D Beatls by DBeatles: A Raw Finnish Punk Explosion You Didn’t Know You Needed
Alright, let’s talk about D Beatls by DBeatles. This 2015 album from Finland is a no-frills, straight-to-the-gut punch of punk and hardcore that’ll leave you both winded and wanting more. Released under Räkälevyt (a label known for its gritty underground vibes), this record doesn’t try to be anything fancy—it just hits hard and keeps moving.
First off, the vibe here is raw as hell. Like, imagine someone took all the frustrations of living in Betonisuomi (Concrete Finland) and turned it into 30 minutes of pure chaos. And honestly? That’s exactly what they did. Tracks like “Oy Betonisuomi Ab” kick things off with an energy so relentless it feels like your speakers are gonna explode. The track screams about urban decay, monotony, and that weird feeling when you realize life in modern Finland isn’t quite what the tourist brochures promised. It sticks because it’s not just noise—it’s got something to say, even if it’s shouting at you through distortion pedals.
Another standout has to be “Saatanan sairasta sakkia.” Don’t ask me how to pronounce that properly; I’ve butchered it enough times already. But damn, does this one hit different. It’s fast, angry, and kinda unhinged in the best way possible. There’s this moment halfway through where everything drops out except for some gnarly basslines before exploding back into full-on sonic warfare. If you’re not headbanging by then, check your pulse—you might be dead.
What makes D Beatls memorable isn’t just the riffs or the speed—it’s the attitude. These guys don’t care about sounding polished or radio-friendly. They sound like they recorded this in a basement while drinking cheap beer and yelling at the world outside their window. And honestly? That’s refreshing. Too many bands these days overthink their music, but DBeatles keep it real—sometimes too real, like when they named a song “Mihin sorbus katosi?” which roughly translates to "Where Did the Rowan Go?" Weird flex, but okay.
The mix of punk and hardcore styles works perfectly here. One minute you’re thrashing along to something aggressive like “Monarkia,” and the next you’re nodding along to the slightly slower groove of “Bengalin tiikeri.” It’s unpredictable without being messy, chaotic without losing control.
Finishing up with “Numeroitu,” the album leaves you breathless. By the end, you feel like you’ve been on a wild ride through Finland’s underbelly—and maybe picked up a few bruises along the way.
So yeah, D Beatls isn’t gonna win any Grammys (not that anyone cares about Grammys anyway). But it doesn’t need to. What it does do is remind us why punk and hardcore matter—they give voice to frustration, anger, and those moments when you just wanna scream at the top of your lungs. Also, fun fact: listening to this album makes traffic jams less boring. Just saying.
Final verdict? If you dig punk and hardcore that doesn’t mess around, grab this album ASAP. Just don’t blame me if your neighbors start complaining.
