Terveet Kädet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Läjä Äijälä, the lead singer of Terveet Kädet

Terveet Kädet are a Finnish hardcore punk band. The group was founded in Tornio in January 1980. They have had a major influence on bands from all over the world, especially in Brazil (which some have claimed was because of a member from the leading band Olho Seco and his enthusiasm and connections to that country's scene). [citation needed] Max Cavalera of Sepultura and Soulfly has mentioned Terveet Kädet as one of his all-time favourite bands.[1]

The band's line-up changed several times, and the singer Veli-Matti "Läjä" Äijälä was the only permanent member. The band announced on its Facebook page in March 2016 that it was disbanded.[2] Svart Records released complete works of the band from 1980's as an omnibus release "TK Pop 1980-1989" in 2019.[3] Läjä Äijälä's current band Lapin Helvetti played a short tour to promote the release in summer and autumn 2019 playing only songs from the release.[4]

The name Terveet Kädet means "Healthy Hands".
