AKUPUNKTIO / KOHU 63 : Split 7" - FINLANDE - 2007 - HÖHNIE RECORDS / STAY FREE UNDERGROUND RECORDS





I was very curious about 4 new tracks by KOHU 63 (this Classic Finnish old-school punk hardcore band).






But, the first side I've listened from this release was AKUPUNKTIO and I must admit that the four tracks releasing here are great and very wild, like the good early finnish days !!!


The three first tracks are fast & wild, with the typical early and powerful hardcore punk sound from this country.


Last track is less fast and more in an influenced MOTORHEAD vein but, always with this typical early "finnish sound touch"...


Here's my fave AKUPUNKTIO track :




03. Kemian kasvatit by vile76



Then, it was to the Tampere punk legend to offer 4 tracks...

The first song is more in their "Pelimannimusaa" 7" or "Valtaa ei loistoa" 12", it's a wild and fast mid tempo track. A very good attack to open their side.

With "Hypnoosi", the band is more in the best "Lisää verta historiaan" LP tracks. Fast and powerful. A must !


Judge by yourself :



02. Hypnoosi by vile76



Third track by KOHU 63 is also in the mid tempo vein but with a great and aggressive vocals who made the "difference". This is excellent !


Last song has got the same name than MELLAKKA first 7" and it's fast and wild with the same intensity for vocals...


I think you should give interests to this excellent release made (in co-production) by this excellent german label... Don't sleep !
