BEGINNINGREJECTED is a streetpunkrock outfit formed in 1998 in Lappeenranta, Finland. They started out as a 3 -piece project of Pete (bass and vocals), Pietu (guitar) and Jani (drums). The original drummer was shortly changed as Jaakko (former guitarist for a local death/grind band, BURIED ALIVE) came in.
DISCOGRAPHY AND HISTORY After the first demo in spring 1999, Rejected took Oki for a second guitar player to complete the lineup. They played some local shows before entering Red5 studio in May 2000. They recorded 8 songs which were planned to be the content of their debut MCD on Kidney Records. Surprisingly, the boys decided not to release those songs, which they claimed were done in a rush.
The next year Rejected rehearsed more and played a few shows. After a long wait they went to Cosmic studio (Tampere, Finland) to re-record the MCD. 7 songs were recorded in total, which all appear on the Kidney Records release "Heat Of The Night" MCD.
Oki left the band on Autumn 2002, and he was replaced by Pasi. REJECTED and a local hardcore band, WORTH THE PAIN released 7" split september 2003. REJECTED records their 3 songs at Cosmic Studio.....
After three years of playing, Pasi left the band and he was replaced to Jukka Kiesi. With this solid line-up rejected is now stronger than ever, so better watch out!
In March 2006 Rejected spent 4 weekends at Cosmic Studios, Tampere, Finland. The result was a debut full-length album Fool For A Day - King For A Lifetime which was released through Hell's Tone Records and Drop-Out Family in July 2006.
In 2008 the band made split 7" with Helsinki punrock band STRANDED. It was released by small label Kanavakaupungin levyt from Lappeenranta, Finland. And after long wait Rejected released their second full-lenght album, Beware non-believers in begining of 2011.

BEGINNING Kohu-63 was formed already in 1977, so it can be said that they are one the pioneers of punk in Finland. They've had lots of good and bad things on their career, as you will see...
HISTORY Their first recordings appeared on a legendary compilation, called Hilse LP, that came out in 1979. On the compilation they had one song (like anybody else...) called "Just Like Eddie, I Hate Teddy". Hilse LP was the first Finnish punk compilation and it really has all the important punk bands of the late 70's. After that compilation they only sang in Finnish. Their first record came out in 1981 and it was a 7" EP called Pelimannimusaa. It was released on Poko Rekords (PIS 085), as many other punk records of that time. The EP has 3 songs and it's one of those records you can't ever see even in Finland! If you have it, you're very lucky.
After that Kohu went more and more in a Hardcore direction and they released their MiniLP called Valtaa, ei loistoa, also on Poko Rekords (KOHU63, 1982). Jaska (bass), who also played in Sensuuri, left the band and they got a new bass player. But still somehow they managed to get an LP out the very same year. That LP was and still is their only LP and it's called Lisääverta historiaan (Poko Rekords, PÄŒP 37). The LP came with a big booklet and a stencil, but for some reason most LP's still don't have those... I don't know the reason for that. General Finnish lazyness or maybe booklets came later than records, which seems to be traditional in Finland... When that LP was out, King Alcohol came to picture and on one drunken night the vocalist Lä´´ä ·as involved with an incident that eventually led to a manslaughter and Lä´´ä ·as sent to prison. Obviously that was the end of the band at that point, since he had been one of the founding members of the band. Lä´´ä stayed few years in prison and when he got released it didnt take long time to get the band together again. Still with 3 original members, only the bass player was different this time again.
So in 1986 they released a 3 song 7" EP called 3 vuotta myöhemmin, which appropriately means "3 Years Later". That 7" was one of the last punk records on Poko (PIS 172), but all the time they had released lots of other music than punk too. It was also last Kohu-63 record on Poko. Since they had had a break for few years and they had time to "grow up", they left hardcore to their past mostly and started to punk rock again, since that was the music they started. About the same time they re-formed, lots of old Finnish bands had gone to metal or split up. The scene was not having the best time ever in Finland... So things were slow and not too many shows were played etc... The band broke up again and had a break. People were kind of afraid of Kohu, since "they had killed a man", though they hadn't killed anybody, it was just Lä´´ä ·ho was involved in that...
Anyway couple of years went and in 1989 they got things going on again and released two 7" singles the same year. The line up this time was very different. Lä´´ä ·as the only original member and he got some new members who had been playing in bands like Kaaos, Kuolleet Kukat, Sekaannus, St. Michel SS, etc. So they knew what they were doing. The first single was a funny record called "Hyppää ruutuun/Viva la U.S.A." That was on their new label called Wotan Records. That same year they also released a Christmas single called "Tervetuloa jouluun/Ottakaa joulupukki kiinni", which had a great Christmas slaughtering going on in the sleeve... And suited them just fine! Wotan Records stayed active the next year (1990) and released 2x7" called Hullabaloo 1990, that has one of their classic songs called "P.O.V.P.", which is a short for "Cops are Bloody Arseholes". That song became among younger punks in Puntala festivals the same year. Puntala festivals were very famous punk festival in Finland at the early 80's, now going strong again to this day!
After that the band kind of faded away and nothing much happened. In the mid 90's almost all their records were re-released on CD. First came Merry Christmas, Vladimir! which had all the singles between 1989-1991. A year later was released a CD with the first three records. That CD made it easier for lots of younger punks to get some old Kohu-63 music into their hands. All those early records had became very rare and expensive.

"Kaikki alkoi siitä kun mä lopputilin sain Sitten juhlan kunniaksi täyden lastin hain Eikä siinä turhaan liioin kainosteltu lain Pullo kiersi ringissä ja irvisteltiin vain
Ei tippa tapa ja ämpäriin ei huku Kun on alkuun päästy niin antaa mennä vaan Ei tippa tapa ja ämpäriin ei huku Kun on alkuun päästy niin antaa mennä vaan
Elämä on tylsää jos ei joskus juhli näin No kuka sitä aina jaksaa olla selvinpäin Antaa mennä samaan tahtiin viikko peräkkäin Kaikki murheet huuhdotaan me sisältämme näin
CHORUS
Kaikkihan me täällä ollaan pieni hetki vaan On aivan turhaa mammonaa näin koota päälle maan Joku toinen kuitenkin sen ryyppää aikanaan Juodaan kaikki nyt ja juokoon toiset omiaan"
