KALASHNIKOV - Subversion 1985

Danish four piece that were active in the mid Eighties and consisted of Charlotte (vocals), Henrik (guitars/vocals), Peter (bass/piano/vocals) and Carsten (drums/timpani/vocals). Some might remember them for the brilliant catchy song 'Schlüters Kabinet', their contribution to the P.E.A.C.E. Compilation from 1984 on R Radical RecordsAdded by two other fine pieces, their first EP, Laederhalse, was released on HUB Records the same year, fast paced protest Punk and a great example of the transitional moment from the early '80s anarcho/street Punk towards the sped-up energy of the thrashier Hardcore era that was waiting around the corner. The album came then the following year and was unfortunately a bit weaker than the 7Inch, despite Charlotte's appealing voice but you should find out for yourselfI guess, the band broke up in the same or the following year and in their very short life-span they at least wrote a memorable song.
