KAAOS formed in March 1980. In the beginning of 1981 the first real line-up started to play
noisy hardcore with UK & US influences. KAAOS´ first 8 song EP came out as a split release
with a band called CADGERS (later named RIISTETYT), followed by some chaotic gigs and a
couple of songs for various compilations. While guitarist (and later vocalist) Jakke being
the only original member, the line-up changed frequently. As the band had very loyal fans
all over the world they released their famous "Totaalinen kaaos" EP on Propaganda
Records instead of breaking up. The EP became one of the bestselling finnish records ever.
The album "Ristiinnaulittu Kaaos" appeared early 1984 on Barabbas Records. During
the bands first European tour German Weird System label put out a KAAOS/TERVEET KÄDET
split LP called "So Much Fun". In 1985 KAAOS giged all over Scandinavia and the
rest of Europe, recorded another EP (which came out in 1993) and did their final show in
December ´85.
