Feeling tuff? Got a shaved head? Here’s something for you. Another stolen item. I was a teenage record thief. I won’t go on about CFA. It’s a classic record that most of you know. Sure it’s good but a bit overrated. Kind of genErich in the long run.

The Push - Love U/Zip Demon 7″

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

push_love_front.jpgpush_love_back.jpgpush_love_label_a.jpgpush_love_label_b.jpg


 

Previous post where by an American band so following the tradition it’s time for some swedes to do the punk. The Push can’t be blamed to have a sound of their own. But it dosen’t matter when they manage to crank out a hit like Love U. Don’t be fooled by the intro. Amazing hi-hat sound. Humbugging(I was about to write thuging but the new spell checker in Firefox suggested humbugging instead so lets go with that) guitars and nice gayish piano. How about the photos on the back? Jag frågar chans på Stellan Nilsson iallafall.

 

Forget about their other releases. Bad ska/reggae. Zip Demon is an attempt at playing hard rock but they fail miserably. And guess what? The Push are from Klippan too! What happened there? Why so many great bands from such a small town?

The Broncs - Tele-K-Killing E.P. 7″

Monday, January 29th, 2007

telekkilling_front.jpgtelekkilling_back.jpgtelekkilling_label_a.jpgtelekkilling_label_b.jpg

 

Thin and infectious. “Reason to whine because I don’t have a girl that I can call mine.” something for the emo kids to pick up on. Tele-K-Killing is the standout track but for some reason I like the extremely silly Reson To Whine alot too. Despite the ordinary rock n roll chords it has something that takes a hold of me deep inside. Am I a raggare deep inside? Maybe. Part Of The Problem I can do without. But maybe you can’t so here you have it.

 

Cleveland’s Broncs were ex-AK-47 and pre-Faith Academy: Tim Allee had also played with the Pagans

 

The sleeve you see here is the second press. Never mind the second press here’s the first press.

Mizz Nobody - Smittad/Gania 7″

Wow! What a fantastic guitar sound on Smittad. Aquarium sound. Doesn’t hurt that the song is top notch swedish punk from the golden year of 1978 either. The b-side Gania ain’t that exciting. Mizz Nobody where from Klippan who gave us other great acts like Noise and Kriminella Gitarrer. Eva the singer later went on to Kabinett Dod based in Malmo.

Los Reactors - Be A Zombie/Laboratory Baby 7″

Laboratory Baby is what this record is all about. Plenty of hooks and great arrangement. Listen to the break. And the length? 1:06. Perfect! They got it. You don’t have to repeat the chorus/verse over and over again. If it’s great you get it the first time and if you like it just play the song again. It’s like a speech. If you don’t have anymore interesting to say just quit. You don’t have to repeat the best part over and over. Like this so called review for example. Now it gets quiet boring don’t it? Thought so.

Bruset - Radio Aktiv 7″

Seems that the old Gothenburg scene got me in its grip lately. Radio Aktiv is by far the best song from Bruset etched on to vinyl. Incredible popwerpop/punk the way the super sweet blond Swedish vikings only manage do it.

 

Bruset sounds like some older men who used to be into gubbrock/pubrock discovered punk and decided that is the way to go. Nattsteg is boring boring boring. And you still want to hear it? Ok suit yourself. But keep in mind is another 3 minutes and 13 seconds waste of your life. Think about what other great stuff you could’ve heard instead. I imagen that some of the guys had a girlfriend that liked the b-side and said:”No, Hans I will never suck your dick again if you don’t release Nattsteg. It’s the best song you’ve done. It’s so totally girly.”

Dow Jones And The Industrials - S/T E.P. 7″

Another one of those records that has been posted elsewhere but just can’t be posted enough so here we go. And one of Zero Boys favorite bands so that ties it together with the previous post.

 

This slab is so diverse and got a sound all of its own. From the hooky and outstanding Can’t Stand The Midwest to the more experimental, darker yet great stuff crafted in Let’s Go Steady and Indeterminism makes this is a total winner from start to finish.

Zero Boys - History Of Cassette

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

zeroboys_history_front.jpgzeroboys_hist_label_a.jpgzeroboys_hist_label_b.jpg

 

I forgot to ask Paul Mahren the singer of Zero Boys the history about this tape back in 1991 when I arranged a gig for them at Skylten in Linkoping/Sweden. Why wasn’t it released on vinyl? Why the “Boycott Upstart Records” on the sleeve? Where Upstart supposed to release it and fucked them over? Dunno. Paul was a super nice guy to chat with and the only let down from the show was that they forgotten to play Beach Blanket from their come back LP: Make It Stop which is as good as any of the stuff from their first.

 

So if anyone knows the history behind this tape please let us living in darkness be enlightened!

 

Strange Reaction posted this sometime ago but I thought I might just add my own rip too.
