INFERNO - The Son Of God EP 1985

This first 7Inch by Inferno was first released only in the USA because the four were very popular (read this review: "fast, ferocious, and fun in the Inferno tradition. These German maniacs tear it up and spit it out in a furious thrash slaughter. Crazed guitar bitings with forceful vocals make this another unique platter." (Pushead, MRR #28 • September 1985) there with their aggressive Hardcore/Punk and the crowd needed food. This is the second pressing on Campary Records (1989) with a different cover and two songs from it appeared on the refreshing Compilation What Doesn't Hurt Us Makes Us Stronger from the Berlin based label Destiny Records and as far as I know the third track can be only found on this sucker but I could be wrongThe lyrics are all fantastic, clear and unambiguous, and anyone with sense and clarity in their hearts can only agree with this, to that their excellent sound makes clear why the band were so loved overseas, and that's saying something. Inferno is always a good choice to push your troubles far far away. Splendid!

V/A - Compulsive Agitation EP 2023

The tenth and latest release from dutch D.I.Y. Subunderground Compulsive Agitation’s, Compulsive Agitation, is an excellent EP Compilation featuring six songs from five bands, hailing from the Netherlands as well as the UK. Edition of 400 copies on black vinyl. Well, the label should be familiar to you as it is the home base of the talented school of fuzzpunk, or in short: Ford's Fuzz Inferno whose contribution has not yet been published. This also applies to the other songs (except for Waste). Nun, this little 7Inch is a real grenade with short loud impacts that absolutely smash me into the past when Hardcore became my driving force and I was flashed by the aggressive fast sound. And once infected, it stays in your heart and you know what's good for you. With Hans & Co. you know what you're getting and all ten records aren't late bloomers or lame copies of old heroes, NO! Honest straight pissed off Hardcore with appealing words rolling over you and rousing every lame ass to participate, and to that always an informative artwork. This litle goodies comes with an insert featuring alternative front cover designs and infos about the bands.

"Overall, 'Compulsive Agitation' is a fantastic EP release that showcases the strength and diversity of the old school Do It Yourself Punk scene. Each band brings its unique sound and style, creating a compilation full of energy and attitude." (THOUGHTS WORDS ACTION - 8th June, 2023)

Since the edition is very limited, it will be difficult to get hold of a copy, I have one and if you find one, grab it! Pushes anytime, especially with back pain.
Five Killer Punk Bands! - Six Killer Punk Hits! Enjoy!

2.Everything Is Grey - WASTE
3.Reptile Brain - SCOUNDRELS
4.Sab The Hunters - KRUST WORTHY

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Eternal Circles Of Fuzz EP 2023

Well dear Friends, let's come to the fifth chapter of the grandiose duo Ford's Fuzz Inferno and it's a strange beast in the Dutch ‘fuzztopian’ Punk discography and to be honest, I don't even know what to write here anymore. All of Mr. Hans & Mr. Patrick's releases are extraordinarily brilliant and the level is consistently high and their musical ability just won't diminish. Excellent FuzzPunkRock as it should be for Fuzzies and believe me, I really mean that. As soon as the first note sounds, my body vibrates and turns my basic mood into a positive network of cheerfulness and lust, not that I'm a negative person, but I'm a skeptic and like to question and Ford's fuzzy sound is a real door opener for every pissing situation, can you follow me? The two gents know exactly what they are doing and they do it with dedication and common sense, and I'm a bit late with this slab, because in May they've already added the sixth chapter, and also important to know, their label released the first Compilation (the Compulsive Agitation EP in an edition of 400 copies) but more to this in the near future. I won't quote a review here this time, look for it yourself and I recommend you to read all the other chapters of the Fuzz book and enjoy the sunny warm Sunday with it.

WASTE - The Next Century Is Almost Over EP 2023

Holy Shit!! a legend is back after more than forty years with a fucking blast! In case you can't remember, WASTE released their one and only great History Repeats EP in the early 80's and now they're in the mood for loud & peppy music again. Their new 7Inch delivers four compositions in a recognizable Waste manner. Dynamic, energetic and with a pissed off feeling the boys bang out their songs so that no part of your body doesn't want to vibrate, and believe me, every shitty thought will wash away from you and you'll hear this slab over and over again. Responsible for these jaw dropping tracks is the incredibly tight rhythm section of bassist Still Klaus, drummer Fred Flintstone, the brutal voice of Bompa RR and the totally damaging fuzz guitar and songwriting skills of Hans F. Ford, who of course is also known from his outstanding current fuzz-duo Ford's Fuzz InfernoThe band hasn't lost any of its aggressiveness and joy of playing, the sound is fat and powerful (although I prefer the early Eighties sound but these recordings grab me by collar) and you can Pogo with every note, Hardcore/Punk at its best and you should definitely get a copy, but you have to be quick because only 375 copies were pressed. With Waste, the long weekend can start and whoever sits still while listen, is definitely dead. KILLER!

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Death To The Fuzz Family EP 2023

I'm a little behind, because Ford's Fuzz Inferno already put their creative sound machine into operation in January and presented another chapter from the fuzz workshop in the tranquil village of Kekerdom, and as self-confessed flitzefozzi I can only say: "Uiuiuiui!". Five dynamic and also 'melodic' pieces conjured they out of a hat which show a clear progression and infuse any damn tired mind with positive energy. Yesterday I finally had time, muse and the technique to listen & rip their fourth 7Inch and I will not repeating myself, but Mister Hans & Mister Patrick know write impulsive music. The Ford's appear in all songs short, concise, precise and focused on maximum effect, which rarely exceed the two-minute limit and combine explosive songs, a good songwriting with driving sawtooth fuzzbeat in a pleasant way and the fifth book is already out. Superb!!!

"Death To The Fuzz Family will unquestionably appeal to all the fans of raw, melodic, energetic Punkrock that carries all the vital elements of Hardcore Punk, Post-Hardcore, Proto-Grunge, and Indie Rock." (THOUGHTS WORDS ACTION - 30th January, 2023)

A few band words: "Yes boys & girls, it's Ford's Fuzz Inferno's fourth EP of totally fuzzed-out Punkrock awesomeness. Featured are the (relatively mild) track 'My Reality', which was previously available on the Book Of Fuzz - Part 1 CD, plus four more scorchers. Fuzz on!"

VIDRO & CANKRO - Split 12'' 2019

Now an interesting record which made for their Brazilian tour 2019, originally released on tape and a year later released on vinyl in a small edition (50 copies) by the Norwegian label Byllepest. Both versions sold out quickly, so it was time to press the whole thing as a larger edition (Kink Records, 500 copies). It starts with Vidro from Stockholm and the band consisted of Vendela (vocals), Lucas (guitars), Melody (bass), Staffan (drums) and they give us six angry mid-tempo numbers with a slightly melancholic undertone with splendid pissed-off vocals of Vendela. On the other side then Cankro (Costa (vocals/guitars), Coca (bass), Renatinho (drums) from São Paulo with their vinyl debut and they shine with four rough Hardcore attacks, combines with great enriched guitar solis. Both combos do an excellent job and show us once again that this world needs such aggressive inferno. TOP!

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - The Book Of Fuzz (Selected Verses Part 1) 2022

It's fuzz time again and you know which band is known for that?.... That's right: Ford's Fuzz Inferno from Kekerdom and the last two years they released three splendid EP's and this little compilation is made for those who prefer a little round silvery packaging, and an unreleased song is added to the three singles and in total we have eleven songs which achieved maximum results with only drums, guitar and reverberant vocals, very classy. Hans & Patrick do a first class job and are by far the best duo I know and their wild and unbridled sound is pretty damn appealing and makes me think of old times as I savage to Septic Death or Raw Power etc... Pogo danced and this feeling puts a smile and a little melancholy on my face, it's been a long time and getting old physically really sucks, and I think, you know that as well. And there's news to announce: In January 2023 their new EP Death To The Fuzz Family will be released with five more fuzzed-out Punk executions and the vinyl rip will follow as soon as I can rip again and it's my turn to change that, but at the moment I'm still a bit off the mark. Patience dear friends.. patience!

And as usual, I want to give you a short and appropriate review (and there are only positive ones, which doesn't surprise me): "Walls of garage-damaged, blasted combo amp guitars topped with sweet in-your-face croons; these chaps serve up hit after should-be hit. They don’t rely on the heaviness, but they get there because they just want to crank the shit out of those guitars, you know…to fuzz ‘em up." (Robert Collins, MRR #467 • April 2022)

And what the two say about this bloody Sucker can you read now and even if a download is available here, buy this CD and support the band because they deserve it: "Hi Boys & Girls! A while ago Mr. Hans & Mr. Patrick found out some of you don't own a record player and don't care very much for them digital download things either. But still, you do need to hear - and feel - Ford's Fuzz Inferno's crushing fuzz punk awesomeness blasting through your rooms, don't youi?!. Each and every day that is! Well, there's no need to be sad, because Mr. Hans and Mr. Patrick love you just as much as they love all their other young friends. That's why they selected 11 tracks from their first four EP's and released them on Ford's Fuzz Inferno's first CD! Especially for you! So buy that disc, enjoy the tunes, eat your vegetables, destroy the neighborhood and fuzz on!" I love FFI!

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Fuzz The Universe! EP 2022

This is the last part of the 7Inch triology by Ford’s Fuzz Inferno, the Dutch duo who like to upset their neighbors and ours. This time it took a long time to rip the record due to various fatigue on my part and lack of time; but today, on the first day of July, I'm banging these four Fuzzies on your ears, and believe me, they let every deaf hear again. A few fuzzy words from the Inferno itself:

Hello boys & girls. A long time ago, when Mr. Hans + Mr. Patrick were still very young, there was neither space nor time. There was nothing and it was pretty cool. Then Mr. Hans + Mr. Patrick heard a big bang and suddenly there were suns and moons and stars flying around like crazy, with no sense of direction whatsoever. This is called the universe. The universe is extremely boring and badly organized. It has no value and no purpose. Fortunately Mr. Hans and Mr. Patrick live on planet earth, which is somewhere else. Planet earth rules, the universe sucks and aliens are stupid and ugly. That’s why Mr. Hans + Mr. Patrick decided to call their third EP Fuzz The Universe!. It makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?! Of course the songs are totally awesome, so play them as loud and often as possible! Fuzz On!

A Review: "The music here is really driven by the roaring guitar. It sets the pace for the rhythm section rather than vice versa. It’s big, static-y, and yes, “fuzzy.” The band injected a few trad Rock’N’Roll elements: notes running down the scale and the occasional tamborine. The medieval imagery on this release (and all their others) adds a fun, out of left-field vibe to the music. (Dov Malzberg, MRR #468 • May 2022) 

Well, finally a few own words: Mega!

The Book Of Fuzz - Selected Verses (Part 1) with all the EP’s + a bonus lullaby is as CD available. I really hope that wasn't the end of the journey and that the return from the universe will follow. We will see.

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Flog Yourself With Fuzz EP 2022

Bridging the gap between distorted garage-punk and early '80s hardcore, the super explosive second EP by this fuzzed-uit Dutch guitar-and-drums duo is certainly one of the most impressive releases of 2022. "Hans & Patrick are back with hard hitting, hi-energy Punkrock, recorded specially for your hungry ears! This time around all the songs are about super enjoyable things, like the apocalypse, mental health issues and Mr. Hans’ and Mr. Patrick’s favourite pastime, demolishing other people’s property. Have you ever done that? It’s great fun. You should really give it a try! But before you start smashing windows and kicking dents into cars, play these four songs as loud as possible. They will put you in the exact right mood!" And that's right folks; on this record they are more melodic, more playful and more mid-tempo, but still catchy and with the typical fuzz sound. I really like it and I can highly recommend this band to you, Ford's Fuzz Inferno is playing PunkRock and doesn't just talk about it and deniers will be executedTheir third strike will follow in April and a compilation CD with all Fuzzies is also being planned, so keep your eyes, ears and brains wide open. Two reviews: "They have kept the quality, with another collection of fast, catchy, melodic hardcore songs. Just need two things from the guys now, A full length album and some live shows in the UK!" (Issue Punkzine #117)

"A release with short high energy tracks in the Ford’s Fuzz Inferno punk tradition: unpolished DIY noisy punk rock’n’roll. It comes with a good sound quality and again with a simple white and black medieval artwork. Too bad it's over before you know it." (Out Of Step - Fanzine/Blog February 2022)

Your weekend's nice & with this EP it will be even more sweeter, ask your partner!

INFERNO - Hibakusha 1985

Hibakusha is the second full length by Inferno from Augsburg/Bavaria on Rise & Fall Productions. Same line-up, Howie (vocals), Archi (guitars), Zong (bass), Max (drums), as on their legendary debut Tod & Wahnsinn and they recorded this bloody sucker in summer 1985 at the legendary Music Lab Studios in Berlin. Fourteen brute & powerful songs which at the time couldn't be surpassed in terms of power. In the land of the rising sun, the Japanese term Hibakusha is mostly used in connection with the victims of the atomic bombing of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and was already set as the album title before the recordings were made. This record is more sophisticated and complex in terms of sound, the high-speed sound gave way to a heavy rock sound at times, which still overwhelmed the punx, because Inferno were the only ones with extreme speeds at the time experimented and with this extravagant style the four were way ahead of the timesA mature development with partly personal and political texts that were worked out seriously, bitingly and ironically. 2018 re-issued by Power It Up Records in partially limited colored vinyl. In 1990 the band dissolved. - German Hardcore Nugget!

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Deniers Of Fuzz Will Be Executed EP 2021

So dear folks, brand new stuff from the Waste environment and I already warned you that the follow-up band of Hans will record explosive material and today the wait is over and I can tell you: Simply Brilliant! A bit basics: "don't you just love these awesome punk tunes?! Then singalong with Mister Hans (vocals/guitars) and Mister Patrick (drums/guitars) and bang your fucking head to their lyrics, mostly about your stupid, hypocrite, pseudocorrect parents and all those other mindless consumers who have messed up our planet and now blame others. Fuck Them!" This is the announcement of Ford's Fuzz Inferno. They have recorded some totally awesome, completely fuzzed-up, ultra crushing punk nuggets for you and if any neighbor should complain, hit him on the skull with the plate. A review: “This is immediately catchy and likeable, proving you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to make something great. There is a timeless quality to these songs, and each concentrated capsule of punk joy sounds like it could have been written any time during the last fifty years. Highly recommended.” (MRR #461 - Oct. 2021) - I can hardly add anything to that, fantastic record from a combo that knows how to express itself brutally and implement this in an excellent sound. Fucking Great! B.T.W., a second EP will come soon, the release date is 17th January 2022, and you can already pre-order this via their bandcamp page. 🎶🎸🎶

WASTE - The Lost Tapes EP 2021

Now to a damn hot record which I'm very happy to present to you, and which comes straight from the band's headquarters, sent by Mister Hans personally and exclusive for wdthtc! "Daar ben ik heel dankbaar voor en wil je eerst mijn hartelijke groeten, maat 💓" On this little slab are five fast fantastic uncompromising, unpolished killers who exude pure energy and I like them immediately after the first note, the level is consistently kept high and brings the emoitions of the early 80s into your four walls, I have seldom heard such great stuff from the neighboring country... and I mean it, folks! Tasty infos from the backcover: "These five tracks were recorded between the summers of 1981 and 1983 at the band's practice room, which was located in a monastary in Oudenbosch, a village in the south-west Netherlands. Waste consisted of Nonkel RR (vocals), Hans (guitars), Klaus (bass), Fred (drums). Back in the early 80s they played at venues all over the country, including Paradiso in Amsterdam. Their sought after History Repeats EP was released by the Breda-based Miranda label in December 1982. Now, almost forty years later, the band's modest discography gets expanded with this new EP of rare, archival material. The sound is primitive, raw and totally awesome! WARNING! This is truly scorching hardcore punk! So for your maximum listening pleasure, play this slab as loud as possible!" Limited to 300 copies and I guess, all already sold. Good news at the end, Hans and Patrick founded a new band called Ford’s Fuzz Inferno and they recorded some totally awesome, completely fuzzed-up, ultra crushing punk goodies and a new record Deniers Of Fuzz Will Be Executed E​​P was made and is available from June 30th via their bandcamp site. Enough with words, let the music into your house and let it rip at full volume and several times in a row.

V/A - Fun's Not Dead 1985

Inspired by Nolti's birthday repetition, which is full of numerous D-Punk classics and songs I haven't heard for a long time, I thought I rummage on my hard drive and check out what's elegant there. The result is this decent compilation by More Fun Records with fine and exclusive pieces by eight bands which made their vinyl debut in the mid-eighties. The selection is quite convincing and for me it belongs to one of the positive apparitions in this sector. Came partly in colored vinyl and detailed inserts which are unfortunately not available here, maybe someone has useful scans for me. The slab became a victim of my lack of solvency at that time and that is of course annoying. Egal, sometime is Schulz anyway. If you like these bands take a look around the blog, you'll find more stuff for sure. Now I'm chilling a little and I'm hot for the match against Cologne later. Prost!

DRONGOS FOR EUROPE - Eternity EP 1982

 
3rd EP from this Birmingham based combo on Inferno Records and one more great output by the four. Drongos For Europe are active since 1979, a three-year break inbetween, and rockin the stage with their refreshing punk sound ever since. A small excerpt from their homepage: "The Drongos first single was a DIY release in 1981 called 'Hope And Glory'. The band also recorded two EPs on Inferno Records in 1982 - 'Death's A Career' and 'Eternity', which actually charted at around 47 in the national UK charts - Unfortunately, nobody in the band bothered reading music press at the time or listened to Radio One (we were the first punks in our town to have our own flats / homes, so everyone came back to our place to get wrecked. We didn't need much encouragement to join in) So, to cut a long story short - we never knew until our then guitarist Anton joined in 1999, that we sold any records, and we of course never made any money and got ripped off like every band on Inferno Records." Their 2nd EP plus a compilation track is waiting here with more info. A crisp start to the weekend is set, make something nice in your four walls.

INFERNO BAND - Kom Fram Igen 7'' 1982

One more rare piece from Sweden from this four piece from Falkenberg and this is their only attempt on Phonus. The recording of this single was the first prize given in the SPOOKY-81 contest. The band consisted of Karl-Johan (vocals/guitar), Jan-Olof (guitar), Rolf (bass), Kjell (drums) and their music is not really punky, but solid rock with a crisp guitar and well-groomed rhythms. Surely not everyone's taste, but I think you can use them inbetween on a compilation with irreplaceable mid-tempo sounds. I am always amazed, how many unknown bands from the Three Crowns Land managed to record a slab here and there, not always attractive, but sometimes very interesting, so give the boys seven minutes of your time.

- Great Thx again to Fredrik -

V/A - What Are You Doing About That Hole In Your Head? 1986

I don't know about you, but the hysteria over the Corona Shit gets on my nerves. I think all the measures, curfew, protective mask, cancellations are exaggerated, who knows what the Chinese were doing? What is certain is that they have triggered a pandemic and the European Football Championship will probably not take place this summer. Is that just a flu infection that made a lot of people die in a short time? The old and the sick are quickly affected and many die of flu, but this is normal because their immune systems is weak and society buys like stupid, that only makes clear how hollow they are and rely on the government and I think this brilliant compilation from Rot Records fits: What Are You Doing About That Hole In Your Head? Seventeen international nuggets for you to clear your mind... stay vertical!

INFERNO - Tod & Wahnsinn 1984

Bad news folks, I think my computer fucked up because all I see is pink and it makes really no fun to work with this shit so this willbe for now the last post and after Crete I see how it goes on. Inferno is a great german hardcore band from Augsburg/Bavaria and formed in the early years of 1982. This is their debut album on Mülleimer Records and the music is a sheer pleasure. Most of the songs are fast, thrash-speed punk rock, although Inferno slow it down for mid-tempo songs and often add a melodic element as well. Lyrically the band seems to have good intentions, but don't really break any new ground. "Ram It Up" is kind of dumb, but really just seems to be German teenagers trying to be "punk" & singing in English a second language. Overall it's nicely done, but suffers a little bit from not really standing out in any area. Anyway, with twenty tracks is this a solid record and even Pushead was very pleased. Check them on these Compilations.

V/A - Hardcore Power Music Part 2 1984

A rainy Saturday here and I am fit again after this hard week and as announced now the second Part Ultra Hardcore Power, whereby hardcore is slightly exaggerated. Ten bands, fifteen songs and an absolute increase to Volume 1. This compilation is packed with 85% unpublished stuff and convinced with many renowned German bands and in my opinion one of the most important D-Punk records, again via Mülleimer released, comes with a small Insert and partly in colored vinyl. A must have!

V/A - Ultra Hardcore Power 1983

I know this is not the Hardcore Vol 1 sampler that was required (I'll post it soon) but this one is just as essential. It's the first compilation from Mülleimer Records, the third most important German label in my opinion and have released in six years a few cool german punk records which are nowadays very sought and you can find a few of course on wdthtc. On this platte five bands, Normahl had at that time two records out, their legendary Stuttgart Über Alles EP and their first album Verarschung Total, Chaos Z with four cuts which are already sound dark and personel and already have the later Fliehende Stürme touch, all exclusive. In Stuttgart at home german Oi! combo Herbärds with their first vinyl outputs, two decent streetpunk numbers with funny lyrics. In 1984 the band released their debut album and they're somehow still active. Then Inferno from Augsburg and their classic hardcore tunes which made them interesting for the American punkers and their first album Tod & Wahnsinn is a blast (comin' soon) and last but not least Bluttat from Mülheim who unfortunately did not make the breakthrough, although they had three first-class brilliant hardcore albums with aggressive lyrics and they have been honored by Colturschock Records with a compilation called "Raw And Pure 1981-1984" (1000 copies) with old & rare goodies and I can recommend this record because it's fuckin' great. For a first label compilation not bad, everything sounds very raw and genuine and a year later Part 2 came out with more German underground noises, a better production and with bands which are not under contract upon Mülleimer and on the record are 100% exclusive tracks and it comes also in 192k/Bit in less than eight days. Cheers! and enjoy this early D-Punk classic.

ROLAND'S GOSSKÖR - Pigs Part One EP 1983 + Genom Barriären EP 1984

Roland's Gosskör are a punk band from Åkersberga which founded in 1978. First they playing their first concert at Bergaskolans Uppehållsrum in 1978 under the name Fast Kids. They were class mates Conny Melkersson, Curt Sandgren, Johan Lindström and Magnus Lange. Magnus departed quite early when the musical direction of every little sketch and too much punk. Ola Olsveten came in and the name was changed to Roland's Gosskör. In Winter 1979 they recorded the first demo and it became a worldwide success in the circle of friends. 1980, drummer Olis could not or did not want to play anymore, so during a concert in front of 500 raggare hazardous they recruited their new drummer Patrik Trankell. 1982 the 2nd demo was recorded. The Exploited played this year in Stockholm, but they never showed up so the band was honored to enter the stage instead, the audience consisted of fifty skinheads. After a few minutes of scratching in the barn so the concert started and Roland had a new bassist, Åke. In 1983 the first EP 'Pigs Part One' came out and they had ten hours studio time at night to an "unbelievable price". The EP was pressed in 480 copies but no one wanted to buy it and in the end they stayed minus. So the band come in contact with Janne Dahlbom from Rosa Hornung and he had heard Roland's second demo. He works on the compilation Vägra För Helvete and he puts 'Gossen Franco & Maktbegär' on this record. So at the time a radio show called 'Lilla Bommen' rewievs the comp. and the voice says: 'It sounds as if all the bands are recorded through a telephone, except Roland's Gosskör.' So they were very excited and sent a copy of the first EP to Lilla Bommen and the song 'FBU' was elected as the most played song in the show in 1984. So the train started to roll with more gigs and new songs. 1984 the second EP was released on Studio Otukt Records with three classic '77 style punk smashers. Patrik went to Florida and they're playing now as a trio. The result is a song on the live compilation Birkagården Gärdet. Roland's Gosskör continued to play a whole lot out there. 1986, they went into the studio again to record their third single 'Långt Härifrån', unfortunately, there was no money to continue and so the record never came out. Around 1988 they envolved into NEIN and play together with Coca Carola a gig in Ultrahuset, it was the night the house burned down.

A limited cassette (Långt Härifrån) was produced and given to all who had been involved in the 'Sista Dansen' project. The cassette was a full set from the concert. 1990, the label Studio Otukt released the live split LP Sista Dansen (with Asta Kask) and it can not measure up to the inferno that the three concerts were for those who were there, but the LP proofs that it happened. 1992 saw a re-issue of the second EP on Beat Butchers and the band had a short reunion to play on their 10 year anniversary. Roland's Gosskör leave us with two amazing crazy records and have a permanent place when we talk about early Swedish punk rock.
