Re-post from Sep. 7th 2006. New high quality rips of all the tracks plus bigger scans. When I read the post again I wonder why I never played this record for Packe since I’ve had it since the early 1980’s. Same goes with the awful Gollywog 7″ from 1978 that I thankfully got rid off. What does LLR means by the way?

As you know both Peter and I are from Sweden so I guess you like us to post some swedish nuggets! Well, I don´t want to disappoint you so here´s a smasher from Brülbåjz. I hadn´t heard this until early 90´s and was totally blown away! This is top 20 swedish 7″ if you ask me.

Member/members later found fame in SATOR – a swedish punk/rock band.

Bakrus – Nettan/Lamrock 7″

Bakrus were not a punkband, but rather five incredibly handsome raggare from Asa (yep, the same town as Glo, Oss and Shas) that released two 7″ where this is the second one, and the only one worth hanging in the fir-tree. The a-side Nettan is the sad story of a poor girl who’s boyfriend died and she became a speed addicted prostitute. Of course the story ends with poor Nettan dead in a dirty bathroom. Very moralizing boogie rock and so fucking Swedish. Oh sorry, I forgot to mention that the song sucks despite the incredibly funny lyrics, and for those of you who don’t understand Swedish you can follow the story in the pictures shown on the back of the sleeve. And while talking about the sleeve it’s impossible to avoid mentioning how incredibly ugly it is in every single way. It makes GG’s early artwork appear as fine art in comparison.

Lamrock (cock rock) was included on KBD 51 and it’s a great smasher, and could just as well been a song by  TT Garderob 100 or Goteborg Sound (and if you take a closer look at the cover art you’ll even see one of the TT beer cans that gave TT Garderob 100 a part of their name). I guess the heritage from football choirs, classic rock and especially Status Quo was too hard for the Gothenburg scene to escape. Something else that’s hard to escape is the fact that this record was somehow sponsored by the removal company Centrum-Expressen who put their logo on the sleeve. What were those guys thinking? If I ran a company I’m not so sure that putting my logo on a record with songs about the hard life of a prostitute, and the story about a sad sod who desperately wants to loose his virginity would be the greatest idea ever. But what do I know, maybe they got loads of new costumers after this record came out? If anyone knows the story behind this, please let me know.

Johnny Concrete – Come With E.P. 7″

Johnny, Johnny and Bubbles can also be heard on the fantastic Paere Punk,one of my top ten comps ever, compilation that Erich posted awhile ago. There the songs where performed by Johnny Concretes other band Dream Police, which Johnny claims to be the best band as heard in Concrete. Five tracks and all them top notch and very diverse from the monotone Johnny, Johnny to the equal monotone but with added out of tune guitar Cheap Trick.

I heard that when Kim Larsen of  Denmark’s Gasoline died Johnny Concrete morphed into a look alike that have tricked the danes for almost 19 years now. It’s the hash and bohemian life style of theirs that makes them easy to fool I guess.

The Genral Foodz – Be So Funny/Love Potion Nr.9 7″

I just feel for some real chainsaw guitars to cut off some of the comments following the last post. Bostons Genral Foodz which I of course don’t know too much about except that Italys Rave Up released a compilation with ‘em. Be So Funny is just classic kbd punk with a shitty production and a fantastic song played with frenzy and snottiness. Love Potion Nr. 9 ain’t too bad either much thanks to the crap production and its shortness. By the way, Destiny wasn’t that the label that released a couple of records by the scumbag GG Allin?

Country: USA

Symptoms – Be On Top/Anorexia Nervosa 7″

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009


I don’t know how I survived without this masterpiece so long. Be On Top sums up everything what’s great about really good music: quirkiness, intense playing, a drummer that knows how to back up a good song without jerking off too much and a shitty fuzzy guitar sound. But most important the Symptoms got such an over the top singer it’s ridiculous. They where from Frisco and sure enough his voice bear certain trade marks of another more famous vocalist out of there.

Anorexia Nervosa don’t live up to the a-sides top notch craftsmanship but is still quiet enjoyable. If not when you have your girl or boy on top. Kind of a good rhythm to ride to. Yihaa!

Country: USA
