SLOBOBANS UNDERGÅNG - Maktgalen EP 1979

And again I am grateful that my call was answered and I can enjoy this wonderful EP, and you too for sure. A few days I posted Slobobans I Varje Tid 7'' and this is their first record with four songs with a completly different sound. The EP starts with blast, raw, rough and wild and a real KILLER!!!! Further with a slow number, perfect guitar playin' and the bass is also great as in their other 7''. The b-side starts with a cool reggae motive then turned in a fast snotty punk number, the last one spits a three minutes number out and closes the loop and you want to hear this EP again. Famos!!!! - Here's a little more info: "Slobobans Undergång from Partille was formed during the punkyear 1977. In the beginnig they thought it was much to advanced to do own songs, so some well chosen punk compositions was translated after own head. New York Dolls, Bad Detective turned into Dålig I Matte and The Damned's Problem Child become Mellanöl. But eventually they became more secure and more well together, the first record was the Maktgalen EP on Stockholm label Sista Bussen, within the years it should be 4 more singles. It was as liveband Slobobans did best with the Hassling brothers as double frontmen and a sound that often was accused to be heavy metal like. Besides, that was something the guitarist Gert Petterson was proud to confess. In 1985 the band split-up they had then played around the whole country and been through several musical phases. A problem that the band constant struggled with was to write songs which together with Per Hasslings defection killed the inclination and the pleasure to continue. Sloboban do reunion gigs once in a while and sounds nowadays even harder than before." Fantastic, rare and pure KBD sound.
