Someone asked for this female slab of high quality punk, and when you ask, I deliver. Yes, that’s just another proof of what a good guy I am.

Dressed in tiger striped shirts and leopard patterned pants these Runaways loving teenagers released a bunch of records that sounded more and more heavy metal and rawk n’ rawl. Just like every single HC band from Boston and New York. Such a shame that bands wants to destroy everything that’s good with musical skills, tuning and guitar solos.

The song Fuck off was a “hit” despite being the lamest track on the E.P. and when they did a reunion show in the mid 90’s they were greeted by a bunch of skinheads running towards them while screaming FUCK OFF, just to show them how much they loved that song. I guess they fell for the lyrics as they love to screw their dogs while combing their pubic hair.

Here’s a majspäjs site about them with some funny photos and a horrible video from the 90’s where they do a Kiss song.

Four young punks with no musical experience or talent but shit loads of attitude! The drummer never figured out how to use the kick drum, but did he care? Naaah! Sloppy as hell teenage punk with lyrics that most likely got them in trouble back then, and would probably be trouble today as well. Screaming Heil Hitler out of tune while your mates tries to figure out how to play the famous forth chord always seems to upset people, anyone got any ideas why?

Once again one of my personal favorites and if you don’t like it then I don’t like you! Come on you bastards, make me feel like you need me here or I won’t post more stuff from your Swedish want list. Give me all your love in the comments and I will post the records your mother said were too rare for you thou, I promise.

Yes, Bugs did a second EP in 1980 and two of the songs on that one are amazing so it will be posted here as well, if you give me enough love, that is. And for those of you who are about to ask; no, the drummer plays bass on the other EP, and yes, it’s Mattes brother Rogge who plays drums on Uniformerade man and therefor makes it sound so tight and wimpy… sounds a bit like Blitzen when I think about it.

No, they weren’t Nazis! Learn the superior language for fuck’s sake!

Not enough time. You know how it is. Started work this week. Kind of sucks. I was born to be unemployed but no one seems to listen. I have enough stuff I could do in my “spare” time. There´s enough people who really want to work(yes it´s insane but true). Let them do it. Give me 10% of your salaries and I´ll be fine. 

So The Panics with their mega hit: I wanna kill my mom. The definition of sloppiness together with Vast Majority? Totally love the parts when Mike Ost(cheese in swedish) hits the crash but fails to follow with the kick drum. Ultra thin. Most of you have probably heard this but still it neeeeddds to be posted. How´s their retrospective CD?

The one and only 7″ by Californias Sudden Fun deserves to be posted for one reason and one reason only: the first track. What the fuck happened after that???? Sudden Fun is totally mind blowing but the other tracks makes me believe they had studio musicians and hired a deaf guy to do the rest of the mix. Dada Revolution IS a good song you can almost here it through the bad mix. Ok, the mix gives you a laugh or two. Sounds like the drums are BEHIND you! It’s true! Listen for yourself. How did they do that and WHY(war, famine and corporate crime)????? You can easily tell I was highly disappointed. Someone needs to reissue this as a one track 7″.

Still having vacation so expect some laziness when it comes to regular posting for another week.

London Zoo who’s members where in Blunt Instruments who released a great underrated single. If you favor punk rock with melodies then this is your thing. Receiving End is THE killer track. Incredible catchy guitar riffing going on. Another guy with excellent taste has posted this one too. Yeah of course I’m talking about James/Worthless Trash: http://worthless-trash.blogspot.com/search?q=london+zoo. London Zoo the b-side isn’t too far behind in catchiness but the chorus is just not that interesting.

Hey, even Andy Partridge(XTC) gave this a good review as found in Mario Pancieras fantastic 45 Revolutions book(get it if you haven’t already): “Great cover, muscular sound, flexes well, well displaced record, can’t put my finger on it. Elusive, jumpy, twisting, left the turntable smoking a little, smells good.” Andy Partridge, Smash Hits, Sep 20/Oct 3.

Well you know vacation and stuff have kept me away from posting stuff. So it’s time to spoil you all with two posts in a day. Schluters kabinet was on the P.E.A.C.E. comp. but I think it’s the weakest of the three tracks. Sure if you like some post punk that’s not too interesting. But wait isn’t it Odelaeg og haerg that’s on the P.E.A.C.E. comp but they got the wrong title? Anyway Odelaeg… and Laederhalse makes this E.P. a must in my opinion. While googling I found a review in MRR #15 done by Jeff Bale: http://www.operationphoenixrecords.com/mrrissue15_15MusicReviewsandTheEnd.pdf reading these short reviews makes me think that the shit I write for the posts here ain’t that bad. Up the punx!

This untitled live ep was the first release on the Stranded label and one of the few releases worth looking for on that label, no matter what other collectors might tell you. Anyway, this ep features one of the best bands ever that never got to do a record of their own while they were around. Yes, of course I’m talking about Incest Brothers! They were on the Bakverk 80 split LP with KSMB and Travolta Kids and delivered amazing songs there as well as they do on this compilation. They did reunite and released a mini LP, but that wasn’t until 1984 and as it’s title points out, it was (at least) 3 years too late.

Travolta Kids on the other hand was one of the major players during these years, and appears twice on this ep as Stalin Boys are the kids in disguise… right? Correct me if I’m wrong here, but I’m pretty sure this is one of the 2 monikers they used apart from Travolta Kids as they released a 7″ as Gigolos as well.

I’m listening to the Ruts right now which makes it hard to write about another record, but thought I should let you know that this will be my last post for about a month as I’ll be traveling around the US the next couple of weeks and therefor unable to post anything here. I’ll be back with great records from acts as Bugs, PF Commando, Perverts, Reklamation, Kindergarten, Epidemi, TBC, Anti-Avans, N-Liners, Badboll, Knugens Haf, Livin’ Sacrifice etcetera as well as a couple of non Swedish bands, believe it or not…
