Randy – Welfare Problems
Fuckin punk rocking Swedes – with political themes. In the same vein as the bunch of other neo-Ramones Swedish garage-punk (Hives, Sahara Hotnights, etc) but with songs about overthrowing the government, police brutality, the welfare state, screwed-up families – basically how fucked up stuff is everywhere. And it rocks. Swedish garage rock meets the Dead Kennedys
Picks: ALL except 4, 10, 13 (FCCs)
FCC: 4, 10, 13
1. rocks, overthrow the corrupt government
2. Anti-police – rocks! – “I hate a man in a uniform”
3. mad at the fucked up world
4. Armageddon! – lots of FCCs
5. quotes the Ramones at beginning, fucked up families
6. punk party song
7. welfare state
8. civil disobedience
9. somewhat 70s rock, don’t get me angry!
10. punk anthem – FCC –“shit”
11. fast rocker – anti-social, paranoia, misanthropic
12. LOTS of FCCs –
