TOPPER - Once A Punk, Always A Punk 7'' 2000

From Stockholm comes this combo and this is their debut 7inch on MNW Records. They describe their sound as '77 punk style and the two cuts here are excellent Clash punk with singalongs in a good late 70s Britpunk tradition. "Once A Punk, Always A Punk" became a national success and climbed into the singles chart at number 23, not bad for a punk song. In Autumn 2000 the band was planning to take a first full-length, but their record company MNW went bankrupt shortly before the scheduled recording session. Luckily they get a new contract with Corruption Records and in 2006 finally the debut album with ten songs was released. Topper play at a very high level with brilliant compositions and if you like these two goodies you must buy the record. This 7inch was limited to 2000 copies. In 2009 the 2nd album 'Punk Don't Death (Just Get Through It)' came out and is again full with classic old school punkrock, very solid with strong melodies that crash in immediately. TOP!!
