I’ve always had a hard time with so called garage punk. Just too damn generic most of the time. New Bomb Turks? Please! Sack O woes on the other hand whom I guess could be put into that narrow gengre? Or maybe not. They’re too good for that! Let’s just call it Punk Rock.

 

Niels and Joost from SOW played in Gepopel. And just as Gepopel had IT when it came to Hardcore Sack O Woes has IT when it comes to playing engaging, frantic punk with carefull attention to arrangement details.

 

Why haven’t Sack gotten more attenition then? Sorry Niels but I guess it’s the sleeves. They’re really awfull. Except for their latest one White Out(posted some months ago) which is silk screened and looks really nice.

 

I swear that people will be looking for Sacks releases in 10 years time. This is their second 7inch. And hold and behold as you can hear on their latest White Out they seem to only getting better and better!

The Busy Signals - Love And Dust E.P. 7″

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

busysignals_loveanddust.jpgHere’s another fine example that it’s worth to roll up your sleeves and start digging for new bands. Just Wanna Go Out will easily get a place on future punk rock compilations of obscure and lost 7inches from the year 2005.


 

Why are The Busy Signals so fucking great then? Well an excerpt from an interview in Chicago Reader may reveal a little bit of it:” The Busy Signals have plenty of ambitions, but making it in the music biz isn’t one of them. The local five-piece takes after record-geek favorites like the Kids, Protex, and the Boys — late-70s and early-80s also-rans who played electrifying melodic punk and power pop but barely got within spitting distance of commercial success. “We’re ripping off bands that at their most popular were only marginally popular,” says drummer Frankie Jensen. “Groups that put out a couple great singles, maybe did one album that no one can find anymore, and that was it. It sounds fucking ridiculous, but that’s our goal ultimately.“.

The Vicious - Suicidal Generation 7″

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

vicious_suicidal.jpgIt’s something coocking in Sweden. You’ve heard “Knugen Faller” before and here’s “The Vicious”. Has “Sara Almgren” who played keyboard in “T(i)NC”. Heard they’re in USA right now on a tour so here’s a little plug to check ‘em out. Vicious have an LP out too that I still haven’t heard.

Knugen Faller - Inte Som Ni E.P. 7″

Saturday, May 6th, 2006

knugen_intesomni.jpgWhat strikes me when I rip Swedens finest “Knugen Faller” is that the bass line is the same as one of Raped Teenagers(our old band) old songs “Jag Vill Inte”. But this is of course much better. I was kind of euforic when I first heard “Knugen Faller” thinking “wow at last someone gets IT again”. This is their second 7inch and has members from some more well known swedish bands. No I won’t tell you who they are. In my opinion this is one of the best swedish punk rock 7inches ever made.
