P.F. COMMANDO - Manipulerade Mongon 1979

P.F. Commando was a punk band from Gävle/Sweden and was created by Sonny Jansson and Janne Ricknell. They were one of the first swedish punkbands that recorded an album. First record came in 1978 with the first single Svenne Pop on Comm Records. The group's first gig was at a marathon gala. Manipulerade Mongon is their debut album and came out 1979 and is a fuckin' cool amazing punk record. Their lyrics where snappish gracious and they got massive critic about it and divided the listeners as well, due to the "lack of competence" in that field. They got a contract with Pang Records but the cooperation was a total failure. The label wanted to give them already written lyrics (songs like 'Slavelady In Rubber Clothes' and 'To Come In Eva's Butt') and also a suggestion for an album cover where they wanted the bandmembers to pee on each other and play around with Dog poo. So the band quit quickly. P.F. Commando also inspired swedish artist DiLeva to play music. In 1982 the group split up.

V/A - Göteborgs Rock-Ytterrock 1982

Gothenburg was a stronghold of Swedish underground music, punk, wave rock or whatever. This compilation belongs to the genre Rock, this means no real punk platter. Apart from F.K.M. I know not only band here but I love surprises. Released via Pang Records is this stuff partly for me too gammy, for example the Backstreet tracks are a pain in the ass, as well as Blå Schäfer and Kamrat Desperat. Positives are Nya Ambulansen with nice female vox and F.K.M., the rest is so Olala, not really for a punk rocker like me, but sure there are probably some of you have sought this record and therefore I had mercy.

TIEBREAK - Mina Grannar (Gillar Inte Rock'N'Roll) 7'' 1982

I don't have any information about this band called Tiebreak, but they do a solid job and recorded two early rock'n'roll goodies and immortalized them on their only rare 7inch, released by the Swedish renowned Rock label Pang Records. Whether it is a real collector's item is up to the viewer, I don't think the record is bad, as it is absolutely audible and doesn't come with long solos or similar elements. A-side with a 'short' two minute track, while the flip is a bit too long ballad, but the guitar sound sounds pleasantly creaky and somehow antique... very charming. A record where tastes certainly differ, I like it.

ANTI SILENTIUM - Förbjuden Frukt 7'' 1982

This rare piece from Anti Silentium on Pang Records shines with two untypical New Wave classics and I have to admit, that I've rarely heard such tunes from this country, especially at that time. About the band I can't find no infos but apparently they consisted of three members and musically very melodic, which also underlines the melancholic keyboard, plus the creaky guitar which rhythmically scrapes to it. Amazingly brilliant record, is worth hearing in every respect.

BADDIES - Don Juan 7'' 1982

I should already be in bed and dreaming, but somehow I'm intoxicated and want to fill my blog and that's rare. I know tomorrow will be another exhausting day, a young man needs his rest time, doesn't it? Well, there isn't much to say about this four piece combo, called Baddies, from the Swedish provinces, the band consisted of Christer (vocals/guitar), Per (guitars), Leif (bass), Kenneth (drums) and that's their only 7Inch on Pang Records, a small label that specialized in rock music and that's exactly what you can hear; two numbers that go through well but in my opinion, also disappear quickly (I guess, the detectives felt that as well). But a post is it worth because it's damn rare and it doesn't always have to be fast and dirty. Just listen and relax.
