Artist: Nitad

I'm a bit disappointed that Nitad didn't make it out west on their current US tour, but what can you do? Hopefully things went well enough for them that they'll make it back for another go and will play the one coast that actually matters. The rest of you out East better get yourselves in gear though 'cuz they've only got a few more dates left before they head back home to Sweden. And while you're at it, pick up me a t-shirt! Size M, please (seriously!). You will reimbursed in full. But let's get back [...]

I spent the last five days or so hanging out in SF, working at the corporate HQ for my dayjob and seeing friends and family. I know it's not ordinary for my demographic, but I almost never listen to music on headphones when I travel, so I barely heard any music at all these past five days. All I bothered to load into my mp3 player were those four Sods / Sort Sol albums I mentioned on Friday and the new Nitad disc "Ibland kan man inte hindra sig själv" . And y'know [...]

Swedish punks Fy Fan will have a new 7" this fall and a split with countrymates Nitad on the way early next year.

Here's a good punk-rock icebreaker: which era of Black Flag is your favorite? I'm a Rollins guy myself, though it didn't always used to be that way. Young Avi liked the louder/faster style of the early years, but now old and bitter Avi prefers the, well, older, more bitter and more disillusioned stuff from "Damaged" onward. Nitad , on the other hand, are definitely early years kind of guys. This isn't the snotty retro-punk of the Umeå or KBH scenes though, this stuff is more like a continuation of classic Swedish hardcore. Fast [...]
