In the veins of Badlands and Jenny Woo Uncle Trash plays acoustic rock with a "skinhead message". Might not be the best stuff i have heard but sure better than most songs by his female counterpart.

EBM/Industrial from Sweden

Tracklist:
01. Pouppée fabrikk - Die jugend
02. Pouppée fabrikk - Needs
03. Åter koma - Depressiva the voyage

Released by Cock Production in 1989.

Far from what i listen to otherwise but always enjoyed the feeling that PF has brought me and to be honest they are often more provocative and pissed than most punk from Sweden. With an intro from an old B-movie and the lyrics about WWII Die Jugend is a killer song, just stay away from Åter Koma who is on some artsyfartsy Neo-Folk trip.

Die Jugend

Lyrics for Only the fake survive by Antonella's Klasse Kriminale

Antonella's past in the scene is a long trackrecord and unlike most other old dogs she can get away with proudly saying she's never been a soldier of fame or politics. After being the creator of the band Klasse Kriminale (where she wrota all the music 'till 1991) and playing in bands like Straw Dogs and Battle zone she finally got her well deserved respect last year as she released her first album in a long time with members from both Aceface and Strawdogs. This particular song is aimed at that original member that kept using the Klasse Kriminale name but turncoated it into a more political band (leftwinged).

Antonella's Klasse Kriminale

So many year's they have gone by
and stories i can't recognice
You took the glory, you love the fame
and you still play my songs today
So why are you still going on
look back at yesterday
We were a band for our homeland
yeah those days where really great

Only the fake survive
It's true
Only the fake survive
Just look at you

How much fun it must be
when you're re-writing history
You've changed your colours
through and through
So why can't people see through you
and why is it still going on
I can't see the glory
when you're living out a lie

Only the fake survive
It's true
Only the fake survive
Just look at you

10. Out of the darkness

Released by Rock-O-Rama in 1988 and later re-released on CD in the 90's.

An Oi! band that seemed to change their sound overnight and as much as the rumours might say that the band only went from patriotism to nationalism because they got a big paycheck and a studio payed by some rich rightwinged leader i think the focus should be kept on the music.... which is fucking fantastic, and not at all as political as some might think. Few skinheadbands has been able to create such brutal waranthems as this band did. Battle dressed in black and Hate you to death are legendary fucking songs in my book. Screw Skrewdriver where are all the modern coversongs of this band?

Released by Knock Out Records in 1995.

Much much better than their first LP and whole lot cheaper. Either you love them or hate them since they have a very distinct sound. Some broken English, a whole lot of candycoated songs, a bit cliché, some failed attempts at sounding like Danzig but still one of the best and most unique Swedish Oi! releases in my oppinion.

Released by Last Resort Records in 1995.

A band with that had both Puncc from Battle Scarred and Bisson from Steelcapped Strength in their lineup through the years. Unlike most other viking rock this was a band that always spoke to me with their more brutal punksound.
