The Encyclopedia Of Swedish Punk 1977-1987 by Premium Publishing

Stockholm

About the author Peter Jandreus was born in Malmö, Sweden, in 1974. Growing up in a silent home with no music and in a family not owning one single record, he later devoted his life to explore every possible way of getting drowned in vinyls and CDs... In short, he grew into an extreme music fan and into an archivist with THAT eye for small details. A complete geek one would say... This is his first book.

INTRODUCTION A seed is sown Sometime during the fall of 1986, I happened to find myself in my favourite record store Record Heaven that was located in Malmö. The guy behind the counter was playing the new Rövsvett EP to a costumer. Utterly bemused by what he heard he laughed as he read the song titles out loudly while skipping away between the songs. I bought the record. Prior to this, the only punk I had heard was, by comparison, considerably more easy-listening, with the likes of Ebba Grön and Sex Pistols. So, returning home with the Rövsvett record it was quite obvious I didn’t really understand this chaotic type of music at first. But gradually, the record with its ingenious lyrics grew to become one of the greatest hardcore records of all time for me. Right there a seed was sown. Many years later, that purchase got me started on this crazy crusade of digging up every punk record ever released in this elliptical country. Almost ten years later I read in the 90s rock magazine Backstage that an encyclopaedia of Swedish hard rock was in the making. A certain Janne Stark was the author. I really don’t remember how it all happened but all of a sudden I was in contact with Janne’s publisher Wille Wendt, who invited me to come up to Stockholm. I spent a couple of days at his office trying to act a little less disorderly punk than I probably was at the time. Wille believed in me despite the fact that I had very little material finished at the time. We signed the contract and all of a sudden I was involved in one of the stupidest projects I’ve ever got myself into.....

Disaster struck A project as complex as this one, with all the different elements that need to fall into place, wasn’t the easiest task to fulfil around 1996-1997. You have to keep in mind, that this was somewhat before the internet had become our favourite source of communication and library of information. It was also a time before one could conveniently burn CD-Rs at home. A sacred tool indeed. Now, I’ve never been much of a hotshot when it comes to computers and after some time my computer even broke down. This was just about as bad as it could ever get. All my biographies and the scanned material were lost. Imagine my frustration. So, what did I do? I gave up. Today, however, it is safe to say that it was the best thing that could ever happen. Why? Well, because, even though I thought otherwise at the time, I totally lacked knowledge of quite a few of the bands from the early days. To illustrate this, it is worth mentioning when I first got into contact with a great information exchange buddy – Peter Kagerland. He really made me realise my shortcomings by sending me a tape with stuff I had never heard of.

Being much older than I, Peter’s knowledge of the first wave of Swedish punk quite naturally extended my own. I’m glad that I got to know him. Apart form being an invaluable source of help to me we even became good friends over the years. Hence, he’s high up on the thank you list. So, due to these circumstances, what you’re holding in your hands right now is actually an improved version of the book. Also, without the help of friends with computer skills far beyond my own this book would never have seen the light of day. Thank you Mats and Carl, what would I ever do without you...

Basically, nobody but me will be completely satisfied That is just the way it is. During the process of writing, it soon became quite clear to me that nobody except me will probably be 100 percent satisfied with my selection of bands to be honoured with a biography in this encyclopedia. The same goes for the bands that I have excluded. When it comes down to how you look upon this matter, it is only your personal opinion of what sounds punk or not that inevitably will guide you in the end. That is the starting point that I have had ever since I initiated this project more than a decade ago. Although, I have to say that even my own opinions have vacillated a little from time to time. Occasionally, I have experienced great ambivalence, whether to include some of the bands or not. Even now that the work is completed I have a few regrets. But let us leave it at that. I will probably be sufficiently occupied with all the forthcoming discussions about which bands should or should not have been included. So, my selection of bands to be included in this book is based on what I consider to be punk music. In other words, the music has to be punk rock or its subgenres. In some cases, bands may have been closely associated with a certain punk scene at the time when they were active, although this does not qualify for an entry. The definitions are therefore strictly based on the music. This does not mean that punk is only music to me. It can be a cultural pattern (though, most often anti-cultural), a way of life, an attitude, a political platform or whatever you want it to be. That is the nice thing about it! You choose for yourself what you want it to do for you. It can however never be elitist. It is against its nature. But, on the other hand, what am I then doing, writing this book? No gods no masters... Having said this, you might wonder what do I consider to be punk music. Well, when it comes to the first generation of punk I have rejected bands that sound too much new wave or power pop. These two genres were

not really established as genres during the early days. But like always in history things have to find their right place before you can sort them out. But again, this does not mean that I am trying to minimize the importance of the bands that chose different ways of enhancing the Cultural Revolution going on in 1977. This means however, that those who got stuck with the original sounds of the punk movement and has not been able to accept that it since then has developed and divided into different subgenres are most likely to feel estranged by some of the terminology used in this book. The second generation is a little easier to sort out as most of the 80s bands had a pretty clear picture of what they thought was punk or not and usually played more or less in the same direction. Keep on reading and you will find this out.

The general selection I have tried to dig up every band that released at least one record or appeared on a split release before 1987 had ended. My aim has been to make an encyclopedia of the first ten years of punk bands that did so. Consequently, bands that existed and only released cassettes during this period are not mentioned. I’m not using the word demo in this case. This term is used to describe recordings that were not released with a cover which is more suitable when it comes to punk and its D.I.Y. ethics. Some of these bands that didn’t release any vinyl are mentioned in the chapter on page 259 about various compilation records. Four bands, however, that should have been mentioned in the book considering the criteria above have been excluded since they are more or less much more a phenomenon of the nineties. These bands are; Coca Carola, Totalitär, Los Bohemos and 23 Till. These four deserve much more to be included in a follow up book.

How much are the records worth? One thing is for sure, collecting records these days isn’t what it used to be. Online auctions like EBay make it possible to buy records that, prior to this phenomenon, few had ever seen or heard. Nowadays, you can also download just about everything, no matter how rare the original pressing may be. Records that once could only be found at record fairs or on rarity lists at excessive prices are now just a few clicks away. It is so easy! All you need is a computer to get the music and a lot of money to get the vinyls. All this has made both demand and accessibility change rapidly. Semi-rare records that very few people had heard of before suddenly skyrocketed, while some stuff that had always been considered to be rare actually went down in value. And then there’s the fact that you can hardly sell certain records at online auctions anymore whereas the same titles still sell for their former value in second hand record shops. This of course also goes the other way round, some records are sold at ridiculously high prices on the internet and at the same time they are to be found a lot cheaper in record stores. In a way it has become two different markets but with the same stuff.

These new circumstances, created by the use of the web, are of great importance to everybody interested in the rare records market. I have evaluated all the records that I mention in the book and this is done on basis of this. The 10 graded scale makes the lowest number the less valuable and the highest the most valuable. It applies to a standard stock copy. A team of consultants was used, consisting of Johnny Christiansen and Stefan Renström. They sure made this a lot easier – thank you for making this part of the book as good as it ever could become! Cheers to and thank you to all the other collectors and dealers that has kept me going and surviving in this helter skelter world of punk records; Fredrik ”Far” Ljung, Tobias Beament, Daniel Dellemyr, Martin Cannert, Joakim ”mint condition” Gävert, Lars Sjögren, Isse Samie, Fredrik ”Gamen” Åstrand, Patrik Caganis, Lennart Berglind and Anders Håkansson. Also a last minute thank you to Micke Fransson.

Working with the biographies Writing history always involves a certain amount of complex problems. Who remembers most clearly what really happened? How many views of the same story can you dig up? In most cases many years have passed and one does not always remember everything crystal clear. Therefore I cannot guarantee whether the content in the biographies is in accordance with the truth or not. All the information is the conclusion of what people have shared with me. As far as possible, when needed, I have tried to get first hand information from the bands. I have also carefully been reading fanzines and other magazines, newspapers and the (not always) so flawless internet sites founded over the years. In other words, I’ve worked very hard to get all the details right. Sometimes my search for the correct facts have been a little crazy, like making ten phone calls just to get one lousy surname or a release year. Most of the people that helped me I probably have forgotten over the many years but thank you Mats Bodenmalm, Anders Selin and Bo Magnusson. Last but not least I wish to thank Ensio Matela for his time helping me to get the language much more correct and Victoria Nilsson for understanding why I had to do this, you are one of a kind!

Stockholm Ola Löhman – guitar, vocals magnus Torsell – synth gustavo Ekelund – bass Erik gunnarsson – drums ABKK must have been one of the first hardcore bands in Sweden, at least live when they always forced themselves to play as fast as possible. Take the track ”Ronny” and speed it up and you’re getting close, but then again there’s the manic and bizarre synth sounds, making it perhaps the most odd and unique band in this book. The first single is also wanted by both punk collectors and collectors of minimal synth. How is it even possible to combine these two genres? But it’s basically the result of the fact that Magnus happened to have a synth and were very much into electronics. The band lasted between 1978 and 1982.

1981?

The second single was more or less a backlash to the earlier speedy punk. The band did lots of gigs, all in the Stockholm area. ABKK also released a cassette. Gustavo was also in the more experimental band Gpj. Erik was found in Dagens Ungdom. Compilation featuring the band: “Killed By Death #007”.

Göteborg robert Hammond – vocals, guitar Julle Aurell – bass Claes “Putte” Pettersson – drums

The band was short-lived as Robert jumped on the drug train. He never got off and died in 1992 (R.I.P). Julle joined Abcess Exil. Today it is to be feared that he, like Robert no longer is among us. He seems to have disappeared somewhere between Amsterdam and South America. Compilations featuring the band: “Gbg Punk” and an untitled EP on Åminne Räckords.

In the beginning they had a fourth member behind the microphone but soon enough settled for the trio format. Sometimes punk poet “De-De” was on stage with them, reading anarchy poems. A demo was cut just before the 7”, where Julle and Robert had switched instruments. They were probably the most political band in Göteborg at the time. That pissed off a lot of people, especially as they romantisized the RAF.

Even though they only existed about a year and only did a handfull of gigs they have gained some worldwide attention. ABSURD was actually called Rövsvett at first. They also did a reunion gig in 1993.

This band started in 1980. During their six years of existance they gigged a lot in southern Sweden. In Karlstad, skinheads stormed the stage and practically chased the band out of town. They can be found on various of compilation tapes. The band had a reunion gig in 2003. Markus played with Gosh (funky hard rock).

They were also real troublemakers, picking a fight with practically everyone that happen to come in their way. The band toured with ATTENTAT around 1981–82, in southern Sweden.

They only intended to play EBBA GRöN-covers at a Lucia party, but just kept on going. The band never got to play further south than Norrland.

1986

A kind of funny thing is that with each new release the insecticide company Anticimex contacted the band and required an explaination to the band’s choice of name. The band repeatedly had to explain that they were a rock band and not a competitor in the insecticide business. However, the company never seemed to be able to remember this. Basically, the band could have used the same standard reply letter throughout the 80’s in their dealings with Anticimex. However, real legal problems struck with the release of the “Absolute” LP. As a result; all future re-issues were renamed “Country of Sweden” and had different artwork. One likes to think that the liquor company would benefit from sponsoring the band instead of hassling them. The band must have had problems rehearsing the last years of their existence. Jonsson lived in Linköping, Cliff in Malmö and the other two members in Göteborg. Maybe it contributed to the final split of the band. ANTi CimEx got an invitation to play at the Marquee in London but Cliff thought it was a prank and replied with a not-so-serious fax. Marquee never tried to make contact again.

Named after a Swedish insecticide company ANTi CimEx soon got the reputation that they never played sober and that their concerts mostly ended in chaos. Bonni from ASTA KASK actually sang for a while in the very beginning. The constant search for a bass player continued to haunt the band throughout their existence. An EP and a cassette were released while the band was still living in Skövde. The first EP was released before they had made any gigs at all. The songs on the EP can also be found on the compilation “Eat My Brain Go Insane”. After “Anarkist attack” they all moved to Göteborg, except for Nillen who formed DNA. Jonsson took over the mike and new bass player was Conrad. “Raped Ass” was released. For the tracks on “Really Fast Vol 1” and “Vägra för helvete” new bass player “Cutting” (R.I.P.) joined. These were all from the same recording session. On the third EP Sixten replaced Conrad, and after this Conrad was back again. Confusing? At this point they did a couple of chaotic trips to Finland.

Back home, Jocke decided to quit and yes, he played on the MLP under the name “Ronald”. At this point, Cliff from mODERAT LiKViDATiON and Black Uniforms was asked to join the band but he declined. So, they split up... However, after a couple of years the tools were picked up again with new bass player Lefty. CBR Records got the band booked to the Hultsfred festival, but when they heard what type of music they played their appearance was cancelled. Other people say the festival crew was more or less afraid to book them... Even though ANTi CimEx lasted more than ten years, not many gigs were made compared to how many records they released. An estimate would be about 50 or so. Most of them were done in Sweden but (apart from the British tour) they went to Finland three times in 1984, -85 and –92.

ANTi CimEx is featured on the following compilations: “Eat My Brain Go Insane”, “Afflicted Cries In The Darkness Of War”, “Birkagården”, “Vägra för helvete”,”Really Fast Vol. 1”, “Is This Tough Or What”, “Gbg Hardcore”, “Varning för punk” and “Let’s Have A Riot In Sweden”. To support the release of the 1986 MLP, they went on tour in England. Before every gig they used to drive around and look for pieces of junk metal for Juan to use as percussions during the gigs. In Leeds, they opened up for Discharge who just had released their disappointing “Grave New World” LP. The Leeds crowd didn’t really like the new metal approach of Discharge and they went outside to get garbage bins that they threw at the band! ANTi CimEx, however, was at their best at this point and they really delivered the goods. Scandicrust really began increasing in popularity in the 90s. In England, among other countries, ANTi CimEx became more or less an institution. The English tour was ground breaking.

After the final split in 1993, Cliff formed Drillerkiller which pretty much continued were ANTi CimEx left off musically. Jonsson did about the same in Wolfpack. Charlie joined Not Enough Hate and today he is found in Troublemakers. Cliff has also had a project called Perukers. Sixten played with Full Metal Jacketz and is now found in GBG Punx. Bizarre facts: In the mid 90s, Cliff´s old studded leather jacket could be found for sale in a record shop in Malmö for lots and lots of money... (!) Today, ANTi CimEx is perhaps the most well known band in this book – at least in a worldwide perspective.

Do you get nostalgic shivers down your spine when someone mentions the word punk? Are you a real geek when it comes to record collecting? Have you ever wondered what was out there – deep in the underground of the Swedish punk scene? Then this book is for you… Find out everything you want to know about well known acts such as Ebba Grön, KSMB, Attentat, Anti Cimex, Mob 47, Asta Kask and Strebers. But also about every other band that ever released a record during the first ten years of punk music! In this book you will find all the facts: line-ups, hometowns, biographies and complete, fully illustrated discographies with all sleeves depicted in full colour. The discographies detail variations in vinyl pressings and covers, coloured vinyl existence – and just about everything else of interest for any serious collector of Swedish punk records. Finally you get to see the full output from legendary bands such as Vicious Visions, Shas, Absurd, Kriminella Gitarrer, 57 KEZ, Kessler Jugend, Bad Boo Band and other similar acts. Over the years, early Swedish punk has obtained a cult reputation among music fans all over the world and some records fetch ridiculously high prices at auctions. Those records were often pressed in very small numbers by private labels. This book includes Premium Publishing’s established price guide indication ratings, showing the current status among collectors for each and every entry! It has taken the author, Peter Jandreus, some ten years to collect the massive amount of information contained in this book. Premium Publishing is now very proud to present the definite reference guide to all the recording acts during the first ten innovative years of the Swedish punk era!
