Long time no see. Lack of inspiration? Nope. Lack of records? Hell no! Lack of time? Correct. So another American record? Of course. Terminal Mind out of Texas didn't get the attention they deserved compared to other Texas bands it seems. Is it as good as Big Boys? Almost. Almost!! Its got that funky feeling from time to time without getting cheezy or annoying(I'm not a big fan of funk though I've tried it from time to time with bands like Parliament etc etc) and great production. The songs are mid paced but with an urgency that I think will [...]

Gotten lots of request for VOM. And whom I to not please my audience? As most of you know VOM was Saunders and Turners band before they pulled out one of Americas hardest cocks: Angry Samoans. Who gets high rates in my book for getting banned by the LA/Hollywood scene in the early 80´s. It´s not hard to hear it´s pre-Angry Samoans in tracks like Electrocute Your Cock and the killer Punkmobile with quite arcetypical quirky AS chorus. Top notch! Well every track is a winner, really. Later re-issued or booted(?). As a bonus you´ll get some really, [...]

Zombie. The only track that sucks. How I despise the whole zombie/horror/skulls bla bla imagery in punk and what not. I don't know. It's so ridiculous and overused I want to take a bite out of every human carrying a skull tattoo and make big skull tattoo flesh cake and send it to hell. Like seeing the Smiley symbol everywhere. Skulls and everything horror related needs to be banned NOW! Woho! So Mecht Mensch. I ripped it a looooonnng time ago but somehow it slipped under my radar. Being a fave forever it seems. Well at least since 1984 and [...]

Wish I had the time to write something worth reading. But what is there to say? Another one of them best Swedish bands once again. Here's their second 7inch which in my opinion would've been a real killer if they lifted off the two so so tracks on the b-side cause the 2 smashers on the a-side are just that: SMASHERS. Got to run. Got a book to do. Country: Sweden Year: 1979 Label: GBG Format: 73 Songs: Rik Och [...]

This was the first record I was supposed to post when we opened up the blog. But after doing some googling I found out it had been posted here and there. And it's still gets posted here http://www.lastdaysofmanoneart h.com/blog/?p=5 and there http://www.goodbadmusic.com/20 08/04/13/deadbeats-kill-the-hi ppies-7ep-dangerhouse-records- usa-1978/ but you know it's one of those records that's NEEDS to be posted everywhere and as far as I know it's only here you now get the WHOLE package. It's been living with me since 1979 and will be one of the last records that will leave my home if ever as long [...]

First I want to apologize to Bjorn Johansson who sent me this tape for taking so goddamn long to digitize it and get it up here. Bjorn played bass for IQ 55 for a short period and appeared on this recording. Second I want to thank both Bjorn and Svante Pohl(guitar) for letting me publish it here. IQ 55 who's one and only record I posted a long time ago: http://www.kbdrecords.com/2006 /06/20/iq-55-livet-ar-en-bluff -7/ and definitely needs a repost, where along with Blitzen the crop of the cream of bands coming out from my home town of Linkoping/Sweden. Both IQ 55 [...]

This might be the perfect 7inch for me cause it brings together the best of two worlds which actually was just kind of one world back you know when. I'm Not Funny is a surprisingly megaduperfantastic snotty punk hit that should've been on one of the KBD comps but might've not been "discovered" back then by Mr. Kugelberg? BUT it should've been included on the deleted "Hooked on Junk" which reminds me that I once again can push for Tony's not so frequently-updated-site-but-wh en-he-does-he-delivers-like-no -one-else Punk Business Manager: http://punkbusinessmanager.com /2009/08/07/hooked-on-junk-unr eleased-lp.aspx .

One of my absolute favorite swedish bands from the 80's. Live they where some of the best stuff you could experience. And they seemed to be aware of that since the one and only LP they released where an live album. More of a post punk touch here but the a-side Besserwizzer kicks the asses off all the swedish d-clones around at the time. Who could fore see that Mikael Syren vocals/guitar is now a famous humor writer, producer and actor considering the dark approach of Dansdepartementet. His role as Per Arne in the swedish comedy show Kvarteret Skatan is [...]

Why the long wait? My spare time after work is totally dedicated to designing an upcoming book about Swedish Punk/New Wave. About 500 bands from 1977-1982 and about 300 never before published photos. It´s going to be really great I think. Just too bad it´s in swedish only but if you´re interested you can always look at all the photos and pretend it´s just like the days before you could read. Which for most punks means pre-25. Dennis the Menace one and only(?) EP is awkward and twisted. Just the way I like it. Three fantastic tracks and [...]
