Swedish punk sung in the southern dialect skanska makes up for a special treat. Sounds more desperate and obnoxious. Problem goes through punk in Va har jag gjort?, 60s flavoured powerpop in Jag vill inte ha, good ‘ol rock in Malmo sta and then back to punk in Kroppsvisit. The low budget production and the brilliant lyrics makes it sounds punk all in all.
Problem made a very good LP after this but after that they became less and less interesting to me.

Excellent Stuart! Thanks!!!
Problem are playing in Malmö at Bodonis on 15 may 2007
I have always wanted to hear this-thanks. Any chance of an upload of the rehearsal tapes they did in the early 1970s?
