A few days ago Swedish television aired the Louis Theroux documentary about America’s favourite family, the Phelps, of the Westboro Baptist Church fame. Unfortunately I missed most of it, but I’ll be sure to watch the rerun this weekend as the church have a message that really speaks to me. Anyway, in the short part I saw some of the members talked about their feelings for Sweden, and to no surprise they hate this godawful country like everyone else. What really surprised me thou was when I went to their Swe-info website was why they hate us and our country so much. Sure, they do mention our sodomite king Goofy who threatens to sue WBC, our fag kissing government, our bestality and other whoredoms, and not to forget the way Swedish media and our injustice system treated poor old pastor Green. These are all obvious reasons, but underneath it all I can see the real reason why they hate us, and it’s not our racial superiority that I’m quite sure a lot of you would guess, but our magnificent punk scene! And to prove it I give you the second 7″ from Gothenburg’s grumpiest old men, Goteborg Sound.

If you wanna hear more of them (which you do), just do a search for them on this site and you’ll find their third and forth 7″. I’m sure Peter will post their first one as well sooner or later as that’s another nice slab of boogie punk that everyone deserves to hear.

This one came with a different sleeve as well, but if you buy that one, you can’t laugh at the similarities between the guy in the left corner and everyone’s dream guy, Tomas Brolin.

Acklet was the first track I heard from this now classic tape by Swedens Missbrukarna. It was aired on the swedish state controlled channel P3 and the show was Ny Vag. They played a couple of more tracks like Brinnande kors, Energi at Sverige and Var ar all sex? I think. It still bogles my mind that no one released this as an LP back when. Rolf I know you’re lurking around here tell us.

As a youngster I could play this from start to finish only to skip Vi blev radd(odd grammar here). It’s still great but today I think there’s a couple of fillers I could live without like Vredens dagar and Van av ordning. And still the most outstanding track: Acklet the creative use of feedback gives me chills man.

Yeah, Headache’s “Can’t Stand Still” sounds good…then I can find it on Ebay for around 1 million dollars!!! Hooray!! Jay Thurston’s comment on Anti Social October 6th, 2008.

OK Jay, here you go! Now go spend that 1 million $$$ on Ebay and remember that this site is all about that dirty punk money.

I’m 100 % sure that Can’t stand still was written after Colin Chew came up with that amazing drum beat as that has to be one of the most complicated drum beats ever. I have no idea of how many years he had to practice before he learned it, but I know that neither I or The Flakes//Drummer can play it yet. I’ve tried it so many many times but I just can’t do it. And pay attention to the speed as well! Holy macaroni Batman and up yours Massgrav!

No reason for your call sounds like Can’t stand still played backwards and a bit slower and it owes quite a lot to the Who. It could’ve been a pretty boring song, but luckily it’s catchy enough to get my attention, especially since I’m a sucker for songs where the singer mainly talks through the verses. And the way the drums kicks back into the song after the chorus always puts a smile on my face. Such a killer fill! Is it me, or is the bass slightly out of tune by the way? It’s me, right? It’s always me…

I’m always thinking of Goran Lind the singer from Swedens S.O.D. when I listen to old Italian Hardcore. Maybe cause he was the guy who sold the early stuff like: Wretched/Indigesti split, Peggio Punx etc etc. Here’s one of Italys finest. Intense, desperate and energetic. AND the drum sound! One word: WOW!

There’s many bands that I really like then there’s bands that I really really love. Descendents have always been one of them. Just listen to my old HC band Raped Teenagers and you can hear I ripped off a lot of beats from Descendents and continue do so whenever I can. I know I’m a bit late on this but you know Frank Navetta died on the 31st of October.

As one of the co-founders of the band, responsible for the art on this EP and composer of many a great songs his importance can’t be overstated. And he will always be remembered as the guitarist on one of the best Punk LPs ever made: Milo Goes to College.

Hard to pick a fave among the five tracks here but over the years Mr. Bass has grown on me and that’s a Navetta song so this goes out to you Frank.
