SNUTJÄVEL ARE ANGRY!

Upload, download, explosive charge.
What’s up and what’s down and how the hell to survive in a world that never will be the same again?

- “I hate your childhood, I hate your life!”
Snutjävel are angry!.

After that the band last year released the compilation CD they promised never to let go, here is further proof that the music scene is fucked up forever.

The new MCD ”Allt Ert är Vårt” clocks in at 16min.
Here you have six brand new tracks, two new recordings and a cover of the classic Sonics, who breathe frustration and hate, yet want to change and improve. Snutjävel simply continues to deliver uncompromising songs, just as they have done since the start in 2004.

Is it a cliche to say that the band now sounds more dynamic and varied than ever. And would you even want that?
The band don’t give a toss of what you think and do their own thing anyway.

This is Swedish hardcore year 2012.

Snutjävel themselves say that this is the “record of the year”, but does it really make history the same year as Refused reunited and the music world stopped spinning …

A SONG “NÖDSIGNAL” FROM THE NEW EP

The Cremators debut album “The New Breed” – HepTown Records – out March 16 2012.

THE CREMATORS ARE THE NEW BREED!

Many people thought it might never happen, but now the time has come. The Cremators debut album “The New Breed” is released on HepTown Records and its well worth the wait!

13 songs moving between full-on punkabilly smashers and hard rockabilly, all of it with The Cremators’ characteristic sound, topped off with the harsh voice of Lucas Arson

Inspiration is gathered from all kinds of directions. Punkrock, psychobilly, rockabilly, garage rock and country is baked together into a cake that is spiced up with no-nonsense lyrics about life in general and all the sick things people do in particular. In other words, no horrorbilly here, just Flaming hot Rock’n'roll!

Band that inspired the band are: Meteors, Mad Sin, Frantic Flintstones, Coffinshakers, Rezurex, Guana Batz, Klingonz and Johnny Nightmare.

So now waiting for more gigs, more craziness, and even more rock and roll! Just what the band predicted already at their first demo, “The best is yet to come!”

These handsome bastards call themselves for The Cremators!

Not to mention the previously unreleased track by psychobilly legends Batmobile.

Our next release will be The Trouble Three “Moving On – out Feb 17 2012 on CD/LP/DOWNLOAD

The Troubled Three are a trio from Stockholm, Sweden that has successfully entered the rockabilly scene.

They do not play ordinary rockabilly tunes and perhaps that is the key to their popularity. The members all come from a background in rock music and they have played pop, punk and rock in a variety of bands. When they began to take interest in older music they didn’t listen to Elvis, but more to the roots of rock’n'roll music; rhythm & blues, jump blues, country and western swing. This forms their sound and without leaving the roots the band stands with one foot in the late 40′s and the other one in the present. TTT find their inspiration in old artists such as Big Joe Turner, Roy Montrell and the Tielman Brothers. TTT’s stage show is one of the most discussed issues. You never know who is balancing on which instrument, if drums will fly across the stage or if the members will show up in hula skirts. You can tell that TTT enjoy their time on stage.

The Trouble Three – “A Nickle Or Two” – the first single from the album “Moving On”

TTT started playing together in 2009 and decided early that they wanted to get out in the world. They have done several tours in Sweden and they have also toured in Europe. During the spring of 2011 they participated in the TV program “Sweden’s got Talent” on national television in front of over one million viewers. (Sweden has about nine million residents in total.) They made it all the way to the semi finals and did numerous festival gigs the following summer. Now it is time to release their first record with original songs, this on Heptown Records. The album release is followed by a European tour that ends on the festival Live & Jive in Katrineholm, Sweden where they are the first band ever to be booked two years in a row.

“What makes The Troubled Three such an amazing musical experience is their stage appearance. I have never seen a band this wild” Carl Carlsson – Ekuriren

“The Troubled Three made the visitors remember why – from time to time – you feel good about experiencing a live rock show” Catarina Nitz – Katrineholmskuriren

“The Troubled Three is making the scene young, energetic and raw again. We need that attitude around…..” Live & Jive

PRESSRELEASE IN PDF

SIR REG – A Sign Of The Times – Heptown Records – OCT. 21 CD/LP/DOWNLOAD – out October 21 2011

Here comes SIR REG with their second album “A Sign Of The Times”.

Following on from their self titled debut album SIR REG, which topped many of the best of 2010 lists in the genre.  They take it one step further with a work that sums up what it’s like to live in this chaotic and unpredictable world of ours.

With songs sung by an Irishman and backed by fantastic Swedish musicians, Dubliner Brendan Sheehy and his companions certainly know how to challenge the listener’s ear.

BAND OF THE YEAR 2010 CELTIC FOLK PUNK AND MORE
celticfolkpunk.blogspot.com/2011/01/band-of-year-sir-reg.html

BEST OF CELTIC ROCK & PUNK FOR 2010
#1 – SIR REG – s/t – CD
John B. paddyrock.com

SIR REG is for lovers of Flogging Molly, The Pogues, The Men They Couldn’t Hang, The Dubliners, Dropkick Murphys and others in the folk/celtic/rock/punk style.

The songs deal with issues of hardship, emigration, pain and the desperation that many of our people are faced with, as well as the hopes and dreams that we share and the belief in a better future.

Not afraid to explore territory beyond Celtic Punk, this album tells its story using a wide range of music styles, while faithfully remaining true to the SIR REG sound.

The recent tours of Europe, both with The Misfits and as a headliner, have given the band an insight into other creative areas of both music and thinking which is strikingly evident within this album.

This is the next stop on the SIR REG journey. Make sure to be a part of it.
After all, deep down you already are!

Vånna Inget – “Allvar” – CD – release Oct. 7 2011 – HTR058 – Heptown Records

Pressrelease

Vånna Inget is punk with pop melodies and melodic vocals. The inspiration for the album is a jumble of Tant Strul, Pink Champagne, The Go-Go’s, old Uggla, Håkan Hellström and Marked Men.

The album “Allvar” is filled with musical spontaneity without to much studio work with choirs and guitars. It should sound so sad and vivid as possible. The album was recorded in guitarist Tommy Tift (Sista Sekunden) studio by the band themselves.

Everyone in the band come from small places around Småland, Sweden and the country side rather than the big city, that inspired the band to this album. Everybody in the band has now moved to the big city, away from small town small mind mentality.

Singer Karolina Engdahl sings with a passion and the anxiety squirts out of her jaw. Bas player Johan Ottosson laid his bas with depth and with drummer Andréas Almqvist and Tifts guitar, they deliver a carpet of beautiful noise.

Band members play in or have played in such as band like Sista Sekunden, A Good Deed, The Confession, Speakeasy, Civilisationen, The Part Timers and Morsans Gula Blend.

TICKANDE BOMB
Vånna Inget – Tickande Bomb by HEPTOWN RECORDS

Vånna Inget has a sound like other Swedish bands – Masshysteri, Knugen Faller, Baboon Show, Invasionen, etc. They are bands that have given punk a little more melodic vein. Vånna Inget have turned down the distortion and added some more minor chords and vocal harmonies but the intensity, anxiety and the energy is there anyway, like new wave music that was a reaction after the punk explosion in 1977.

Line up:
Karolina Engdahl – Vocals
Tommy Tift – Guitar
Johan Ottosson – Bass
Andréas Almqvist – Drums

Tracks:
1 Alla Andra Dagar
2 Hemvägen
3 Tickande Bomb
4 Småstadssyndrom
5 Allvar
6 Snabbare
7 Med Stänk Av Chanser
8 Som Man Lever
9 Jag Vet Inget
10 Vi Skakar Liv I En Trasig Värld

Releaseparty:
June 18 – kl 22.00 – Spisen, Lund, Sweden

“Utanför systemet” is Fubbix debut album and it offers a hodgepodge of goodies, a bit of a patchwork, given that it contains material from a broad time period. Songs from the newly awakened the start of quite recent creations is mixed and shaken on the plate, but it becomes no more real than that.

The band sings in Swedish and plays a melodic, energetic punk rock and the lyrics are about life in general, and Kalle Bagare in particular. Violence, love, sex, friends, enemies, and television shows discussed in the texts.

Inspiration:
GBH, Dead Kennedys, Exploited, Asta Kask, Moderal Likvidation, , Motörhead, Toy Dolls, Ramones, Kiss, New York Dolls & Kal P Dal

– We are Fubbix and we don’t care!

The album is recorded in Lund, Sweden at the classic “Hemgården Studio Bengt” by Mats Persson.

Bagaren – vocals, bass / Zigge – vocals, guitar / David – drums / Victor – guitar
