too many gigs. The main reason for that was that they really didn't care too much to leave Lentävänniemi. (info from LastFmclick me

KAAOS-Nukke Ep-(Havoc Records-USA-2000)


 Recorded in 1985 but only released in 1993 on the Finnish Fight Records,this is the  re-print by the American Havoc Records made in 2000. Here a good bio from their official webpage.   click me

KAAOS was formed by four 14-15 year old young punks in March 1980 to play raw and noisy punk music because most of old so called punk bands had changed their styles to the new wave. At first they were mostly influenced by bands like CRASS. Then when such style as hardcore came and bands like DISCHARGE, DISORDER, CHAOS UK etc., their style changed to faster and more aggressive. KAAOS can be considered as a pioneer in hardcore in Finland and even in Scandinavia. The first record waited to be released to the end of 1981 including the legendary "Kytät On Natsisikoja". The line-ups were changing and records were released in a steady stream and the band made gigs also (KAAOS got a reputation as a "riot squad"). KAAOS was approached by some record labels to larger audience but the band kept their D.I.Y. and punk attitude. The first LP was released in 1984 ("Ristiinnaulittu Kaaos"). Before that there had been some confusions with line-ups (Jakke is the original member and former of the band) and other things. The things went to that point that the band decided to stop for so far in December 1985. After that band members played in other punk bands like KUOLLEET KUKAT, KOHU-63 and POSITIVE NEGATIVE. The new coming of KAAOS happened in 1999 in the funeral of the legendary club called Lepakko in Helsinki. From the old line-up there was Jakke and Sidney. KAAOS released couple of splits and collections and in 2001 was released 10" LP "Ismit" which brought some new ideas without forgetting the old aggro-HC. In the summer of 2002 the band made their second foreign tour which was organized by Pogo-Paul (the first was in 1984!). In April 2005 Jakke disbanned the band. Despite numerous requests to have KAAOS on stage again Jakke's decision stuck until October 2007 when KAAOS made an appearance (with original lineup!) in Tavastia Club, at the release party of the book "Parasta Lapsille". That proved to be the final KAAOS show. Jakke died a month later in November 29th 2007. He apparently died of alcohol-related causes at the age of 42.

GRUNT/ORAL CLIMAX-Split Tape-(Freak Animal Records-Finland-c30-1995)

Grunt was formed in Finland during spring 1993 to create hard audio havoc. Its early incarnations operated with few other names, before settling into Grunt and making the first officially published works. After 20 years of activity, it is still going strong. Various styles of noise electronics are always hammered with such pressure it usually transforms into known Grunt-noise, even if new methods and approaches are added. Various interests, moods and approaches and different kinds of topics have been used during the years. Strong visuals and lyrics are the most well known to people.
Since the early days, Grunt has been merely part of international power electronics-noise scene. There has never been a desire to attract attention widely. There has never been attempts to be credible within academic noise circles, performance art or modern industrial culture. Nor promote it in media outside the core of noise-underground. However, neither there is a clear desire to follow genre restrictions. When invitations have happened, Grunt has been featured in documentaries, newspaper articles, playing together with punk, metal and gothic bands as well as among performance art events.
Grunt is tightly connected to the vision of Freak Animal Records label and has also a handful of other forms, what can be understood as projects of their own or simply branches slightly separated from the main project.(from his webpage)
Oral Climax is a grindcore band from Lithuania active during the 90s, they released many productions as a split with other band/projects.
Enjoy it.

SIVULLINEN Newsletter 5/97-(Sivullinen-Finland-1997)

Another astonishing issue of this amazing newsletter:
Sivullinen was a newsletter edited by Jouni Waarakangas in Helsinki(Finland)!!!Jouni was printing in it everything that was coming out from the underground world.This newsletter had no borders!!! 
We could find in its: news about zines, comics, tape labels, mail art, anarchist newspapers, poetries, short stories, experimental music, adverts for future compilation tapes, flyers of bands and their productions, mail art projects and whatever was related to all those subjects.
The graphics layout was messy and at the same time funny on one A6 size folded page or more pages.
It was printed 4 or 5 times at year in a print run of 1000 copies and it was free although a donation of stamps would have been always very appreciated.Jouni was into trading zines and cassette productions!!
Sivullinen was also a great fanzine created by Jouni and I have already posted few numbers as well as a couple of issues of this newsletter, you`ll find it all here.
Enjoy it.

v.a.-AITEIN-ROCK-(JW/R Rec-Raippa Recs-Finland-1994)

This tape seems to be the documentation of a gig happened in Lahti(Finland) on the 8th of May 1994.
All Finnish bands, the most of them from Lahti. They play a low-fi rock`n` roll with different variations/influences. 
On the cover sleeve, there are listed 2 labels JW/R recs and Raippa Records, it does n`t seem very easy to find any info about those small and very probably Finnish labels.
Get it if you are into weird rock, underground bands, and lo-fi recordings.
ps-only for Finnish people, in the cover sleeve, appears a note with few lines about this recording, if you get more info from it then please leave a comment.
Enjoy it.

Helou Kaet & Son n8-(Fanzine-Joukkomurha Products-Finland-1991)

Number 8 of this Finnish fanzine focused on short stories, poetries music , mail art and comics.I already posted the number 10 and the number 9.It was assembled and distributed by Jupe Luoma in the early 90s.Jupe was also into mail art and running the label Joukkormurha Tapes and the sublabel JM Tapes.
I posted quite few tapes by this Finnish label, you will find them here. 
This fanzine has few articles, short stories, some poetries, lots of nice graphix works and comics and more random stuff.
Few poetries are in English, the most of the articles/comics and other writings are in Finnish.
Enjoy it, if you are Finnish literate.
