Terveet Kädet

Terveet Kädet (Healthy Hands) were a Finnish hardcore punk band, one of the early hardcore bands in Finland. 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). Max Cavalera of Sepultura and Soulfly has mentioned Terveet Kädet as one of his all-time favourite bands. 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.

The band made a promo called Propaganda In The 80's, which was sent to John Peel to get some airplay on his radio show. Later John Peel sent the tape with an official BBC-Label and personal greetings to his friend Graeme Price. The promo cassette included a handwritten playlist from the band.
