YOUNG WASTENERS -s/t EP 2006

Very good band from Copenaghen were the Young Wasteners they consisted of Willy (vocals/guitar), Andy (bass), Las (drums) and in 2002 they made their debut on Aggressive Turns Records/Kick N' Punch Records with ten goodies and was really one of the best from the small neighboring state at the time and were also a lot live on the road. 2006 then their last 7Inch on Hjernespind with four tunes. A tasty review from the label itself: "After the highly acclaimed “We Got Ways” album from 2002, this is the last recording session they did before disbanding. This was originally intended to be an album, but during the recordingsession the band broke up and these songs were the only ones that survived. And thank god for that! Young Wasteners proves again on this record that they were one of the absolute best punk acts in Denmark. This is definately more diverse than the album, but it still comes across as being very intense and powerful. Indeed a worthy testament for a classic K-Town band." Little compilation presence, but one of them the great København I Ruiner with a small, but brilliant overview of the Danish scene at the time.

HUL - Den Danske Ungdom... 2001

Danish Dynamite from Copenhagen by HUL and the line-up consisted of Kasper (vocals), Morton (guitars), Mads (bass), Morten (drums) and their only album came out via 9 Lives Records in an edition of 500 copies. An apt review from the 2009 re-release: "Pre Amdi Petersens Armé, Young Wasteners, and No Hope For The Kids, etc… and this is the crème de la crème. Den Danske Ungdom is an impeccable record and it’s a desert island pick for sure. This record is a beast, from the first drop of the needle your hit with a wave of fervid urgency and power, that first guitar lick forever etched into one’s brain. The vocals are so pure and honest with such youthful vigor and abhorrence with every squeak and prepubescent crack being utter hardcore perfection. The songs so original/memorable you’ll want to flip this record over and over again until you’ve retained all its beauty; how often is the first record or output by a group of kids this accomplished? I’m writing all this now without having listened to it in over a week. It’s just one of those records that is an instant classic, a true rarity in today’s saturated heap of terrible to mediocre records. What I’m saying is this is a scorched earth policy. I’m putting it on now and am set to explode. Pick Your King of a new generation? You bet." (Hjernespind Records)

V/A - København I Ruiner 2x7'' 2003

Here's a brilliant review about this awesome double 7'' compilation from systemphobia and I like to use these words because it describes the music here perfect and I agree with that. "If you consider yourself a punk you should have the following record. Kick 'n Punch isn't just another label, it released of the best records of the early 21st century and managed to put Denmark firmly back on the punk map. This double EP gives a nice cross section of what bands the label has signed throughout the years: Amdi Petersen Armé, the almighty Gorilla Angreb, Uro, No Hope For The Kids, Asbest, Paragraph 119 to name a few. Most stuff is straight forward punk/hardcore that brings back to mind the glorious days of the euro punk scene. Sadly the label is no longer around but one of the guys who ran the label continued as Hjernespind Records. They release awesome stuff, check 'm out." So now I can only urge you to download this essential stuff.
