Dagen ar natt is one of my top faves from Sweden. Bjorn Froberg the bassist went on to The Nomads and Pelle Almgren the singer formed Easy Action. The latter was a bad Glam band that made some succes. But they looked good with their funny hair does. Listen closly to the wise words in Desperate: I’m so horny I could die. Won’t you suck me won’t you try. Ehh ok!

Great seveninch by a geat band.
Pelle Almgrens “Easy Action” is NOT the glam “Easy Action” but another band. Though, Pelle formed “Pelle Almgren och Wow liksom” whom had some commercial success during the early nineties. Can’t remember the name of the songs…
Om och om och om igen. In och ut igeeeennnn. Great song!
Shhhhh!!! It was the glam Easy Action ;).
I have always also favored the tune “Dagen ar natt” over “Desperate”. But I guess other people like “Desperate” because its more crude lyrically and more “punk” and was on that Break The Rules comp. In any case, the guitars on this record rule– they’re so razor sharp and right in your face. And that guy Pelle had a good singing style. The Punktjafs site had a few so-so Warheads live tracks on it including a cover of “Search and Destroy”.
Wow! I never heard this. It’s damn great! Thanks.
Enjoy!
Howdy
No “my” Easy Action was not the glam-metal band that had some minor success. We were also glam-ish but also more pop. Same silly hairstyles though…
The sad thing about Warheads is that Stellan, the guitar player who wrote all the songs – some of them pretty fucking excellent – decided that drugs 24/7 was a good career move. We made two more songs for a compilation album before he went weird, not turning up at gigs etc. They say he lives in a cabin in the woods outside Stockholm these days…
Cheers!
