LEVANDE BEGRAVD Fanzine issue #3, 20:-
Finally a new issue of this great 'zine; interviews with Mourningwood Recordings and Nitad, reviews, poems and loads of other jibberish. Buy! (ps. it's in Swedish...)

Got some stuff from the Finnish Svart label; cool reissues of classic Finnish KBD! The Finnish first wave of punkrock was way more poppy than in the 80’s (hey, even Rattus and Terveet Kädet were poppy at this time!). All these – except the much more hc Nolla Nolla Nolla 7” – were originally released in 78/79. Great stuff!

LOOSE PRICK – Kaupunki Elämää 7”ep (Svart) 50:-

PROBLEMS? – Ei tää lama päähän käy 7” (Svart) 50:-

SENSUURI – Kirjotan seinään 7” (Svart) 50:-

SENSUURI – Kaupunki nukkuu 7” (Svart) 50:-  

NOLLA NOLLA NOLLA – Oodeja simasville 7”ep (Svart) 50:-

WIDOWS – Wall of Berlin 7” (Svart) 50:-

RAS: s/t (yellow) (Skrammel Records) 100:-

RAS: s/t (blue) (Push My Buttons) 100:-

One of Swedens best bands release two albums at the same time on two different labels - and what a racket it is! Punkrock supreme. If you need something to compare to, a mix between early KSMB and the Spits would be a start. Two of the best albums released in Sweden in 2012!

 

 

 

INCREDDIBLE KIDDA BAND - Bitch 7" (Last Laugh) 55:-

Latest release from the Last Laugh label and this time it's some demos from the Kidda Band. Fuck, this might be the bands best material! Great amphetamine fueled pubrockpunk just the way it was meant to be.

 

 

 

JOE HEBERT BAND - I don't wanna be a preppy 7" (Last Laugh) 55:-

Restock of this - until Last Laugh reissued it - before unheard gem. At least for A//A?...
