THE PAIN - My Head Is Burnin' 7'' 2015

I hope your Easter holidays are going well and I'll sit in the beautiful Wetterau and delight you with another rarity from Slyngel Rekords, # 011 is dedicated to The Pain, a gang of four consisting of Spiv (vocals), the Ant (guitars), Hocky (bass) & Stefan (drums). Little info from discogs: The Pain was the toughest, coolest and the most rowdy of the early swedish bands within the punk movement. The band, which came from Nacka, was born when Staffan and Håkan Uppgren came to a punk gala in France during their train trip, late summer '76. The band didn't get started until about six months later when they got a rehearsal place. Even though the band never played outside of Stockholm, they soon became famous throughout Sweden. After an EP and a single and three different guitarists the band imploded in fall of 1979 into a black hole filled with leather, studs, hydrogen peroxide and Beyaz wine. Hocky went on to play with the groups Chatterbox and La Crosse aswell as in Stabbers (together with Stejmo). Staffan started B-films and Janne Andersson continued to play with Ulf Lundell and also with his band JAPOP. Janne Oldaeus continued with the bands Rost & The Mosquitos aswell as a backing musician in Jerry Williams band. 300 copies were pressed, white vinyl and both songs are outtakes from the same session of their debut EP 'Feel The Pain' 1979 in Stockholm. So far so good, enjoy the sun and another Schätzchen afterwards.
