These are some old boys from Sweden that blows most of the younger boys away. This is their 10th 7inch. How can a band manage to keep up the quality on their 10th 7inch? Beats me but they do. Perfect blend of Hardcore and Punk Rock.

HFOS is always disguised but from what I know the drummer plays powerpop last friday every month at some cheezy bar in Stockholm. I have to find him and reveal their identities. Second press still available from Ken Rock and Wasted Sounds.

Check the boys out.

This gives me almost the same kick as when I heard the Discharge, Teen Idles, Germs or any other of the old bands that sounded like something you hadn’t heard before. I say almost cause it dosen’t sound as “new” as at it did back in the days BUT it has the exact feeling that I’m looking for in bands. The oh so releaving “I don’t give a fuck!” attitude.

I saw these guys live some weeks ago and it was magic. I was about to yell something in “ostgotska” the home dialect of mine cause the singer Otto sounds like he comes from “Norrkoping”. A dialect that sounds like you got a lobotomy. Combine that dialect with great punk rock and you have a winner. Have been compared alot to Circle Jerks. And comparsions can be made cause you can clearly hear the influences. But let’s face it! They’ve refined the sound of Circle Jerks and this is better. Watch out for more Regulations to come.
