Best n Worst 2014 (the list)

In 2014 Rancid finally released their album, . And was it any good? Yes, even if it wasn´t any "...and out came the wolves" so was it a Rancid record in the middle section. Which means it was a good record. And only outscored by Ligisternas dark release Vänster/Höger, .
2014 saw me as a gig organizer. Topper, Smash it up, Fuck Frankie, Dödsbabs, The MANICS, Tequila Girls, Psycho Daddies and Troublemakers was on the bill when I booked the bands. But also did I became manager of the band Topper, that after a turbulent time in their existence wich got them to fire one of the founding members.
As well did my film get into the final phase of filming. Interviews with the creme de la creme in the Swedish punk scen is done or booked.
And thats the reason why this blog have been sleaping most of the year.
On a personal level I did get some domestic trouble, but we´re working it out now.


The Live Scene in Stockholm was noteble for an increase numbers of gigs, but not the same addition in visitors. Good acts came to fight each other for the punk community members to see their event. Not a good thing, which I feel a bit responible for.
My events (arranged together with Joakim Hammarstedt) was crowded. But over all it is a problem we can´t ignore.

A irritating issue however is that the punk nostalgia is taking over the scene. New bands, young bands are not given a chance. The "it was better back in the Days" mentallity is the new trend. And I fear it will increase next year.
