| General info : | | Riistetyt are a Finnish hardcore punk band from Tampere. After Rattus and Kaaos, Riistetyt were one of the first groups in Finland to play hardcore punk. Originally formed as Cadgers, the band was created in 1981 and recorded one split 7" with Kaaos before changing their name. They played until 1985, then reunited in 1991 and have been active ever since.
The band have toured across Europe, Brazil, and the United States. In Finnish, their name means "the exploited" - a possible reference to popular Scottish punk band The Exploited, formed in 1979. Riistetyt have been dubbed pioneers of hardcore in Tampere and their first full-length album Valtion vankina has been referred to as an "undisputed classic". | |
