SÖTLIMPA - A Non Fitting Generation 12'' 1984

It's a bit chilly this morning so it takes some heated music to warm you up and the following slab from Skvaller Records does that perfectly. Sötlimpa was a Swedish combo from Mölndal outside Gothenburg and consisted of Jesus (vocals), Martin (guitars), Raimo (bass), Hans (drums). The band was formed 1981 in the beginning of the second wave of Punk, influenced by bands like the Exploited and developed from Punk with Oi!-influences to a raw Hardcore quartet. In total they released a Single, a 12Inch and two cassettes and represented on numerous compilations. They disbanded in 1984, before re-emerging in 1992, 1996 and 2017. In their relative short time if existence the gang is claimed to have made around 100 gigs and earned a reputation as a great live band. A useful review: "Up-tempo Hardcore with catchy rhythms from Sweden’s Sötlimpa. Driving pace but it keeps the harmony and beat. Fun, danceable stuff. Too bad it’s a muddy mix; still, you’ll never know as you fly with the music." (Pushead, MRR #20 • Dec. 1984) - Brilliant Stuff!
