Riistetyt are a Finnish hardcore punk band from Tampere. After Rattus and Kaaos, Riistetyt were one of the first groups in Finland to play hardcore punk. Originally formed as Cadgers, the band was created in 1981 and recorded one split 7-inch with Kaaos before changing their name.{{cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/278014-Riistetyt|title=Riistetyt on Discogs|publisher=Discogs|accessdate=October 4, 2019}} They played until 1985, then reunited in 1991 and have been active ever since.{{cite web|url=http://www.riistetyt.com/history.html|title=Riistetyt History|publisher=riistetyt.com|author=Riistetyt|accessdate=October 4, 2019}}
