TERVEET KÄDET 1980-84 PHOTO BOOK

Format: A4 / 120 pages / 100+ photos
Language: Finnish with English translations

“These black and white pictures reflect my memories, the zeitgeist and the atmosphere of the early 1980s very well.”

This is how Terveet Kädet frontman Veli-Matti “Läjä” Äijälä describes this photo book of his band.

Journalist and photographer Heikki Kemppainen (born 1964) takes the reader through the early days of Terveet Kädet, all the way from their very first show in Finland to the tragic death of their drummer Walde

Being a close friend with the band, Heikki was able to capture them on and off stage in a very unique way. The book includes plenty of previously unseen photos and a bunch of classic shots seen in fanzines and record sleeves of that era. 

While Terveet Kädet is the epicentre, the book also offers a glimpse to their hometown Tornio, a remote northern city that gave birth to one of the most influential bands in hardcore history.
