A perfect powerpop hit that clocks in at 1:54. These boys where from Holland and I think this is their only 7inch release. Haven’t heard their LP “Bad Boy” but been told it should be pretty good. “Tomorrow” is available on “Best Of Powerpearls”.

“No this one was NEVER released with sleeve.”. Rob Noxius goes to Stockholm I do research on Google. Ok, it came with a sleeve. Rob my dearest of friends send me a signed sleeve. Yes I want it signed by you. You are my punk rock hero. How many times can I rant about Rob? Forever baby! Ideals out of Texas first 7inch recorded live at the legendary Rauls Club the 18th of September 1980. Sleeve on loan from Texas punk discography by Paul Routenberg and Henry Weld. This is pre Hickoids.

Another fine example of that Spaceward studio sound! GREAT!

Sorry, but I haven´t got the time to do research about the bands… I can only give you the music and then it´s up to all of you sharing information in the comments.

Yes! The ugly cover don’t make you eager to listen to it. There was a really great record shop in Stockholm in the ’80s where you could find lots of used records(Zero Boys, Hypnotics etc etc) and be able to listen to the vinyl. If I hadn’t been able to listen to it I would never invested the vast amount of 23 swedish crowns into it. Talk about an underrated record here! If you’re like me and love Legal Weapon, 45 Grave, U.X.A. and such I think you’ll love this. Somewhat reministic to Plasmatics in some degrees.

Alot better then the hyped “Kill For Cash” 7″. I was so dissapointed when I got hold of “Kill…” that I got rid of it right away. What was/is all the fuzz about? This on the other hand is a solid killer NY punk rock 7inch. I saw a video of a reformed Kraut and it was…well am I allowed to use THAT word again? Ok here we go: CRAP!

Nostaliga is great. That’s what punk rock is all about. Looking back into the past and remember how great it once was. Here’s another goose bump thing to look at.

Love In A Void

“Amsterdam” was heavily rotated on my Killed By Death Radio station when it was up and running. I heard the song for the first time in 2003 and was shocked I hadn’t heard anyhing about it earlier since it’s one of the best powerpop/punk songs from Sweden ever. The site from where I bought it and read some info I was told it was a one man project: Joakim Hermelin - Amsterdam 7inch and where from Vadstena.

I have to stand corrected on this one cause it’s a band named Etiquette Mona and they where from a shit hole 40km away from where I lived: Motala. Hermelin(the man behind the songs) and one of his former band mate have reunited: Landlord. Plain white sleeve but comes with a lyric sheet.

Sussie Nilsson counts in quiet fast on the tom toms and then struggle to keep the tempo up. Fabolous sloppy and amateruish punk rock in the vein of Panics and Vast Majority. I heard this for the first time some two years ago and I know absolutly nothing about them. Can’t recall seeing their name back in the days either.

This is an example of an overrated record. I’ll put it up here so you know what not to spend your hard earned money on. “Activated Energy” was issued on Killed By Death Vol. 12. From Milwaukee, WI and was known as Modern Physics before they changed their name to Lubricants. “Trans-formation Vacation” is ok but WHY in the name do a punk rock song that drags on for 3 minutes and 36 seconds?
