Review: Vånna Inget - Ingen botten

Vånna Inget - Ingen botten 
(www.heptownrecords.com)
I had only heard a few songs with this wonderful band before, and I love their contribution on the compilation-LP Turist i tillvaron 3. Vånna Inget released their first full-length in 2011 and now they are back with this album. Their melancholic punkrock have a touch of the legendary Swedish pop band Broder Daniel, something that just are positive in my opinion. Karolina, the vocalist, have a perfect voice which fits perfectly to the music. And the music is filled with melancholic guitar lines while the organ create a really good ground. The lyrics are in Swedish, and they are very sensitive, sometimes almost emotional. I can not but pay tribute to Vånna Inget. I have a feeling that everyone who are just a bit open-minded are going to love this album. But it's not traditional punk, so don't expect anything you won't get. Even if I like all 11 tracks on this album is it something that doesn't satisfy me completely. I get bored after a while. 5-6 songs is okey but after that does it feels like it's just one long song. All in all is this album very good, and my favorite tracks is: "Vart tar du vägen", "Gamla" and "Kungar"

Varje månad skriver jag en sorts krönika till Ungovernable Resistance, som har en väldigt aktiv blogg samt att han sänder internetradio minst en gång i veckan. Det jag gör är att skriva om Svenska band/bolag/fanzines/arrangörer osv osv... Allt ifrån aktuell info till recensioner och tips.

Så... om ni vill att jag nämner er på något sätt. Hör då av er till schizodistro@gmail.com Ni kan läsa de två krönikor jag har skrivit. Jag skriver på engelska, så det når ut till folk över hela världen.
September : Där skriver jag bl.a om Spotlicks och Sörlings Svinstia.
Oktober :  Jag tar upp Asta Kasks japanturné samt den nya skivan som Irritation ska släppa.

Ungefär sådär kommer upplägget att vara. Men det kommer nog att förändras allt eftersom tiden går. Det är tänkt att Ungovernable Resistance kommer att lägga upp krönikan i varje månadsskifte. Så med andra ord skriver jag mest om sånt som kommer att hända och inte sånt som redan har hänt.

Kolla gärna upp Ungovernable Resistance: ungovernableresistancediyradio.blogspot.co.uk/

Well, hör av er till schizodistro@gmail.com så kanske vi kan komma fram till något.

Review: V/A - Turist i tillvaron #6

V/A Turist i tillvaron #6 (LP)

Facebook: Turist i tillvaron
This compilation serie are amazing as usual. The standard of Swedish bands really makes me proud. The 16 bands creates a good mix of genres. One of the best band is Utanförskapet who sounds much like Uncurbed, I can really recommend to buy their LP from Rawby records or Fight back records. Dobermann Cult is a band that I've just heard of but never listen to, I wonder why because their hardcore is fucking excellent. If you are into Swedish punkrock this compilation will offer you a bunch of good bands like: Ligisterna, Knivderby and Psykbryt. One of the best band on the compilation is The Sweetshow who play some kind of punk/psychobilly with female vocals. Alison Blaire is another good band with female vocals as well, their Ramones influenced punkrock really appeal to me. I have to mention Planet Trash, a good old band that still knows how to make it. Well, the best bands in my opinion is: Utanförskapet, Kaos kris & Helvete and Lysande Utsikter which contribute with 2 tracks, I love the (female) vocals and the dirty punkrock. The worst band is Pusrad, just a pity that they contribute with 5 tracks, the good thing is that these tracks are very short. Söderberg makes a perfectly ok cover of the old Ebba Grön song "Vad ska du bli". All in all is it a good compilation, maybe not the best in the serie but in the other hand does some of the bands belong to the best bands in the serie.  

New release: Schizo Punk Comp. Vol.1

Schizo Punk Compilation Vol.1 are now available on Spotify. There is 22 tracks/bands from 13 different countries. And it's a multi punk genre compilation. You will get everything from hardcore crossover to grind and streetpunk. 

If you like this compilation or if you like any bands, there is possible to download the tracks from Spotify for a small fee. This project is focused on the digital Spotify version, but in July will it be possible to get copys from the bands, and maybe from Schizo Distro. I will send the music and coverart + insert to the bands so they can make their own copys, and it's up to every band how much they want to charge for a copy. But I guess that everyone who's gonna sell this CD will sell it pretty cheap. 

My intention is to release Vol.2 in October. If there is any bands out there who wanna participate, send an email to schizodistro@gmail.com and we'll sort things out. What I need for that (later on) is one of your tracks (preferably a wav.file), your logo and then is it up to you if you can donate just a few $ £ €... since it costs for me to upload on Spotify. All profits will go to charity.

All bands will also be interviewed, those interviews will be published as fast as I get the answers from the bands. You will find them and everything else at: http://schizofanzine.blogspot.se/p/schizo.html

Review: Losin' It - Danger Zone

Losin' It - Danger Zone
www.lifetoliverecords.com/site/bands/losin-it/
(www.lifetoliverecords.com)

Fucking hell, this is good stuff. Losin' It from Florida probably listen more to old hardcore acts from NY like Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of today mixed with the great Boston bands Slapshot and Blood for blood, than eating oranges from Florida. This is really high class hardcore, just as good as the classic oldschool HC bands. I think this EP is sold out, but their first album "No apology" is just released by Life to Live records. And I really wanna recommend Losin' It for all you lovers of oldschool hardcore. It is 5 tracks on this 7", the total play time is just 7 minutes, therefore is it nice that they have made a full album because I want more. The lyrics are about how stupid people act, like homophobia and my favorite song "Glory Days" - this line got stucked in my head "Your glory days are bullshit, Don't waste our fucking time, You threw in the towel years ago, but we're still busting our asses to keep this shit alive". 

Review: Libyan Hit Squad / Round Eye split-Cd

LHS / Round Eye (Split CD)
(rippingrecords@gmail.com)

What would you've said back in the 80.s if I would have told you that LHS is from America and Round Eye is from China? Americanism vs. Communism. LHS - Libyan Hit Squad has 6 tracks on this split and the music is similar to Black Flag, Greg Grinn who used to write songs and play in Black Flag contributes on one of the tracks (Full circle) Black Flag is a band everyone should love, but I can't really see their greatness. And that's what I feel for LHS as well. It's not bad but I can't find any charm at all in LHS. Well, let's take on Round Eye. And charm is something they have loads of. Their intensive garage punk n roll is really lovely and the saxophones make a lot for the sound, and even if it is some Stooges feelings in their sound is the sound their own which I think depends of that it's a bit fuzzy. Round Eye wins this battle for sure with their 5 tracks.
