You may have heard the incredible track One For All on the American Youth Report. I was totally floored when I spun it for the first time. But their records where nowhere to be found in Sweden at the time. I heard them on Hell Comes To Your House and the Life Is Boring So Why Not Steal This Record compilations. Here’s their second and last record. It’s almost as good as One For All. Hardcore delivered with originality and passion. While No Passion makes Erich do ugly things Suburban Death Row want’s me to fuck you all. And of course they got great lyrics to boot: I see them leading decent, well ordered lives. With their lovely, stupid children and their K-Mart wives. If the rumors is true that they have an LP full of unreleased stuff I hope it’s from the same session as One For All. 

So what happened with MW after this EP? I really need to know. 

You know Erich posted this one and their first too which I command you to download as well. Yeah, I know I sold my copy of the first EP just cause I was so disappointed it wasn’t as good as One For All.

This is a re-post from October the 2nd 2006. Added better scans and new rips in higher quality.

Lovely punk rock from hockeyplaying(?) Canadians. The only thing I don’t like about this 7″ is the oversized sleeve that makes it hard to fit into a plastic sleeve for protection.

Canada had its good share of outstading punk bands like Bureaucrats beeing one of them The Modern Minds another. Most people associate early punk from Canada with D.O.A and don’t tend to know anymore bands. A shame really.

Here’s one of those fine forgotten bands that did the classic one-song-in-Swedish-and-one-song-in-English-on-the-same-7″ that was quite popular in Sweden during the early punk years. Obviously Container didn’t think two languages was enough when they cut their debut, so they choose two genres as well. Where Livet stinker is great poppy punk with a very catchy aaaaaaaah choir chorus Together with you is more mod pop with a rather odd drum rhythm pattern in the chorus.

This was the third and last release on Jaktskivan, so I guess the band had some kind of connection to Docent Dod, but how? Anyone who knows anything about this band at all? All I’ve managed to figure out is that Lillemor Engholm who produced it had a finger in some more punk records, but I can’t really remember the other ones now. However I did find out that Morgan from Jonstrom (and Morgan) didn’t just record the firsts two Rude Kids 7inches, but also the first Docent Dod.

Haven’t posted many fullength LPs or 12″ EPs in a long long time due to the vast amount of time it takes to rip the bastards. I can’t scan the sleeves either so I have to use my shitty mobile camera. Which don’t turn out that good every time. But when listening to the debut from Minneapolis Willfull Neglect I knew I HAD to post it. It’s such an underrated or just forgotten masterpiece it’s silly. Yepp, our dear Erich of Good Bad Music has posted this in November 2006. The rips are still there so you can download his too but the scans are missing.

1 1/2 year has gone by since Erichs post so WN needs some attention once again. It’s incredible to imagen this was released in 1982! It got all the quality and classicness of the big boom of HC in 1983. And only in the beginning of the 80s you could hear HC bands crank out classic fast tunes like Eat My Shit And Die and the next moment turn to pop in the awesome 5 Nice Guys. And when you thought the great moments where over they leave you speechless with a song like Criminals. Jaw dropping stuff from start to finish.

For those of you who just can’t get enough of LOUD FAST AND HARD music I give you Mops, one of Sweden’s finest in mop top pop. Mops came from Sollentuna just as their friends in Docent Dod, but they had more in common as they were on the same label and let Docent Dod’s Zebo Hillborg produce this 7″. And damn it, I almost forgot to mention that they managed to sound very, very much like their pals as well. It’s actually hard to tell that they were not the same band, but I don’t care as it just means twice as much mod pop fun.

This is their first 7″ out of 3, and if you like this one you’ll like the other ones as well. The third is more mod rock n’ roll, but still very good despite some pretty lame lyrics. As I guess some of you will find this awful and too tame I’ll put up the other two singles later on. Hahahahahah!
