BROTTSKOD 11 - Levande Döda Tape

After looking at the artwork of this tape regarding to the title "living dead" I expected another boring Misfits-clone, playing this slow kind of horror-punk, so many bands does. Only empty phrases dealing with every zombie chlichee you can imagine. But almost after a few seconds of listening to BROTTSKOD 11 (by the way I didn't find out what the bandname means... is it similar to "without a trace..."?) I had to accept that this stuff is one of the greatest hardcore-punk tapes I ever listened to. You will get eight songs with Swedish lyrics but after a short mail I got the English translation from Frederik, who is responsible for the brutal vocals, so I can tell you a little bit what they are singing about. For sure they handle with some topics that fits to their style and outfits but not devoid of meaning or just because they have to sang about, because they look like zombies. Songs about the death and the sense of death are well thought out even though the song "Levande Död" is a paradigm of zombie chlichees, but it kicks ass! The other songs are very sociocritical (about the media, the latest riots in Egypt or actually about Fukushima in Japan), short, straight in your head... hah, I really enjoyed listening to this tape. Search on You-Tube and watch their video-clip, visit their homepage and order a tape, before they are all sold-out. You won't find a download-link with these eight songs at this place, just a link to their page, where you can listen to four songs and the English translation of the lyrics. "They keep coming back in a bloodthirsty lust..."

NITAD - Den Gudomliga Världen EP

 

This band out of Stockholm released a bunch of singles and all of them with an extraordinary wonderful artwork. They play a really cool style of hardcore punk and because of the German zine Plastic Bomb (there's an interview with them) I was indicated with their rough music. I never saw them live but would love to do in future... most of their songs are very personal... ah, I want to give you a quote from the interview: "I always try to be honest when I write songs. And thats the reason most of the songs don't deal with politics..."

ARCATERA - The Lot Of Men To Suffer And Die CD

Found this great band while searching new and unknown artists for the Schweden-Punk compilation tape. Great crustpunk. Fast, angry and furious... can't get enough of this stuff!!! They released a 7" together with Reign Of Bombs and one with a Turkish band. This CD was made in 2006 and I think it's time for a new album!!!

SJU SVARA AR - Demo CD

Not original artwork! Found that pic at their myspace site and like it! This band founded in 2001 released a demo and recorded a 7" which never was released. In 2003 they quit playing... but now, more than seven years later they finally finished their debut album. Here you can download their first demo. You ask about their msuic? Ok, I'll quote a sentence from their biography: "Our goal was to do simple and melodic punk with politically charged but still personal lyrics in Swedish." Timo from Alerta Antifascista records wrote about their actual album: "This is the best punk record since the Assassinators LP!" and he's right!!! Sju Svara Ar is a kind of All-Star band, the members play in other bands like Burning Kitchen, Asta Kask, To What End, Wolfbrigade... and I hope they will find a little bit more time for this band I don't have to wait seven years again for a new record...

BURNING KITCHEN - Damn If You Do... 10"

Wow, this record was first released in 2001, very fast sold out and also the second press two years later is really hard to get. It's not easy to find out any informations about this band. I heard there is an overlap with the band "Imperial Leather" but I don't find anything about it and YEAH, they will play this year at punk illegal, so maybe I can give you some informations after that event... ah I found one thing. In 2002 a band called "Sju Svara Ar" recorded their first demo and Josefine, who is the singer of Burniing Kitchen is at the vocals there, too. So check out this band, too, if you like Burning Kitchen...

KONTROVERS - När spelreglerna ändras LP

This album was released in 2003 and is the last output of this great band! In my opinion a little bit better than the st LP, including my favorite song "lust". Really really great band and if you find their vinyl anywhere... BUY it!

KONTROVERS - st LP

Hell yeah, this is one of my favorite bands from Sweden. Hard and rough. They started in 1996 with very traditional ScandiCrust, but later they changed their style, they developed a more advanced, faster and more aggressive style. Their homepage is abandoned since 2006, so I don't know if there is coming something "new" from this band in the future...

MISANTROPIC - Insomnia CD

The cover is taken from the LP, which is out since a couple of days. Visit their website to order it directly from the band! The same songs were released as CD in 2010 and that's what you get here! Crustpunk with mostly female vocals inspired by many great UK bands like Doom, Extinction Of Mankind and so on... Misantropic are from Umea and sadly I missed them at last punk illegal... I hope I'll get a new chance to see them live...

TO WHAT END - The Purpose Beyond LP

I own this record since more than 6 years. I didn't listen to it that often, but regularly. For me one of the best crustbands with female and male vocals on it. Powerfull, fast forward and at the same time very intensive. "The Pressure Is Gone" is one of my all time favorites song. Sadly I heard nothing new from this band for a long time.. I still don't know if they are are active nowadays...

TOTALT JÄVLA MÖRKER - Söndra & Härska LP

Ah, after the last bubbelgum posts we finally arrive at angry music again. Together with M:40 this band play in their own league. For sure, you can always read and listen band infos that promise you a new spectacular genre and style of music, no band has played before... all bullshit, but there at not so many bands (I know...) which play these black metal influenced style of crustpunk without loosing speed, singalongs and anger Totalt Jävla Mörker use to play. And all of the songs you can get here are filled with it! Here it full blast and banish your neighbours!

THE HIVES - a.k.a. I-D-I-O-T 10"

Maybe one of the most popular "punk" or better underground bands from Sweden. Nowadays the play only big festivals, but I think their music still fits in a smoky club perfectly. I really like the Hives and especially their first output, this 10". Yesterday I saw the Addicts playing their hitsong "Numbers" and while listening to it I thought about this Swedish band and their debut. And now you can think about it, too... haha.

REGULATIONS - To Be Me LP

Latest output from this fantastic band out of Umea. In my opinion they were getting better with every album they released. Every new album includes more catchy songs, this time they wrote a fucking evergreen with "Baghdad Beach Party". GREAT!!!

REGULATIONS - Electric Guitar LP

I saw their first longplayer many times in several distros at liveshows. It seemed this record is available everywhere. I didn't know the band, didn't have any idea about the music they play and the artwork was super ugly, so I never bought the album. Some years later I found their third longplayer "To Be Me" - a really great one and since then I become a fan of the Regulations, although I never bought their debut album until now... This album, their second one (at least I think so) you can get here. Some would say 80ies influenced hardcore in the vein of Minor Threat or Blag Flag, I would say, maybe they are right but I never listen to old 80ies hardcore... there are so much actual bands you can listen to... to come to the point: I don't like Minor Threat or Blag Flag but I fucking love the Regulations!!!

THE MANIKINS - Lie, Cheat & Steal LP

 

“Lie, Cheat & Steal” LP/CD released 2005 on P.Trash Records. Haha, for sure the band can't hear it anymore... if you like The Hives or Henry Fiats Open Sore you will also like The Manikins. It's a few years ago I was really into Garage Punk and LoFi stuff and hell yeah, it's really long time ago I listen to music like that but this was a special recommendation of my buddy Maz and I have to thank him for this! Great band!
