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!

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!

ZYNTHSLAKT & THE PAST - 7 Låtars EP 1983

This rare split EP has to bands from Köping on it and their sound is clearly at home in catchy dirty fast punkrock.

Zynthslakt (Swedish for synth slaughter) was a band that started around 1982. Mikael Thörngren, who played drums, was impressed by the energy of bands like the Clash and the UK SUBS. Together with Per Granberg's twin brother John (guitar in Charta 77) Zynthslakt were born. Because it was expensive to make records, explored other bands to share the cost with. Result was the split single with N.O.S. The band released another split EP called 7 Låtars with with The Past. They played a lot outside Norrköping, Mikael remember once in Västerås they liked the band that just played on stage was so bad that they took over the instruments. But it did not get better because everyone was a little too round underfoot. In Kolsva they would play along with Kent Impotent. No one knows exactly what happened, but Zynthslakt never played. According to "Goofy" was the band members had to go home to Köping the evening. The album 'Spraya På En Vägg' came out 1984 on Rosa Honung Records. That same year the band folded. A posthumous EP 'Hit Med Stålarna' saw the light of the day in 1986 containing all the Zynthslakt tracks from the split singles. The track 'En Stad, En Bomb' was contributed to the 1983 cassette compilation 'Bara En Dröm'. 1993 Rosa Honung released another sampler containing the songs 'Religion Blood' and 'Land Of War'. The fact that some members were in the army, disbanded around 84-85. Then started the band J. Hex and the Scarecrows, which did not have much in common with Zynthslakt and its punk.

The Past started by the turn of the year 80-81 and consists of on Roger Andersson (drums), Pelle Hedblom (bass) and Linus Linder (guitars). Everybody was singing just to not hear who sung most false. Later Linus got to take over most of the singings. They started to play covers jut to learn how to play. Because no one in the band know how to take one single chord in the beginning. As fast as they got ready they started to write own songs with influences from bands like S.L.F., Sham 69, Sex Pistols a.o. 1983 they recorded their first record which was splitted with Zynthslakt, also a band from Köping. It was a 7-song EP sold in 1000 copies. Then they struggled on to get money to record a 7” which was supposed to be released on Birdskit, but the sound was damn bad so it was never released, but Birdskit sponsered them to record a MLP “In The Future With The Past” 1987, the single got to be included as a bonus with the first outgoings. Then they contibuted on “Swedish Stand” a compilation from the Indie labels in 1990. The Past still exists...

Great stuff from both which makes you hungry for more. ENJOY!!
