Terveet Kadet - Aareton Joulu E.P. 7″
February 3rd, 2008 at 1:59 pm
Take off the skinny ties and on with the leather jackets. After the sugary sweet and awesome Zoot Alors that I know you all dug we take our knives and head over to Finland. Don’t forget the Koskenkorva! We might need the bottle in a bar fight.
One of the few finnish HC records I’ve keept. Many of them like Kaaos, Bastards, Riistetyt and Rattus just didn’t cut the mustard for me when it was time to clean out stuff some time ago. But Aareton Joulu by Terveet Kadet I just had to keep. So tight(like the ass on the front picture) and desperate. I really love Lajas voice. Screaming like a new born craving for milk. But in this case I think Laja screams for something stronger. The cover fascinated me back then. And what does Aareton Joulu mean? A candle in the ass? If that’s so I love the title. I soon learned that Terveet Kadet meant something like “healthy hands” or “open hands”. Pissaa ja paskaa means “piss and shit” right? I love that too! This is some great paskaa.

To all the swedes. Ca. 9 sek in i Pissaa ja… låter det som att Läjä sjunger “en liten krussidull”. Någon mer som hör det?

Wow. I was Surprised by how brutal it sounds. I just started getting into all the old Japcore and it reminds me alot of that, which is fucking awesome.
Thanks for posting it.

Ääretön joulu translates in English something as Infinite Christmas. This is the best hc ep in the whole wide fucking world. A bound up guy with a lighted candle stuck up his ass on the cover and songs about people sniffing pussy and drinking piss among other essential things in life. Excellent.

Så jävla bra…!!
Men “cut the mustard”, muckar du din jävel, va?
Snart dags att posta TT Garderob 100 singeln, Peter? (snaella)
February 5th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Sehr gut. Schnell, aggressiv, und schmutzig. Good shit for sure. What else would one expect from Finnish hardcore?
February 6th, 2008 at 3:18 am
Ha ha Senap. Jag är ledsen att det vart så ;). Men du TT Garderob singeln har inte jag. Fast jag funderar på att bjuda in Martin att börja posta lite svenskt här om han vill. Ska skicka ett mail till honom senare i veckan.

i just have to correct you on a typo…it’s not halstelljat, it is haistelijat- that means sniffers…last spring terveet kädet made a reuinon tour, and i have to say they were still quite brutal!that’s all, greetings from finland!
February 6th, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Is it me or has this record caused everyone to express themselves in another language??? Hmmmm…el disco es mi favorito de Finland!
February 7th, 2008 at 5:20 am

One of the best hardcore EP’s ever. Or “vitun kova levy”, as we say it here in Finland.
February 10th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Hallå Senap,
jag fick en nog en inbjudan av Peter till att posta lite här, så om det blir av kommer jag att lägga upp TT Garderob 100.

tk and finnish hc in general had a great impact on the swedish scene in the early 80’s. i sang in ernst and the edsholm rebels, and i remember this record well. one of my all-time favorites. sisu-hc!
February 13th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Awesome. Truly one of my all-time favorites. Terveet Kädet was the sole band that got me into foreign hardcore. To this day I’ve never found an EP as ferocious and adrenalin filled as this. Great post.
I also have this plus their first LP and studio recorded half of the Black God LP over at my blog..check it out.
