Well known band and a classic debut, so no need for me to spend my valuable time on trying to come up with something clever to write here. Thank Dan for that!

PS. Bill Grundy is burried if anyone still wonders where he is now DS.

Mamma mia. I’m tired. Really tired. But a shemale got to do what a shemale got to do. I have a blog and I have to work on it. So what’s the deal with Jemmy Leggs? You tell me cause I don’t have a clue. There’s four songs. Two of them sucks on daddys bone and the other two don’t. Now you may think that suck on daddys bone is a good thing. It might be. In this case it’s not. The two utterly awesome songs are Blindate and Fireworks. They rule. The other two don’t rule. They suck. End of story.

Naming a record Piss And Shit I expected it to be just about that and nothing else. A bit disappointed there but Constipated makes up for it with lines like: “The turd in me has a mind of it’s own. It calls my colon “it’s new home”.” followed by some screams that I think illustrates quiet well how it may sound for some of us while we try to squeeze ‘em out. Armed with drum machine they sing joy to the software known as Beatcraft in Beatcraft Rulez:”I don’t need no fucking drummer. Burn the kits, drum sticks too. Click away from better then you.” great. The songs are a bit too long. Cut ‘em in half if you ask me. Kind of a fun record much thanks to the digital drums. One of the two guys in The Runs are a regular visitor here and his name is Mat. When the package of 5 records arrived they smelled like they’ve lived in a smoking environment for 20 years. Really, I felt the urge to start smoking again(nowadays it’s just snus). Fave song: Beatcraft Rulez.

Kontaktlim is such a punky name it’s ridicolous! It’s like calling a punk band the Safety Pins, the Glue Sniffers, the Pogo’s or the Mohawks!

Well, never mind the impact adhesives as this is some fine pop punk from one of the first wave bands that took the longest time to get their shit together and end up on vinyl. The boys formed the band in 1978, never played outside their home town and spent 4 years rehearsing before they managed to put these 3 tracks on a platter. At least I’m glad they ended up with one release under their belt before they stormed on to other bands.

The 2 bonus tracks are taken from the Aktiv PR compilation LP that was released in 1981 and apart from Kontaktlim and a bunch of waveish Eskilstuna bands had a killer song from the band Trick that unfortunately never released anything else to my knowledge.

It’s that time again. Time again to post a killer punk record from the States. An overlooked record it seems. A.D.’s crank out two insanely great tracks. Living Downtown gives those who’s longing for a hit their fare share. In there is a guitar solo that works! Fits the song just perfect for once(unlike most guitar wanking solos in Metal. Hi Erich!). For those who’s feeling a bit tuff you can skip to Testing which is a bit faster and simpler nonetheless very great. And hold and behold here’s another guitar solo which is a bit too wanky for me. But even so they let it blend in quiet nicely with the whole arrangement of the song. Fuck I start to sound like a reviewer or like someone who actually knows music. Time to stop.
