Beardo (music videos)

Some nice punkrock and rapsongs from a man that don't take himself to serious. Sort of reminds me about Beastie Boys before they went intergalactic.

Tracklist:
01. Inget ljus (No light)
02. Tror du? (Do you think?)

This band shows how popmusic with bloody cowbells, synthesizer and whatnot can be done well. Why they never became popular is beyond me.

Fantastic band that sticks out thanks to their singer and swing-sound. Track number four is bloody phenomenal and sort of sad since Torr Skoog the bands frontman commited suicide a couple of days ago. Just goes to show that life grinds a little bit to hard sometimes.

15. The veros - Break up instrumental (The Franks cover)

A compilation of all their unreleased songs and compilation songs that i uploaded on Down Underground back when i still worked with them.

Most of the songs where given by the members themselfs and are demo-recordings with no release behind them. Also added the mastered songs by Longshot Records and two coveres that The Veros made. The band also released an EP in 2002 but that one will be uploaded on a different occation.

Anyone who knows me know i love to pester people with this band and some poor US bands that wanted nothing more than to give me a demo to promote their band ended up with being forced to listening to this band over and over again. A friend from my old workplace even banned this record from his computer since i always used to put it on after a couple of beers. So yeah i sort of like this group and never understood why people never shared my passion for them.

Sound? Think Counterattack mixed with early Skrewdriver and a ton of handclapps.

13. Burn in flames
14. Digging my grave

Released by Voodoo Rhythm Records in 2002.

The most mainstream and least strange album by Beat-man and his cult-followers, also one of the best records ever released in any genre. The album mixes around early surfsound with a tough of rockabilly and punk but i guess the right tag for it is garage rock since the basement sound is dominant the whole album through.

Probably one of the rarest Swedish punkrecords to date with only a handfull of copies out there and obscure bands that no one but Swedish music nerds or people in their 50's that spent their youth in little Värnamo has heard about.
Most songs are far from good but the band Tvärtom is bloody fantastic and needs some recognition today.
High quality scans of the albumcover and aditional information can be found here (number 17). If anyone needs any of the records posted in that list i might be of help so please let me know.

12. My broken dreams

Released by Les Troubadours Du Chaos in 2007.

Through and through a solid record reminding me about how good early punkrock like Skrewdrivers where when i first got into them. As most times when a band comes from France their English is a bit of sounding somewhat like their Japanese counterparts. But who cares about pronunciation when a band rocks this hard. Only real problem is that it took me 5 years to find out it even existed.
A must have!!

Rock/Industrial from Sweden

01. No rule
02. Death threats
03. Slow death
04. Ensam i natt (outro)

Released by Industrial Records in 1979.

Ealry release by the band when the fantastic and legendary Freddie Wadling (Cortex, Perverts & Liket lever) was still in the line-up. The second part of the album goes straight over my head with it's artsyfartsy industrial sheit but the first song is just to damn good.

07. Last caress

Released by Planet 9 Records in 1980.

Was supposed to be released as a straight EP in 1979 but was delayed until after their tour, thanks to this they added some extra tracks.
In my oppinion this is one of the most complete punkrock albums of it's time and probably one of the most played ones in my household since the 90's.
