Review: Turist i tillvaron Vol.2

V/A Turist i tillvaron Vol.2 (Spotify)
sirling.blogspot.com
turistbloggen@gmail.com


Vol.1 was still hot when Sörling released Vol.2 with 16 more bands. And the standard are high on this volume as well. This is a true proof of swedish punks greatness. Even if I think that Vol.1 is better is there a lot of fantastic bands. One of them is the crust/hc band Brottskod 11. Another good band is The Baboon Show who play a very obstinate kind of punkrock. And for the variation can we find Oi! influenced Vindicate This!, Fru Dörr - a band that could have participated on the classic compilation Varning för punk! and not to forget the fucking raw Insidious Process who I like very much. Kaffekatt and Thurneman are two distinctive hardcore bands, I like them a lot. Trubbel and Tomma Händer play swedish punk not too far from bands like Asta Kask and Troublemakers and so does Mimikry as well who is this volumes veterans. The only band I don't like is Headons, but what the fuck, that's just one song. If you want this LP, send a mail to the email above or get in touch with any of the bands I've mention.

Interview: Subculture

Here's a part from the interview I made with the UK band Subculture. The entire interview will be published in Schizo Fanzine 8. It's Peter who answered my questions. I can really recommend Subculture if you like traditional UK Oi!

Hello Peter, Subculture was formed back in 1980, what made you start playing at that time? And which bands influenced you?

We were all young punk fans, and just like a lot of people at the time, we just wanted to make a noise like our favourite bands which were the Pistols, The Clash and the Cockney Rejects. We never said, “right, lets form an Oi band, that’s what’s going on at the moment. We just got put into that category because we dressed in ordinary everyday clothes, not in leathers and studs. I think if we had had a stereotypical punk look, things would have been different, one way or another…



I think you're much better than many of the big classic UK-bands, what would you say is the reason why didn't you become one of them? I have the impression that there is a bunch of bands who've reunite just for the money and don't care about their roots, do you agree or do you have another opinion?

Well I think there are two reasons for that. The main reason was I think that we were younger and about a year behind bands like The Business, Blitz  Infa Riot ect , who all had records out by 1981… our first vinyl outing came just everything was falling apart, so we playing catch up all the time, trying to gain a reputation, even though as you have said, our sound was better than a lot of other more recognised bands. The other reason is probably that we didn’t come from big town like London or Manchester and got little or no press coverage early on. Cambridge is thought of as a snobby well-to-do place,  but like any city, its got working class areas, and all the problems that come with that.

What have you released so far? Do you have any upcoming relases planed? When you write a song today, is it the same procedure like it was when you were active in the 80s? What is your lyrics about?

Well apart from the cd we released last year and the single in 83, we have appeared on various compilation cds, and we are releasing a new 7” vinyl e.p soon, on our own label Council House Records. Four tracks of classic punk rock n roll. We write as a team but Phil and Dean do most of the words and music respectively. There are plenty of things to write about these days, as I’m sure you are aware! The song structures are pretty simple, pretty much like they were before. We are better musicians now but we don’t overplay anything. Its all pretty stripped down and raw sounding. The new e.p is gonna be really good. It will be on download to, as the single will be very limited.

Review: Moral Dilemma - Under Surveillance


Moral Dilemma - Under Surveillance (7")
www.myspace.com/moraldilemmalondon
(www.pumpkinrecords.com)


I am fucking glad that I ordered this 7" from Distro-y because it's a wonderful piece of clear vinyl. Moral Dilemma have male/female vocals and the vocals was the first thing that hit me, it sounds really good. The music is pretty slow and it could be just another ok but boring punkband, but the vocals transform the entire production into great hardcorepunk. This 7" contains of 4 tracks, and I don't think a fullenght would be boring so I hope they will release one soon. The last track Cayenne starts as a ballad with french lyrics but after a while it take shape as a brilliant punksong. This 7" is limited to 500 copys and I can just recommend you to buy it. I hope to get an interview with Moral Dilemma in next issue of Schizo Fanzine.

Review: The Lowlifes - TV Addiction

The Lowlifes - Tv Addiction (CD)
(clubunderground@hotmail.se)


The Lowlifes have been around since 2004 but this is their debut album. Their energetic 3-chord punk isn't bad at all, but I wish that they could slow down sometimes because it almost sounds like one long song, and that's not really fair, because The Lowlifes really know how to play this kind of punk. 3-4 tracks on a compilation tape for the summer is just perfect. If I am going to compare The Lowlifes with an other band will probably The Business be the closest even if it's a big class distinction between those bands. The lyrics walk hand in hand with the music, it's pure punk and they have 4 tracks in swedish and 8 in english. The best tracks: False Unity, Jag finns inte alls and Nothing Worth. All in all will you get almost 30 minutes of ok punk, but if you get the opportunity to watch The Lowlifes live, take the chance, they are much better live. 

Filthpact documentary

Here is a cool documentary about the scottish crustband Filthpact. They have just released

I have cut down the distro part of Schizo Distro/Fanzine but of course will
the blog and fanzine continue just as much or even more like before.
I have also some new services to offer... 

Layout/Graphic:
* Ads
* Sleeves (Cd, Vinyl, Tapes)

* Convert files from/to JPG, EPS, TIF, GIF
* I have a collaboration with an illustrator

Music:
* Digitalize tapes to MP3/Wav

* Create music vids and publish them on Youtube

Fanzine/Blog:
* Promote your band thru reviews
* Publish info about gigs and tours

* We can brainstorm together to reach the best result, or if you want will I do everything
by my own. You will always see the result before it's going to be published.

* The costs will always vary, it depends much on what kind of help you want.
This is still a DIY work so much of my work will be free. Examples:
- I help a band with a CD layout, then I just want a copy of the CD
- I help a band to digitalize a tape, then I just want to keep the tape

Saturdays Heroes, new video

Saturdays Heroes have just released their new Ep Backyard Troubadour.
Here's a brand new
video from one of the 3 tracks. Enjoy!

Interview: The Bristles from Sweden

Because of the fact that The Bristles are booked for the 2-day festival at Kafe 44 in Stockholm this summer, here is a recent interview. They might be old, but still angry... let's go...

1. Hello Svegis, how are The Bristles feeling today?
The band just had a winter break. Now the winters almost done were back together, rehearsing, writing new songs... getting the shit together.
 
2. You are booked for the 2-day fest at Kafe 44 in Stockholm, what do you look forward to? You are gonna play, but is there any special bands you really want to see?

Yeah, really looking forward to play there. We've played at 44:an once before and we're always looking forward to go there and meet Tompa Eken who is a GREAT man, and who we've known since Ultrahuset days. Meanwhile is a nice band, Makabert fynd as well, and I'm looking forward to meet Jallo again, a long time ago since last time....

3. Do you have any other plans for the spring and the summer?

We have just started to look for gigs and festivals, and writing new songs. Do you want us to play, contact
the_bristles@hotmail.com


4. And you are also running Heptown Record as well. Can you reveal any upcomming releases now?
Well, I just work at Hepcat Store and our inhouse label is Heptown Records: We have just released Sir Reg (celtic punk) and Troubled Three (rockabilly) and now in march we will release The Cremators  album, a Swedish psychobilly band.

5. Any last words you wanna spread to the people out there? Thanx, and hope you will have a fantastic year.

Keep up the fight against the racists and the fascists!
