Usch - S/T 7″
May 15th, 2008 at 11:52 pm
Here’s a classic slab of Swedish punk that’ll make you pogo in front of the computer. Sloppy, weak and totally brilliant!
This was Usch’s first 7″ out of three and it’s their punkiest and best in my opinion. Just listen to that amazing guitar sound and the fantastic way Nike Nojja handles the drums. You don’t hear too many bands sound that way today, do you?!
When they released their third 7″ they changed their name to Enola Gay while they were waiting for the record to arrive from the pressing plant, but they never bothered to inform the pressing plant about that, so now they’re called Usch on the label, but Enola Gay on the sleeve. You don’t see that too often today, do you?! And you don’t see a sleeve this ugly too often either, do you?!

i love this blog! Great fun to hear Nikes first band and how it sound and compare it with Tant Strul that she joined a couple of years later. Im suprised to see that Dan Tillberg of all people produced it.

This 7″ is fucking rad.
I remember that LTO was posted in the New Year’s post. To me, the whole 7″ is fantastic.
