LIFE'S A RIOT! - st EP (2001)

once again, thanks to immensely beloved and appreciated Terminal Sound Nuisance blog (crust/anarcho-punk equivalent to holly bible, quran, satanic bible or which ever "holy book" you want or prefer) I discovered one more awesome old anarcho-punk band in let's say Mankind?, Harum-Scarum and A//Political style, it means highly energetic, with m/f vocals, spoken words here and there which transfers into fast and angry hardcore punk parts really nicely, political lyrics - all together just like I love them the most.. one of the best feelings lately, in this time of excessive and nonsensical consumerism when everything is easily available and just one click away in this overcrowded swamp of internet, where 99% of stuff you just superficially fly through, is to dig something like this, old or new, doesn't really matter, which completely amaze me and is on repeat constantly last several days.. 

Life's A Riot! were probably short lived band from Helsinki, Finland active in the early 00s, and this self-titled EP is possibly their only record, released on Witchhunt and Les Nains Aussi Records in 2001..
while reading this above mentioned post on Terminal Sound, when I came to the part where it is mentioned that this was probably Diaspora's (to me personally cult anarcho crust band, their songs "Demise" and "Eyes of an Animal" are one of the best anarcho-punk songs ever written) members side project, I was bought, that was the main reason I give it a try, and boy, how I'm glad I did!.. because it's about an awesome band and record, this 10 minutes long forgotten EP is just perfect example of good anarcho-punk sound, the way I imagine it and like.. while Diaspora leans toward crust side of anarcho-punk this one is like more simplified and purest version with rawer production facing more toward classic UK sound of 80s/90s bands and even North American peace punk from the same period.. sounds good, right!?.. and when you know that the members, beside above mentioned Diaspora were involved in bunch of other projects and bands from Finland and Sweden like Yuppiecrusher, Pax Americana, Alakulttuurin Kusipäät, Scumbrigade, etc., you know it can't go wrong with this one, so do yourself a favor and give it a listen, go say thanks to Terminal for the interesting post and download link, then to Narcoleptic Fox at yt for the video and spread this out and don't allow that gem like this becomes forgotten..
and for the end as Life's A Riot! closes this EP: never give in, never forget! never give in, never forget!..
