Finland has probably had the best scene in punk over the last few years. An endless trickle of shockingly great hardcore records, a lot of which never seem to make it outside of Finland, and fewer of which get much recognition for it. Two of the best, the cream of the crop, keeping the spirit of Finnish hardcore as vibrant and exciting as ever, are Hapea. The short sharp shock songwriting of Terveet Kadet, the reckless and wild execution of Bastards, a wall of raw noise blasting sound like Kuolema. Channeling all the things that must be loved about Finnish hardcore, Hapea are the flag-bearers of a new generation!
