From Uppsala, the same town as Rune Strutz came N-liners who managed to record some amazingly razor sharp punk rock without breaking a sweat. Incredibly tight and well produced music in a equally good looking sleeve. Feel free to go down on your knees and thank me for this one as it will change your life forever. I’m positive Erich will love this one as they have a teeny weeny touch of NWOBHM before that genre was even named. And the encouraging words of wisdom on the insert can be quoted by anyone at anytime and always make people astonished. As a few of you lurkers here don’t master our Nordic lingo perfect yet I’ll translate a line for you, just so that you can see that these boys both walked the walk and talked the talk; “You don’t need shitty equipment to do a lousy recording”. Huh, how about that? Sums up everything you’ll ever need to know in just one sentence.
N-liners appeared with 2 more new wavey tracks on the nice compilation 018- 10 grupper in 1980 as well as 2 more boring songs on the Pop Job comp the same year. Anyway, enough yapping from me as I can feel my grammar getting worse with each new sentance and let N-liners bring back the fuss in music.

I have never, ever heard of this EP before- thanks so much for posting! There is nothin for me like hearing some unknown Swe-punk. I long for the day when I will be able to hear that damn Framfor Flotet 7″. Sigh…
Glad I found something new for you Tony, and hopefully there will be some more new stuff for you in the future, but first some international crap.
More international crap please! Knulla! I like this one, especially Knut. Is it me, or does that snare bit in the intro seem like it goes one brilliant measure longer than it should?
If I really could read your mind I would have posted this one sooner!
There is no Framför Flötet record. Just a bad joke.
Fantastic record Martin! You rule!!!
I already knew I rules, but thanx and up the punx anyway sweet heart.
Well, well. Whattayaknow. Nice to see some interest in the old record. N-liners was part of the punk movement in Uppsala around 1978-1982. We made a few recordings during these years. The old original studio tapes was recently found and we’re thinking of remastering the old recordings. More info on the Uppsala punk scene here: http://tinyurl.com/yeptovx

Recognition, at last!!!
After N-Liners, some of us, including Mr Sandred who left the comment above, formed GQ, an experimental outfit that did some mixed stuff, including some trash-artrock that might entertain some of you punk fans, check out
