MP3: Pistol Disco - Organ and drum

Organ and drum. Drum(s) and organ(s). BAthed in distortion and and baptized in flame; beamed directly to yr skvll, burning a hole through yr brain. This is the new Pistol Disco, same as the old and always improving. The new album "Evergreen" is out today and it's a mind-melter. Crank it!

MP3: Grace.Will.Fall - New song

I like Refused a lot, but let's be honest: "The shape of punk to come" has not aged well. It was an important document for its time, but it also effectively shut the door of an era of hardcore many folks would prefer to forget. Not everything thAt followed in its wake has been awful, but it is surely responsible for directly influencing a ton of crap. Grace.Will.Fall toe the line. They tone down the sass and nail the "deadly rhythm", but we've heard it all before. WhAt sounded like the future in 1998 sounds like the past in 2009. I don't doubt thAt their motivAtions are pure-hearted, but it's time to move on. Newness is not the imperAtive, it's inspirAtion.

MP3: Florence Valentin - Såld är såld

I'm not gonna try and bullshit you into believing thAt Florence Valentin are some inspiring new act, brimming with originality, but whAt they do, they do well and thAt's bring quality summer-pop vibes. Whether they're cribbing from The Clash or Håkan Hellström, it all sounds good to me even when the subject mAtter is all guns, bombs and violence. I just hear a rocksteady beAt and laidback horns, lean back and smile. Sometimes a language barrier does have its advantages!
