GÖTEBORG SOUND - s/t LP 2019

Göteborg Sound was an early Swedish Punk band who released a series of superb 7Inches in the late Seventies and this Compilation on Bengans Records is limited and numbered to 300 copies (Record Store Day 2019) and features the Singles (1978-1979), live in Studio (1979) and a goodie which was recorded 21.10.1977 at Sanna Hemvärnsgård and that means, all their great numbers are gathered on this record, nice idea, and yes: GBG Sound were pioneers and an absolutely important part of the Swedish underground scene and wrote fantastic, fast and aggressive songs, and those who own the original singles, take those into your grave or pass them to your children, because it would be a shame if they ended up going in the trash at some point.

GÖTEBORG SOUND - Rik Man, Fattig Man 7'' 1978

One more tonight and a visit to Gothenburg is always worthwhile because some very good punk bands from the early years are at home here. For example: Göteborg Sound. They consists of Lars-Olof (vocals), Björn & Dennis (guitars), Ulf (bass), Janne (drums) and they have five 7inches plus an album out. This is their second one, released via their own label GBG Records with three different covers, 300 copies each and with two goodies. I first got to know them with the Björn Borg single, which I sucked many years ago at kbdrecords and was immediately enthusiastic, a fantastic cracker that has everything a punk song should have, unfortunately is this record miles away from it. But that is secondary, the five have really recorded very good music and the compilation from 2019 on Bengans with all their slabs proves this impressively (slumbering on my hard drive as well and will surely come at some point). Also represented on great compis, two of that Bloodstains Across Sweden #3 and Back To Front Vol.2 are also worth hearing. And with that, an exhausting Monday comes to an end, now I need my beauty sleep. Chrrr......

TROUBLEMAKERS - 7'' Collection 1987-1998

This file includes three 7inches: the Göteborg EP ('87), the one-sided single Hjältarna Skålar I Blod ('89) and the Mammas Flickor EP ('98). You'll get good melodys, pace and classic Swedish punk rock'n'roll in the typical Gothenburg style, either way, it's exciting and powerful. Troublemakers were originally formed in Gothenburg in 1981 with members from Perverts (they often play "Ronka" live), Göteborg Sound, Attentat, Anti Cimax & TT Gardrob 100. After a while the band split up in 1991, but reformed in 1995. The band has been described as "kukrock" and compared with a runaway express train. While musical trends have come and vanished, Troublemakers have stuck with their straightforward rock'n'roll punk and Swedish lyrics. With roots in the early Swedish punk era, they have survived themselves and numerous of Swedish government ministers. Troublemaker’s trademark has always been integrity, joy and energy. In 2010, they were winners in the category of best Swedish Punk/Hardcore band on the Manifest Awards in Stockholm for their album "Made In Sweden". Seven full length albums, numerous singles and participation on various compilations have made Troublemakers to one of Sweden's most important punk bands. They've conquered five capital cities and have done more than 350 gigs around Sweden and in six European countries. They're still active and if they come on tour again I will not miss.

V/A - Powerpearls Vol.3 1998

Uhh, damn exciting match yesterday at noon with a well-deserved victory for the SGE, the Champions-League is within reach. Now to the announced killer. In the nineties a wave swam over us with unofficial compilations that came up with rare punk classics of the early wild days, the well-known and certainly the best of them are the Killed By Death and Bloodstains series. But there is another interesting third: the Powerpearls series. Just as brilliant and significant contribute to resurrecting lost 7Inch nuggets and getting in touch with bands that nobody or only a few know these days, and whose music kicking just as much as the snotty punk buddies. My focus was more on the first two's and I didn't even know PowerPop that time, but now I like this genre, makes me feel positive and radiant, and it's close rooted with punk and sounds charming and lovely either. There are ten Volumes of these available, most at expensive prices, some with colored vinyl. So keep an eye out for them, it's definitely worth.

KIZZA PING - Demo Hösten 1980

Well, it almost seems as if the blog death is picking up speed again, first the crash on AJ's hard drive and now Doc Drunk, who is having an extra long drink... Eieiei. Well, I hope both find their way back and enjoy their break. Now let's talk about Kizza Ping, an interesting combo from Linköping and I'll let them say a few words about herself:

 

"So was the headline in an article in Östgöta Correspondenten January 1982. Even though we were pestered by some mates it did in fact have some truth. Most of us were breed by the punk but all started to become tired. The incredibly exciting punk scene of 1977-1980 had slowly ebbed away. The bands that took over after The Clash and Ebba Grön were The Exploited and Anti-Cimex and were not as fun. Instead bands like Simple Minds, U2 and Reeperbahn came and it was about here Kizza Ping started.

The first chords appeared 1980. Anders, Johan, Lars and me had performed in punk bands as RAS, ÅOBF, Spy and Zpamhead. During the summer I had made some appearances with the joke band Rabarbarna. Helene and Annette sang "Young & pimply", the only song we had. When it was time to establish a real band during the autumn, the girls were natural members. Helene and Annette, our own Annifrid & Agnetha, were of course a big asset. They used their voices in several different ways, sometimes they devoted their time to the undervalued singing exercise in canon. Johan's and Anders' tunes differed us to other bands in the town as well as Johan's especial bass playing. The fact, that we were on stage six times also contributed, punk was simply too far away.

To arrange stage sessions was no problem at the time in Linkoeping. Just call the youth recreation centers (yes, it existed at that time) and decide a date. The music association Rock d’Amour did of course also exist and people always came. In some way we managed to take the band one step further. We got performance stage sessions in neighbour-towns, wrote contract with local Dåvhjort Records and the single ”Männen”/”Lär I Tid” (Men/Learn In Time) (of course recorded at Bosse Sound) did get a good review in the customs of that time Music Bible "Schlager". We were interviewed by Radio Östergötland, were several weeks on the local chart and did small out on tours to Gävle, Västerås & Göteborg.

Maybe we could come even further. In March 1982, just a few months after the single, we made our last play. Today, almost twenty years later, I have no idea why we did end. I must call some of the others and ask if they remember. To listen to these old songs today feels strange. Sure it sounds dated but at the same time I like what I hear. Despite we were just between eighteen and twenty we managed to do something that didn't sound like all others. And the punk most of us did return to." Peter Kagerland/April 2001 (Source: b-sound)

GLO - Ljusåret Kommer 1980

The Swedish Punk scene is simply fuckin' great and I'm glad to post another album that proves it colossally again because it has it all. Most of you might known them from their both 7inches 'Discojäckel' and 'Nerv' which later appeared on the Killed By Death #77 compilation. GLO (acronym Gothenburg Ligist Organization) were a Swedish punk band from Åsa, five miles south of Gothenburg and their were one of the first punk/kbd acts from Gothenburg together with Bruset and Göteborg Sound. Original members were Mikael (vox & drums), Patrik (guitars), Peter (bass), Gerry (drums) and Peter Davidsson (guitars & keyboards) and they were friends since kindergarten and the band start in 1978. After two EP's they released on Ljudspåret Records their only full length and the record is very diverse. Most '77 smashers but there is more, a few rock cuts and the absolut highlight is a cover version of The Who's 'My Generation', recorded in a special reggae mix, awesome!! A true gem from these youngsters.

MINX - Collection 1985

A kickass swedish punkrock band are Minx from Eskilstuna and they released two 7 inches. Both records are brilliant and this collection here contains further four demo tracks which were recorded in 1985 and two cuts as The Kollo Kids which were from 1982. Sound quality is excellent - They played around their home area, Stockholm and Göteborg and split in 1986. Classic KBD stuff!!!
