Another one of those “One of the best swedish punk records ever”. Born in the same suburb of Stockholm as Ebba Gron: Ragsved. Most of the Stockholm bands where of course known in most parts of Sweden but it wasn’t until the TV Eye // Drummer introduced me to them a couple of years ago that I heard and heard about them for the first time.
If the first track Arabien would’ve been released today they would’ve easily ended up on some militant muslims death list. It’s just an ordinary anti religion song though Islam is used as the subject and not Christianity as in the majority of punk rock songs.
Luckily for the non swedes here’s a page in english about FDS plus an unreleased track:

Anonymous – Snake Attack/Corporate Food 7″
Saturday, July 21st, 2007
Maybe you’ve heard Corporate Food on the infamous,and probably one of the most important US punk compilations ever: Let Them Eat Jellybeans. But what strucked me is that I really needed to hear Corporate Food again but this time in it’s original format to be able to fully appreciate its greatness. I can’t even remember hearing it on LTEJ. Probably I thought it was too fucked up or something to like it back then. But today my kids I have to say it’s one of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time. So wacky. So much “fuck you” attitude it hurts lies buried in this masterpiece. The guitar solo brings Geza X to mind for some reason. Sounds so controlled yet like he couldn’t care less if it would fit. Amazing.
Snake Attack is far from Corporate Food. Put on your Residents/Snakefinger ears. I happen to like it. Strange. But as I put it on it hypnotize me and I just sit there through the whole song listening to it.
You know LTEJ was released by Alternative Tentacles which reminds me to remind you about The Eat contest that’s going on. Loads of emails are coming in and so far I’ve picked one winner. Keep ‘em coming.

Ok, folks! The nice people at Alternative Tentacles have decided to run a contest here at the KBD blog for the brand new, and may I add awesome, The Eat – It’s Not The Eat, It’s The Humidity CD/LP. The CD/LP compiles songs from all their records and loads of unreleased material. You need this.
So you’re a poor bastard or just a cheap ass punk who don’t want to spend money on punk records? Here’s you’re chance to win a copy of the LP. AT is giving away 3 LPs in total so the first 3 persons who can answer these three mind bending questions and send it off to: info@kbdrecords.com subject: The Eat Contest, will get a nice The Eat vinyl to chew on:
1. Did Exploited save punk rock?
2. Who lit Rodney Bingenheimers hair on fire?
3. Why is swedish punk superior to punk from the rest of the world?
4. How many decimals do PI have?
5. Can you count to three?
The contest ends on the 24th of July and the winners will be presented shortly after this date.
Note it’s a double LP! There’s 3 double LPs to be given away not 5 as stated before. There was some miss from my side.
