Bastards

hardcore punk

There are at least three bands called Bastards. 1.) Bastards' was a Finnish hardcore punk band whose original line-up did only the 7 Maailma Palaa Ja Kuolee (World Burns To Death) in 1982. The line-up was Sid on vocals, Rike on guitar, Roitsu on bass and Masa on drums. Bastards was established in Tampere, Finland in the beginning of 1980s. Bastards soon became one of the major bands from Propaganda Records, which helped introduce the world to Finnish hardcore. Rike, Masa and Sid were also together in Antikeho, who released some songs on the PROPAGANDA I (Russia Bombs Finland) compilation LP. Masa played also in Protesti and Skitzo. Sid played in Protesti and Kaaos. Rike played later in Riistetyt, Pyhät Nuket and Nuket. The only line-up change Bastards ever had was when they changed vocalists. Their new vocalist was Lahti, who joined after the 7 was recorded. They made a European tour in 1983. The 2000s saw several vinyl reissues for the band: Järjetön maailma (Insane World), Demo 82 and Siberian Hardcore. Latest CD-reissues are Järjetön maailma (compilation) and Siberian Hardcore. www.propaganda.fi 2.)

Both of these new bands, like Unsane and Cows, went on to join the Amphetamine Reptile Records roster. 3.) Bastards is a blackened grind band from Columbus, Ohio: http://www.facebook.com/b...
