SKABB - Skabb '78 EP 1978

Early swedish punk band from Stockholm, they recorded only this EP (Mistlur Records), and changed there name to Molotovs early 1979 after some line-up substitutions. But there were nothing recorded under the new groups name as they quit later the same year. Drummer Bosse Löthen nowadays work for the swedish radio. Skabb's music is classic D.I.Y. punk with sax and pretty low-fi. Quite different from what I am accustomed and a real gem. I really like all three songs here although I'm not a friend of saxophones but I think it comes how to use it and the bass-line is pretty cool and sounds fantastic. Lied #1 wurde later auf dem Sveriges Största Singel compilation verewigt and even honored on Killed By Death #666. Try, smile and have a great weekend!!

V/A - Molde Punx Go Marching Out 2LP 2020

Fantastic re-release of this awesome tape which was originally released on Anathema Records in 1983 and how many of these were distributed is not ascertainable. It was time for a re-issue, and it's lovingly made by Cease Fire! in various limited versions. This double album features early Eighties bands from the small Norwegian town of Molde and some made it onto vinyl, others didn't even exist for four or five years. You can imagine what time and work such a project entails, and it was worth all the effort: the rough sound, the hearty music and the extensive booklet go hand in hand and make this a historical audio document of Norwegian subculture. Probably sold out long ago, but if you have the opportunity to get in touch with a copy, buy it... it's worth every penny! Strong Release!

GRISEN SKRIKER - Forsta & Sista EP 1979

Another cool punk band were Grisen Skriker (The Pig Screams) from Sweden and they were formed in autumn 1978 in Farsta, Stockholm by Henrik (vocals), Per & Hasse (guitars), Martin (bass), Mats (drums) and they had their first gig on 23. October that year. The band became one of Stockholm's biggest punk bands along with bands like Ebba Grön, KSMB and Skabb. They came as a fresh breath and as a kick right up in the then prevailing self-righteous Swedish pop and rock music. During their short active period the band released two EP's on Silence Zing Records and carry fifty-two gigs around Stockholm and other places in Sweden and they were famous for their wild theatric live performances. In 1995 came a CD via Silence Records out with both EP's and four bonus cuts (which unfortunately disappeared due to my carelessness). The band then split up in August 1979. Shortly afterwards some of the members formed the Rockets but I don't know much about them. Grisen Skriker contribute two songs on the legendary live compilation Oasen which was released in 1979 via MNW and on other relevant slabs. Overall two cool records with brilliant '77 punk goodies and their sound is a bit different to other bands which otherwise I know from Sweden in my opinion. TOP!

THE BAITERS - Droga För Att Våga EP 1979

 

Short and sweet the next slab and a bit infos about the band from punktjafs: "The Baiters were born out of Confusion (formed Nov-Dec 77) where Ubbe (guitars) and Johan Fredriksson (bass) were in. In spring '78 bassist Johan Skogh was added and the name was changed to Baiters. At first, the group mixed Swedish and English lyrics, the original for the upcoming single track "Raggare give up" was then called "Raggare piss off". Their big stage debut, they made at the Rock Against racism gala, at Kåren in September -78 together with bands like Skabb, Ebba Grön and GBG Sound. After that, the band was expanded with singer Zäta, this quartet made their debut together with Stoodes at the classic Medborgarhuset gig, an evening that was banded. In autumn-winter 78-79 they were one of the most popular punk bands in Stockholm. They regularly gigged at venues such as Fyran and Musikverket, where they played a total of eleven times. In February '79, the band recorded their debut single (Attack Records) which received good reviews in the daily press. The album also played in the radio program "Hemkört" where Gyllene Tider also made its radio debut. Baiters also participated in the Rock for the Job gala with, among others, Grisen Skriker and Ebba Grön. For single #2, the band had a contract with MNW. The album had a more pop sound and also received positive reviews, but it also became the group's last record. Ubbe and Johan later formed Rex De Rox who released an EP - Modern Mysteries at EMI. Johan Fredriksson can be found today on TV4 as a foreign reporter." Represented on numerous compilations, Bloodstains Across Sweden is one of them.

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!
