The second night of this year’s edition of HKI SKEPU FEST in Helsinki was yet another (skate) punk party you shouldn’t have missed with the Danes from Uphill Struggle, the Polish party machine that was CF98 and Finnish acts Lame Duck, Teresa Banks and headliner Against It All!

Last month, the 6th edition of HKI SKEPU FEST took place in Helsinki to celebrate (skate) punk and everything surrounding that scene with on the first night bands like Critical Low, Glass Wipe, Malvina and Snuff!

Hed pe is a veteran band with 30 years under their belt and are well known for their eclectic blend of nu-metal, reggae, hip-hop and punk rock. They have really created and sustained a unique niche in the industry and it’s not surprising they continue to show up for their loyal fans, who in turn made the night at The Eclectic Room in Angola, IN great! 

In over 25 years of band history, the BEATSTEAKS have released eleven long players, including rock masterpieces like “I Don’t Care As Long As You Sing”, “Hand In Hand,” “Hello Joe,” and “Cut Off The Top.” Simply an invitation to sing along at full volume. At this performance at the LKA Longhorn, the band impressively proved that even after countless concerts and festival appearances, they still belong to the most energetic live bands of our millennium. Support came from International Music.
