Riistetyt - originally called Cadgers - was formed 1981 being one of the very first hardcore punk bands coming from Finland. The first "Cadgers" line-up did only one split 7"ep with Kaaos, both bands being pioneers of hardcore in Tampere.
Soon the band name was changed to Riistetyt and the next release was "Laki ja järjestys" 7"ep, also released by P.Tuotanto 1982. It was followed by Valtion vankina 12"lp ("As a Prisoners of State") and Skitsofrenia 12" on Propaganda Records. "As Prisoners of State" and the next release "Raiskattu tulevaisuus" ("Raped Future") were also pressed in Germany by not-so-reputable Rock-o-Rama Records (The band had nothing to do with that as it was a deal with Propaganda Records and Rock-o-Rama).
Years 1981-1983 the band did a lot of shows around Finland and ended up on US tour 1984 At that time the line-up and the style had faced a radical change (They also had a rock band Pyhät Nuket "Holy Dolls" those days). After the US tour the band had no other solution than have a break since 1985.
1999 there was a funeral of a classic squatted house "Lepakko" in Helsinki. Riistetyt was sharing the stage with many other old bands from 80's like Kaaos, Terveet Kädet, Appendix etc. After that they recorded a new 7"ep with new line-up. That line-up didn't last too long.
After few line-up changes there was a team that managed to play together around five years releasing a 12"lp, 10" and a 7"ep and tour in Europe, Brazil and USA.
Current line-up has been up since 2008 - having still two original members in the band. There is a new lp "Kuolonhymnejä" released 2009 and only the future will tell what will happen after that...
Recorded on summer 2009, this is the fourth record of this band moving between downtuned neo crust melodies and classic rocking metal riffs.
Riistetyt es una de las bandas más representativas del hardcore finlandés de principios de los 80. Junto Rattus, Kaaos o Terveet Kadet dieron una vuelta de tuerca al sonido del punk: tomando como punto de partida a Discharge afilaron y encrudecieron su estilo para hacer de el un referente para varias generaciones de punks. Tocando desde 1981, Riistetyt ha sabido mantenerse en forma durante los últimos diez años, editando un buen montón de material en sellos como Hardcore Holocaust o Fight Records.
En definitiva, una de las leyendas del influyente hardcore finlandés en Zaragoza por primera vez.
Kanzer d Eskroto posiblemente no necesiten ninguna presentación para el público local. Tocando hace más de quince años KDE siguen con las presentaciones de su último disco "Alucinosis". Su formula es simple pero efectiva: mala baba, crudeza y guarrería.
Mistkäfer terminan este septiembre de 2009 después de haber girado por el estado durante 10 días y a la espera de ver editado su primer vinilo, un lp compartido con Almax. Crust punk sucio y rápido mezclando influencias del hardcore ochentero y de grupos más actuales.
