" Vakna för fascisterna är här! " ReggaeTeam
Classic Swedish Ska from the early 80ies.
Reggae Team does a Swedish Ska Cover on
Linton Kwesi Johnsons "Fite Dem Back"
I dont remember what Tv show this was taken from, Possibly Zorro 1982?
Most noable member was Tohmas Gylling, who got to be a popular TV host and producer of
Reggae, calypso and African music, shows such as Tropicopop and Mosquito.

Topper at Snövit jan 26 2013, Not far from Divine!
A bit of explanation of the Suburbs of Sweden, to understand the full mening of the Topper song We live in the suburbs.. After the WW2 when the European cities got their town centres bombed to peaces, the architects decided to spread out the cities in smaller towns in satelite towns. I live in what is considered as the Suburbia masterpiece, Vällingby that was built in the mid fifties, A town that stood as model for many suburbs in both Sweden and the world. During the 60ies and 70ies Sweden built 1milion new apartements which went under the name Miljonprogrammet (Now you know what the title of Ligisternas CD "Miljonprogrammet" means). Building in such speed for a country of just 8 milions was not without problems.
At the same time unemployment struck the country as well as the drugs found its way to sweden, as well as the imigration increased not always without problems. Suburbia wasn´t that paradise that was the intention, in fact Swedes tend to call them Ghettos.
It is in the suburbs swedish punk, metal and hip hop scenes got started.
Being from the Suburbs is for many middle class, inner city, people the same as being a total failure.
Some suburbia songs to check out;
Ebba Grön - Only in it for the drugs pt1
Topper - We live in the suburbs
The Dräpers - Råby
Kasta Katt - Full, Fet och Fattig
Hårda Tider - Området & Packet
Now onto the review....
The event and the crowd
The night before I and the bassplayer from Utanförskapet, Björn, was chatting about that it might be a good idea to get bands from different genres to play the same night to get more people to the concerts. Bad idea, proved by this Saturday in the cellar club of Snövit. Lets say, the punks were in minority in this punk club. Hippies ala 70ies, leftist 70ies progg* rockers as well as bikers populated the packed club. As did the bands on stage, with a horrible result. Björn, hear me, it was a bad idea! The Stockholm syndrome of stay as a statue and not stir up a mosh pit was well practiced in absurdum. I did a try with no use at all.
The Bands
The Highway Men and Pizda...Forget about them on to the good stuff...
Topper are a Stockholm band that like Rancid have the Clash as role model which is not a bad thing.
In another place or universe Topper might been a huge band touring the world like Rancid. But they don´t, which I find most peculiar. They are no youngsters and beginners and know whats make good punk within their genre. The band are tight, catchy and very well sounding, especially the carismatic singer that seems to put his whole soul in every word sung/screamed. I cant believe I see such a great performance so close to the band. They out score Dropkick Murphys great performance on the much bigger stage with a much bigger crowd earlier this week big times. There are shivers running down my spine when I realize that I am experience this. However, they didn´t played or pushed their new digital single "Dårar" where they sing in Swedish. But we got their classic tunes "Once a Punk...", "Off She Goes" and the World class tune "We live in the Suburbs". The "We live in the Suburbs" made me burst into tears that only really good concerts do. I couldn´t belive my ears and eyes how good such good performance a bunch of old men from the suburbs could put on. I wrote last summer I saw the light at the Rancids performance in Gothenburg, this was something like it.
Worth the money? Are you kidding me? I payed 80SKr (8 Euros) for three bands, which I could spend the 80SKr on not listening to the two pretentious hippie and progg/prog bands. I could pay 800Skr for seeing Topper in such shape.

Makabert fynd, Giesa Göbbels at Pussy a Go go, Stockholm jan 2013 (concert review)
Picture will soon be posted
Kängpunk (Boots Punk) is a Swedish genre label to fit in everything Crust, D-beat, Hard Core and Punk Metal, sometimes we call it Råpunk (Raw Punk). And I think it´s the propper way to describe what was going on in the 16th century cellar club of Stockholm´s Old Town friday 25 of Januari 2013.
The Place
Pussy A Go Go is placed in the basement of the Irish Pub The Liffey. The stone walls in the old cellar of the mideval house isn´t really the wet dream of a sound engineer, on the other hand, these bands were more into damage our ears than than to quallify for the sound of the year award. And they did...It is hard, fast and full of joyfull energy.
The Crowd
Plenty, I estimated it to be almost full, not quite but good enough. I knew a few, other wer new to me, some I seen around but never spoken to. Still it is a very friendly punk and metal head atmoshere like it often is in Stockholms punk scene. No rock star behavoir from the bands, no fractionistas building up hostility to each others, this is written after the violence outside the Alpine Village in California the same week. People are here for the bands, beers and fun in general. and you could really talk about all ages. Both old gezers or schould I say original punks to be more polite in their late 40ies/early 50ies down to a bunch of 19 year old pierced studded leather jacket punks. Most of the crowd not into the sometimes rather chaotic moshing in the front.
The Bands
Giesa Göbbles
Giesa Göbbels is a Stockholm band with an Australian singer. It is fast, hard and heartfull. I really have a hard time to say if there are good tunes in that massive treble noise that comes from the stage. But I like it because it is so well done. Some think it more metal than punk, I don´t, this is punk in it primal shape, don´t get fooled by the looks of the instrumentalists in the band (like Lemmys unborn sons and Lemmy is punk anyway), it is kängpunk, nuff said. It is a good days work delivered to us to enjoy and at least I did, I guess the rest of the crowd enjoyed it to.
Makabert Fynd (transl. Macabre Discovery)
Makabert Fynd is in my eyes something as a semi all star team of hard core or something, or am I just making that up because I want it to be that way? Refused might be more famous but this guys are the real stuff and they are nice too. And you can tell. it is fast, furious and tight. I guess the guys on stage in their 80-90ies HC bands didn´t sounded as tight as this. The Two singers brings something extra to the performance. It becomes like an dialog whitin the band on stage that is refreshing.
The subjects is mostly about the anoying things going on in our time. The lyrics in Swedish makes it even more credible. Not least the song titles are both funny and angry in one. But that is just details, the mayhem that going on in the music and in the mosh infront of the stage is the thing.
The bands reminds a bit of the excellent bands Knark and Totallitär, and it isn´t out of the blue, because half of the members from Knark are in this 5 piece combo. as well as the singer of the 80ies band Totalitär and Makabert Fynd is the same person.
Worth the Money?
The entrance fee of 100Skr (10 Euros) is well spent money, I feel glad and cleansed when I hit the subway home. Maybee can I cope with the contemporary insanity that they call the world today for another few weeks?
