A Turku-based group whose confrontational lyrics kept them at odds with authorities throughout the 1980s.
For their early sound, 'Poliisi Maksaa' captures that raw confrontation. 'Donde Estas' shows how they kept evolving while staying true to that punk spirit.
Kaaos mattered because they didn't just play punk, they lived it. Their early recordings like 'Poliisi Maksaa' directly addressed police brutality at a time when few Finnish bands would touch the subject. Songs like 'Donde Estas' show they kept pushing even as lineups shifted around vocalist Pexi Markkanen.
They formed in Turku in the early 1980s with Markkanen on vocals. The 1980 EP 'Poliisi Maksaa' and 1981 album 'Rajoitettu Ydinsota' established their confrontational style. They kept recording through the decade with albums like 'Tuomittu' in 1984, then became more sporadic in later years while Markkanen maintained the project's presence.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
