Vapaa Maa (FIN)
Vapaa Maa leaves nothing to chance. Hailing from Tampere, these guys are not afraid to call spade a spade. Their melodic punk has roots in 80s' American hardcore, echoing the tunes of Minor Threat, Bad Religion and Dead Kennedys.
The musicians of Vapaa Maa have earned their stripes in bands such as Abduktio and Manifesto Jukebox. Now in Vapaa Maa, they are yet again ready to grab the society by its horns and give it a good shake with their riffs, drum fills, and poignant lyrics, as their latest album Boycott Stubb proves.
