Yleiset Syyt: Saitte Mit Halusitte 12″

Description

Saitte Mit Halusitteis the new 9-song mini-LP from Helsinki, Finlands Yleiset Syyt. If you loved 2022s collection LPToisten Todellisuus(also co-released by La Vida Es Un Mus and Sorry State), youll be pleased to hear Yleiset Syyt still has a knack for finding that circa-1981 hardcore sweet spot, evoking a moment when hardcores aggression bubbled over, yet the music still contained much of the pop architecture that anchored late 70s punk. In laymans terms, Im talking about hooks, which Yleiset Syyt has for days. Check out the downright iconic riffs in Geenipoolin Pohjimmainen or the title track, Saitte Mit Halusitte. These riffs dont just stick in your head; like I Dont Wanna Hear It or Pay to Cum or Iron Man, they make you want to pick up a guitar and join in the fun. While Yleiset Syyts potent songcraft still recalls their Finnish forbears Lama as well as first-gen US hardcore legends like Minor Threat or the Fix,Saitte Mit Halusittedoesnt stop at homage, pushing the sound in several directions while maintaining Yleiset Syyts instantly identifiable voice. Aavekaupunki and Kaaos J draw on gripping, tension-filled UK82 punk, while Sotakoneet has that touch of melancholy that made both Lama and early Bad Religion so special. Ansioton Kyh taps into Appendixs aggressive glam-punk, while Tuhat Ktt closes the record by fusing moody UK anarcho-punk with Damaged I-style mental breakdown vocals. If youre looking for raging, catchy hardcore, thenSaitte Mit Halusittewill scratch that itch. But theres something else happening here too, aPlastic Surgery Disasters/Machine Gun Etiquette-esque redrawing of hardcores boundary lines, incorporating new moods and textures without compromising the genres fundamental wallop.
