Review - The Hyper Actives - Rock ´n´Roll lives Again!

An X-ellent cover by Mattan Arts.
Mattan Arts

The Hyper Actives are a Stockholm based band in it to restore the former glory of Rock´n´Roll. And to be able to do that they have to transform them self to 1960ies Marvel kind of comic book characters.
This could been a nonsense joke, by a bunch of lads trying to be funny, but!!! There are some sad things about the world of music today, that gives their comic book fantasy mission a legacy IRL.

They ain´t alone in their mission, The Australians in Airbourne are on to the world in a similar operation. And soundwise the Hyper Actives are in the same genre as Airbourne with some elements of early Hellacopters. If I didn´t knew that this was a HA record and heard a song on the radio I would certainly believe that it was either Airbourne or a previously unreleased Hellacopters tune caressing my ears. 

Is that a bad thing, you might ask? That they sound so similar to the two band mentioned. Definitely not, at least not on this record. In fact, where the Australians tend to be a bit the same all over the three piece Stockholm band never turn dull. The are a lot of both musical knowledge and Rock´n´Roll romantics in it to make it be a really listen friendly record. And when Hellacopters gave up, the The Hyper Actives picked up the banner. A perfect record for the car stereo on the high way to hell. All the songs are good, catchy in a Hyper Active way. The two Strongest tracks are the two opening tracks “The Promised Land” and “Rock´n´Roller Man”, The opening tune “The Promised Land” deserves to be a huge radio hit. But it ain´t and that proves them right in their mission.  Finally, Yes! You made Rock ´n´ Roll live again!  

New Rancid Song - Fuck You!

Rancid been on to make a new album, here is a first bite, a tasteful bite....pretty old school 77-kind off, pre punkish rock n roll. Looks promising!

Halloween

Sellstock, 1970ies Punk Festival Restarts.

As I wrote yesterday there was a rumor in the air that the 1970ies punk legends Ebba Grön maybe would play again. Well that´s is exessivebly to say, but the fact is that the 77 punk festival Sellstock will be held as a celebration to the Oasen place. Sellstock together with Oasen was important parts of the Swedish punk scene in the end of the seventies. Notable band on stage is Tant Strul.

Ebba Grön will play?!?

(Re edited 23/8 2012, the likly place will be at Perssons Betong)


Swedens most legendary original punk band Ebba Grön is rumored to play again!?!

They have turned a lot of money to do soccer stadium gigs in Sweden. 




Recently did one of the first Swedish punk scenes start up again at the legendary Youth Centre "Oasen" in the infamous working class Suburb Rågsved. They started having punk gigs with the original 1970ies punk bands such as "The Pain" and "Bitch Boys" who was the latest bands on stage. ( I wasn´t there so I cant tell you much about it more than the people who was there seemed to like it.

Ebba Grön´s Thåström at a gig at Oasen back in the days.




The rumors in the air today is that "Ebba Grön" will play again. Not for 40 000 people but for a hundred or so. Well, Im not sure that will happend, Thåström have turned down any such thought, except when the members of Ebba Grön performed with the Clash Mick Jones as a tribute gig soon after Joe Strummers sudden death in 2002.


Anyway Oasen will certainly be packed by this rumor not just this week end but the whole year after, just in case, haha.



(Edited thursday 23/8 2012)

After some research I found out that the place will be at the Sellstock festival at Perssons Betong in Rågsved as a celebration to Oasen. Read More here.
