I believed last
year that 2013 should be the year of many good punk rock records. And in some
ways it went that way. Dropkick Murphys. Asta Kask, Bad Religion, Vänsternäven,
Alonzo Fas 3 and Gatans Lag did release rather good records. But THAT record
wasn´t made, the one that stood out a bit more than the other, the undisputable,
already classic, record wasn´t made. As many band that didn´t got their shit
together and released theirs, there was as many that didn´t. Most notable the
failure of the next Rancid album. Do they work on their version of Chinese
Democracy or what?.
Tim Armstrong did however set some crazy record in releasing most singles or something?
Live, there were few surprises, the West Coast Riot was taking a pause, which made the summer a bit dull. Antisocial stepped out of the shadows and became the best live music punk club in Stockholm.
The sad news was that Lou Reed died and DERBY STHLM drummer Turbo have to quit because of illness. And that Ligisterna was spending more time in the crowd than on the stage.
