Endstand
Endstand is one of the most famous hardcore punk bands from Finland, and considering the rich Finnish HC heritage, that is a bold take. Endstand was founded in the small town of Riihimäki in 1996 and they were a part of the original lineup of the internationally renowned DIY punk label Combat Rock Industry, along with Manifesto Jukebox and Wasted. Endstand released five albums and played hundreds of gigs in the Finnish and European punk scene before disbanding in 2008. Endstand’s influence on the development of Finnish punk and DIY culture is virtually second to none.
