A true classic here, and I’m 100% sure that everyone already love it and know it by heart, but I still want to post it despite that. You know, just because it need to be here. A compilation LP of everything they recorded is in the works by the American label Captured Tracks, and I’m really looking forward to the comp as the live clips online are very promising as you can see in this bone crushing version of Forlast javel with what sounds like improvised lyrics. If you understand Swedish, or just wanna see more of the band there’s a full documentary about them called Samsta bandet ever (Worst band ever) that I’m sure you can find online somewhere. Last thing, the drum intro here!!!

Actually kinda kike this a got an old new wave sound to it right up my alley
What the hell is this? I like it, but I do not understand it. The first thing I learned in Swedish is how to cuss, so I know javel is bastard, but what does forlast mean? Or horforstaelse? And what’s up with the Anton LaVey clone on the front cover or those crazy synth cracks? My head is swimming.
Hörförståelse = Listening comprehension and Förläst jävel = Erudite bastard
Perfect band name & song title!
Thanks for the Swedish lesson, Martin. This band is the Swede’s knees. The videos are fantastic. Worst Band Ever is such a great title.
Now this one I accully like got that old wav sound
The album “Listening Comprehension” will be released on Manufactured Recordings a sister label to Captured Tracks under Omnian Music Group.
