ASTA KASK - Handen På Hjärtat 2013

Founded 1978 in Töreboda, Asta Kask have been on the road for a number of years and have released a couple of important albums. Handen Pa Hjärtat is their latest one and the first thing that strikes you is the grandiose cover, which I think is very successful. Speaks a clear language, doesn't it? Also noteworthy the record label with the sonorous name "Kloakens Alternativa Antiproduktion" which immediately makes me smile and I tip my hat to so much creativity. This is what I called D.I.Y. Their two 80's albums Med Is I Magen & Aldrig En are fantastic must-listen slabs and with this piece of wax they continue seamlessly. Eleven melodic icings that delight the heart and push you into another dimension, even the Martians fall off their chairs. Despite singing in Swedish, the band have gained international reputation and their songs have been covered by acts from three continents. You see, you don't always need English. Enough words, I have a lot of housework today and maybe I'll rip another record, ma gugge.

TV EYE - My Generation EP 2017

It's going to be wild, loud and brutal with the last record by TV Eye on Hoax Records, released in an edition of 100 copies in marbled vinyl. This Swedish combo was formed in 1998 by former members of Raped Teenagers and Second Sight and consisted at last of Johnny (vocals & guitar), Mat (guitars), Glade (bass), Pat (drums). Seven fast dynamic short killers in an excellent production, as many Eighties Hardcore combos would have wished for. They conjured up two albums, two 7Inches in their short active creative phase and especially the number of tracks on the albums (thirty-one and thirty-two) immediately make me think of the Dirty Rotten EP by Dirty Rotten ImbecilesSo it fits very well, because their music is at home in typical Eighties Punk. My Generation is catchy, authentic and fresh, enjoy!

ATTENTAT - Tatuerade Tårar 1981

Tonight dear friends I'm going to the first concert after a two-year Corona break and I actually wanted to post a cool live recording of the band, but I don't have much time, I'm going to the dentist right away (my third doctor's appointment today) and I have to hurry, quickly ripped an LP in between..... puhhhh stress what/is announced. To the post: Attentat are Swedish Punx originating from Askim/Gothenburg, and established in 1978. This is their great debut on Hiss Records and more info of them you find on the Som En Fågel post. The lyrics during the first period were not too sophisticated, but nevertheless effective in their straight forwardness based on an anger over the conditions of society and a depression in the face of the harsh demands of adulthood. In addition to aversion to "elite culture", bile was also spewed over other commercial music genres. After a hiatus in 1984 they come back 1991 and signing with Arda Records and since then they've been working tirelessly

V/A - Bollox To The Gonads - Here's The Testicles 1984

Very cool compilation on Pax Records with twelve combos, mostly from Europe, and the selection is quite okay. I mean, thirty songs on a record is not common for the time and that makes this record all more interesting. A review: "The Pax label is doing some valuable work with the best of intentions. They’ve gone international on this, the follow-up to their Punk Dead? Nah Mate compilation. This time around, they include four uropean, eight English, and one American band. Most of them are real strong and really tear it up, so don’t miss it." (Ruth Schwartz, MMR, Oct/Nov.1983) - Re-released as a cheap CD-R by Retro Records but the original is obviously better. An insert was to my knowledge not included. Enjoy!

V/A - Powerpearls Vol.4 1999

You certainly weren't waiting for this compi, because it's no longer a rarity in Blogland, but I almost forgot that I have a few of my own rips from this great Powerpearls series, which I wouldn't want to withhold from you. Part IV is again full with rarities of the years 1977-1981 from around planet earth and as always, the bar is set decently high because the originals are as rare as snow in July (North & South Pole area not considered). What should I write next? It's great, that are people who probably have enormous costs associated with such projects and share their collection with us mortal music freaks and therefore have the will and consistency to implement this, pull it through and let us be part of this undiscovered music & bands. I take my hat off and I share a beer or two with those, cheers! Song selection is superb and I'm going off to the weekend and look what comes next.

E.A.T.E.R. - System Failure... Abort And Retry 2010

The word for Monday comes today from Distortion Records with this superb compilation by E.A.T.E.R. (Ernst And The Edsholm Rebels). Originally formed 1982 in Grums, they released four EPs and the legendary split tape together with InchargeEighteen decent hardcore smasher from the Eighties (including the EP, the split tape & the Really Fast compi goodies). In the mid 80's Ernst & the Rebels dissolved after tremendous turbulence but reunited 1985 with new members, Snake (bass) and Jerker (drums). Some gigs were made with this setting. In 1986, the band was reunited once again with Pelle back on the drums, when they, among other things, did a European Tour and in 1989 they split up finally. - They reunited in spring 2010 again with new members and played at Punk Illegal, their first gig in twenty-four years. During the summer more gigs followed and in September they recorded their second EP If Nothing's Right...Go Left! with five newly written songs, released in 500 copies with a deluxe folding cover and splatter-colored vinyl. In October came this little fucker on vinyl in a limited edition of 300 copies in transparent vinyl, 700 in black. More touring through the States (2011) & Japan (2013). A fourth 7Inch Projectiles For The People came in 2015 with five more songs on Ernst Records. In January 2017 EATER decides to close down all operations after two years of inactivity. And now.... enjoy loud, shrill, upbeat melodies.

V/A - P.E.A.C.E. Compilation 2LP 1984

I don't think this excellent release in form of a double record set can be more topical, and as we all have to realize, mankind hasn't gotten any wiser even after almost forty years. There is always some aggressor somewhere who expresses its sick ideology with lies and blind helpers and it is appalling that no diplomacy, no system, and no sensible compromise can prevent a violent confrontationPathetic, disappointing & lifeless all the pursuit of power and heroism. About the record: "This massive international Hardcore/Punk compilation features fifty-five bands/songs and was organized and released by the infamous MDC on the band's own label R Radical Records. The worldwide hardcore scene was at its peak at this point, still underground enough to repel corrupting outside influences like major labels and heavy metal, but already hardened into a rigid aesthetic and political dogma that often encouraged groupthink and musical conformity. P.E.A.C.E. documents the state of "Reagan-era" Hardcore, just before the popularity of extreme music spread through decidedly non-radical camps and into the mainstream. Among the fifty-five bands on board are well-known plus the best tracks by courtesy of obscure groups of the local scenes from Argentina, South Africa to Japan. Most of the bands included retain, either through design or some bizarre quirk of ineptitude, a stamp of individuality on their sound that makes this an entertaining collection.

An extensive booklet insert is packed with political rants, cartoons, and suggestions for further reading, making explicit the double-LP's theme of activism and action against a corrupt authority. Plus, each band is provided with a full page to express their ideas (and plug their wares) with printed lyrics and crudely effective collage art. Reissued on CD in 1997 by New Red Archives with bonus cuts." (Fred Beldin) - A real highlight of an international gathering that shows how it can work.

ZEB & THE FAST ONES - Raggare Beware + 1 EP 1983

One more highlight from Sweden today with Zeb & The Fast Ones from Linköping and they released two incredible 7Inches in the early Eighties on Eugen Records. And Ola tells you a bit about the band that is captured on B-Sound which I of course reproduce here for you lazy bitches: "This is the story about Zeb & The Fast Ones as I can remember it. All I will tell has hopefully happened and it is in fairly right order as I remember it. You should remember that it was over seventeen years since Zeb and the fast ones were active, so to you who think you can the history better I hope you will overlook. Spring 1983, Zeb were established by Ola (vocals), Lärm (guitars), Martin (bass) and Ove (drums). All members had known each other since nine-year compulsory school. With just a pocketful of own songs and some cover we made our live entrance the summer 83 on an outdoor event in Valla. With about the same number of tunes the band did enter Bosses studio the fall 83 to record what became our first single Raggare Beware. After this a number of plays at home ground. Especially was a play at Kvinnebygården when we entered the stage without guitarist, not the worlds most successful concert but it was appreciated by all who at this time liked experimental music. Zeb & The Fast Ones did also manage the trick to go outside Linköping.

Sometime the winter 83/84 the way was to Stockholm and the famous stage Tre Backar. We were the last band on stage this evening and the arranger cut the power just after a pair of tunes, not exactly what we had expected. A play same winter in Jönköping resulted that we got the opportunity to be warm-up band to Peter and the test tube babies. 6. June 1984 we entered the stage in Jönköping’s cultural art center accordingly for the biggest audience we ever should meet. If we had been some older and more experienced we should certainly solve this mission better, but as I remembered the play (or the little I remember) we mangle as possessed by a devil and then the result was accordingly. Well, 1984 was a delicious time and to Jönköping many of that times celebrities as Black Flag, G.B.H, Adicts and Johnny Thunders. It was also at that time the second Zeb single was recorded. If it was at the spring or the autumn I cannot say. Worth to be mentioned about the second recording was that Bosse had become tired of our huge consumption of medium-strong beer and gave us the advice to drink strong spirits then it should result in a lower amount of empty bottles.

On autumn 1984 also a second guitarist was recruited named Finken and the time with him was however very short. The tune writing accelerated autumn 84 but the writing of lyrics didn’t. At a concert on Arbis with its fine old traditions (as warm-up for the Vibrators) certainly 3-4 tunes lacked a real text. This caused me and also Martin change our roles. Thus I started to play bass and Martin began to sing. It showed to not work either and the consequence was that Martin left the band in spring '85. Myself I throw in the towel after an outdoor concert in Trädgårdsföreningen the summer 1985.

Some time a wise man said probably: "If you want to quarrel with your mates you should establish a punk band". Exactly this happened Zeb & The Fast Ones. The personal chemistry might not have been the best from the beginning and the fact that all members had different opinion on how seriously you should look at things did not make the situation better. Anyway we were a Punk band in the crowd, not better than or worse than anybody else and the memory still lives as a batch of wear singles as from time to time change owner on some vinyl fair. We had our moments and I still remember this period with happiness."

So folks, many thx to Ola for his authentic impressions and now: ENJOY!

AOOUH! - The Lost Tape EP 2016

Rare stuff by this Swedish combo from Stockholm and Aoouh! never made anything on vinyl, memberes were Mats (vocals), Hans & Stellan (guitars), Björne (bass), Mikael (drums) and this goodie came in 250 handnumbered copies via the Spanish Ghost Highway Recordings label. Side A was recorded on 13.12.1978 at Polyvox Studios/Stockholm, Side B recorded live 04.05.2013 at the BFH. This record was a "Fuck Cancer" release and the money of the selling of this slab will go to the cancer research and was made in memory of Stellan who died of cancer in 2012. Not much is known about the band and the internet does not provide any information either, but musically they are in the top league and are certainly one of those who, probably due to tragic circumstances, did not manage to raise any money to record a 7Inch, or they were a short-lived momentum, who knows. So it's even better that the few songs they recorded have been dug up and pressed onto a small piece of vinyl for us KBD maniacs, to enjoy. Nice record in every way!

N.O.S. & ZYNTHSLAKT - Och Hör Sen!! EP 1982

One more request today with this frenetic trashy EP by two Swedish combos with three songs each from the early Eighties. N.O.S. was actually the first band that together with Köping mates Zynthslakt made a record, the Och Hör Sen!! EP. Released on Commando Z, it was all done through TBV, a study circle which offered a good way to record music. "We had access to a rehearsal room through the study circle TBV... that included six hours of studio time, which we used to record the single. However, Lillis (drums) never came to the recording, he cowardly, so we had to use the study circle leader Tjabo as drummer. He ran a drum solo using a plastic cookie jar on a dustbin. Incredible man!" states Goofy (vocals/guitar). Tommy was initially as singer & frontman in N.O.S., Goofy remembered once when they played in Hallstahammar's Folkets park, "A lot of raggers were crowded at the front of the audience and Tommy shouted swear words at the rags all the time. It ended with that we were "chased" by the rags when they went back to Köping. We played an instrumental version of the Czech national anthem. Thought it was neat and cool to play. Maybe it was from that that Per Granberg's Charta 77 was born?" thinks Goofy. These recordings are their only vinyl release. About Zynthslakt you take the information from the previous posts.

ZYNTHSLAKT - Hit Med Stålarna! EP 1986

For all who came late to this nice combo the band were merciful and with this self-produced single they threw out their entertaining anecdotes among the people for the last time. Zynthslakt were Punx from Köping and this last pig features all six songs from the split EPs they released in the early Eighties. A short review: "This Swedish ensemble hits with some hard-hitting blows, using raw guitar and drum mixtures with harmonious vocals, a little say, and just pure driving energy." Pushead (MRR #20 • December 1984) - Well, not really to this record, but his words can confidently apply to this one in my opinion. One's for sure, is worth downloading and since it's Monday today, it's an ideal enrichment for the six o'clock tea, enjoy!

BRÄNDA BARN - Allt Står I Lågor 1983

After two 7Inches Brända Barn from Sundsvall recorded their first album on Mistlur and their musical inspiration goes now more into new wave on this and Jan Strandquist joined them as new band member on keyboards and percussion, but in 1984, Brända Barn took their first break from touring, and also as a band. Eight songs with a distinctive voice and very melodic and I can't think of any more, except, the grandiose cover is worth mentioningNot a bad album, but in this genre, the bands from the UK are in my opinion catchier and far more attractive. Apparently still active, mainly in their homeland. Test it!

V/A - Planet Punk #4 2005

Second and last part of Planet Punk and with Volume 3, this little self-made series is already complete. H2D#26 is another tidbit full of rare stars from international bands that are still kicking ass, much in demand and popular in our fucking disillusioned times which bring little decent music to light in my opinion. Music is like inventions, there is nothing innovative that can really impress me, hardly any wow factor or thing that I can really admire. And I would say that for almost twenty years. Speaking of music, we all hear & see the so called "combos" thrown together, the TV shows which offer only shit and are played over and over by radio stations, all this crap is boring, repetitive and only geared towards profit, commercial shit and really sucks. It's really intoxicating to get acquainted with such music as on this further fantastic compilation and to eke out an existence far away from this dead & dull society. That are the words for Sunday, Amen! Enjoy the vibes of the good ole days!

V/A - Bloodstains Across The World #6 2019

Oh Yeah, the last across the world Bloodstains to date and how we can move into the mood for the weekend more splendidly?... right, drinking with good friends, telling stories and hang out. There are supposed to be 100 copies and like the previous ones, #6 was created by the same detective. All songs are at least decent and some have already appeared on other compilations. What bothers me a little is the poor loveless artwork, very cheap card sleeve and no info about the bands except year of release and their country of origin... but enough grumbling. I have to hurry to catch the train and two beautiful days lie ahead with lots of Backgammon, beer, music and Happi Happi, Cheers!

V/A - Killed By Death #666 1998

Last post in 2021 and the conclusion on wdthtc I want to end with a another great collection of early and unusual European, North American and Australian Punk rarities! Nice job once again have the detectives done and including some relatively unknown obscurities to make those Killed By Death only collectors scurry a little more. There are a few "arty" tracks thrown in here that fits the album right in. A decidedly tasteful international flavor here of some of the most fucked music ever made. Sharpen your silly little pencils cause what's left you're gonna have to add to your want list. So rare you gotta wonder if they were ever made! Overall this is a fuckin' great record, especially this late in the compilation game, worth listening to a few times a year. A total of Nineteen rare nuggets, for you, for me. Take care of yourself and I wish you all a happy fuckin' new year!

KÖTTGROTTORNA - Blodsdans 1986

Debut album by this four piece on Sista Bussen and they were founded 1983 by Janne (vocals/guitar), Jojje (guitars), Mongo (bass), Happy (drums). Köttgrottorna is powerful rock with a good dose of punk and are mostly appreciated by fans of the Swedish punk scene. The songs have consistently charm and long playing time and a lot of solos, but always pushed the pedal forward and very melodious. Sometimes I would like to know what the guys are singing about and how that goes with the sound, unfortunately there's no lyric sheet within, but don't mind. Twelve catchy mid-tempo goodies, a pleasant voice and nothing more is needed to ring in the Feierabend. Solid Stuff!

DOCENT DÖD - Tusen Heta Kyssar Från Docent Död 1981

Long, extensive celebrations require long periods of regeneration, hence the next post to Nikolaus with the third album by Docent Död, originally formed as Docenterna in Sollentuna outside Stockholm 1977 by Joppe (vocals/guitar), Peé (guitar), Larry (bass), Kricke (drums). Together with Mats Olofsson, they formed Docent DödOn their penultimate album, with twelve songs, they once again create an interesting mixture of pop, rock and a bit of punk, all are pleasant to hear. Packed in a very nice child-friendly cover with high standards.

V/A - Beautiful Music For Beautiful People 10'' 1990

 
A tasty 10Inch compilation from Amity Records which was released in seven versions. Ten bands from every corner of the world show their skills to the best and their sound varies from solid punk pieces with a slight metallic hardcore touch. Some of them are well-known and some of the rest are only here. Comes with a decent booklet that is unfortunately missing, anyone useful scans for me? In short, thirty minutes of interesting music whose time you can take without regrets.
