Killed By Death Records

This is a re-post from March the 23rd 2006. The first record we posted here actually. Added more scans and a new rip.

Bjorn Borg! You haven’t made a descent thing in your life! A somewhat swenglish translation of the famous chorus that I was huming on a lot as a kid. It felt so good cause I generally hated all kind of sports. GBG Sound or Göteborg Sound was of course from Gothenburg. Compared to bands in Stockholm the Gothenburg bands had more of a “progg” feeling and weren’t so punk in their outfits. No studs, leather jackets or mohawks.

The Bjorn Borg 7″ was a self released one sided ditty pressed in 200 copies. No sleeve just the ugly face of Bjorn on the label. Now download.

This is a re-post from April the 7th 2006. Added more scans, new rips and Here To Here.

Two punks in their earlie 30s making music that sounds like it was played by a bunch of higly talented teen punks. You think this is great? Then you shall hear their cover of “Eve Of Destruction” that is even better then the Dickies version! I’ll post that later on so keep watching. Read Ryan Richardsons track down of this band at www.breakmyface.com.

This is a re-post from April the 4th 2006. Added more scans, new rips and Vild i skogen(he he that track ain’t that bad after all).

Sweden had some of the best punk bands in the 70’s beginning of the 80’s. Here’s just ONE example of many to prove it. Dr. Zeke only released this master piece then dissapeared. “Aldrig Do” have been living on diffrent comps during the years though and recently swedens Heart Attacks covered it.

So atonal, amateurish and damn great. Two chords and the talent to sing out of tune. You didn’t need more then that to form your very own punk rock band. And The Pagans realized that. Can’t think of a single record released in 1977 that sounds more PUNK then this. You know in the sense how it was portrayed in the media and conceived by the masses. The Pagans released some seven inches after this that where miles better but then again concidering it was done in 1977 all by themself…

I’ve added a couple of new links! Sorry for letting you guys wait. I’ve also received a couple of mails that showed up when I visited my webmail but when at home trying to download them they’ve mysteriously vanished. If you know you need an answer please write again.

The fact that this was posted 1 year ago over at Good Bad Erich needs to be celebrated with this repost including all the scans.As you all know Stains moved to SF and became MDC.

One of my highlights in my career as the drummer for Swedens Raped Teenagers was when we opened up for MDC in Stockholm 1987. MDC came in and was all over the place except for Dave that I was able to talk a little to and seemed mentally stable and physically fit. The bass player kept asking for pot and was one hell of a guy when it came to yoga. I was amazed at how he could bend his legs when he did some yoga right before the gig. They where also very supportive and told us we kicked ass. We had our bald headed, skinny violinist Lachen with us that didn’t seem to be appreciated by all the studs and mohawks punk. But we rocked and left them with an impression that you can use violin in HC if you want to.

It’s a new year coming and remember that we all where born to die!!!

This is a re-post from April the 3rd 2006. Added more scans, new rips, Paddedd Cell and Tumor Boy.

There’s no doubt that these punk rockers are mentally ill. How well they capture it in this fuzzy buzzy manic sing along punk rock anthem. Where are the psychos in punk nowadays? Recommendations? No not The Spits I don’t like them.

This is a re-post from April the 21th 2006. Added more scans, new rips and I Wanna Be A Cowboy. Got a sleeve now. Please let me know if this sounds better then the old rips since I’m using some new gear.

No, Rob Noxious(Guy Robert at eBay: lewdsnot, zoloft_anaconda,thingsdogsdo) didn’t give me a sleeve to this one either. If anyone have a 150dpi scan to hand over to me that would be higly appreciated. So the sleeve is once again taken from Henry Welds American Punk Discography. Hope you hear Ians voice when I say: “Thanks Henry!”. What about Buck Byron? You tell me. Haven’t find anything on the Internet. You won’t get the b-side cause it’s not good. It’s a waste of bandwith to have it available.

This is a re-post from March the 27th 2006. Added more scans, new rips and I Wanna Be Your Man. This almost tops The Eat.

Ahhh so intense. Listen to the hi-hat sound. You don’t hear that nowadays. And the clicking sound when hitting the ride cymbal. Add to that the (r)obnoxious “I don’t give a fuck” style of singing and we have a winner. And the way they end the song it sounds like they’re just glad it’s over. The b-side “I Wanna Be Your Man” is a great cover with inspirational vocals.

Country: USA
Year: 1979
Label: Paradox

Songs:

I Wanna Be Your Man.mp3

First installment of the fantastic The Eat. I like the second,posted some months ago, release but this is an insane piece of punk rock. And it’s recorded live! I hardly like live recordings but here it works perfect. It got so much energy and inspiration I can picture the whole band in front of me while the needle carves its way into vinyl. And last and most important: the songs are short! And the sleeve!! Take a look at it ladies and gentlemen! Can it get much better? Let’s see when a new post hits the blog if I can top this.

Country: USA
Year: 1979
Label: Giggling Hitler
Format: 7″
Songs:
Communist Radio.mp3
Catholic Love.mp3

This is a great two sider! Cheap too! Get it! Underrated? I think so. Ultra thin production and cheap guitar sound makes this a total winner.

“If you’re gonna do something. Do it right. Don’t use bullets. Use dynamite.”
