The band have toured across Europe, Brazil, and the United States.[2] In Finnish, their name means "the exploited" - a possible reference to popular Scottish punk band The Exploited, formed in 1979. Riistetyt have been dubbed pioneers of hardcore in Tampere[3] and their first full-length album Valtion vankina has been referred to as an "undisputed classic".[4]

Band members

The band's line-up has seen a number of changes over the years, however lead singer Lazze and bassist Piise are two founding members who remained with the band during most of its activity. Lazze has been its sole main vocalist since 1981, whereas Piise played bass guitar for Riistetyt from 1981 till 1983 and returned to this role in 2008.[2]
