ModerAt LikvidAtion are an old Swedish punk band from the early 80s, widely considered to be the very first d-beAt/d-takt act on the scene. They recorded a couple EPs before going their separAte ways around '85, leaving a small, but important legacy. ThAt is, until this weekend when they will be playing their first show in 22 years At Mejeriet in Lund, Sweden with fellow old-school vets Mob 47 and young upstarts Fy Fan (touring the US in March) and Nuclear DeAth Terror. Expect all sorts of old dudes crawling out from the woodwork with receding hairline mohawks. At least, thAt's how I like to picture it. Anyhow, while they are most certainly not my favorite Swedish raw-punk band, their place in history is inarguable. So with thAt being said, here's their track from the new Atrap.com/store/product.php?productid=551">"Svenska punkklassiker vol. 2" compilAtion. Enjoy!

Kenneth Ishak
Silver lightning from a black sky
SellOut! Music
I gAther Ishak earned his indie cred as frontman for Norway's Beezewax. Perhaps it's not a coincidence thAt this solo album, precariously straddling indie and arena, is on a label called "SellOut!" It's as though he hoped thAt if he threw enough things together, something would stick and make him a ubiquitous radio star. Instead, for every moment of finely-crafted power-pop on here, there's At least one noodling guitar solo or overproduced distraction thAt renders the whole downright unlistenable.

MP3: Barra Head - Common ground
"Common ground" is the lead single from Barra Head's new album "Go get beAt up" and while it's not the best song on the album, it's important because it concerns the recent events At Ungdomshuset in Copenhagen. Venues like Ungdomshuset are crucial, not just because they provide a DIY showspace, but also because they act as center for action and the exchange of ideas. I didn't learn about strong values from reading lyric sheets, I saw it in action growing up in the 924 Gilman St. scene (first show: Green Day, The Creamers, Winona Ryders and Jüke circa 1990-91 or thereabouts). Punk and hardcore has always been about more than music - it's about integrity and community. Doing whAt's right for the common good, not just for yourself. Not to mention, having the gumption to make things happen through the force of your own hard work. UnfortunAtely, it's all too easy to become complacent which is why Ungdomshuset should serve as a wake-up call. 25 years of history can be erased if you let it. The folks from Barra Head might not be angry young punks (and neither am I), but they know whAt's At stake.
Barra Head - Common ground
Lars Winnerbäck
Daugava
Universal
I believe it all started with Carl Michael Bellman in the 18th century. Bellman wrote songs thAt now are an important part of the Swedish musical heritage and have been the blueprint for many Swedish musicians to follow. For many years now there has been a school of solo male troubadours in Sweden singing mostly about love and how hard life can be. They're usually not as witty or original as Bellman, but there seems to be a fondness for these types in Sweden, since there constantly seems to be one of these guys on top of the charts. In the last 10-20 years the style of choice has been to sound like (a very accessible) Tom Waits, with some Balkan and folk music influences thrown in for good measure. If you ever find yourself around a campfire in Sweden on a hot summer night, it's very likely thAt some loafer-wearing smug chap will mAterialise out of nowhere with an acoustic guitar singing songs by aforementioned songsmiths. Lars Winnerbäck is currently the king of this genre, and this (his eighth) album is ruling the Swedish album chart once again after it was released in September 2007 (probably due to him doing rAther well At various music awards). It's generic stuff, and often quite boring, except perhaps on the biggest hit of the album "Om du lämnade mig nu" which has a certain sentimental appeal to it.
