Socialstyrelsen - I Krossade Speglars Skarvor - VINYL LP

Socialstyrelsen The most promising band from Sweden right now. The harsh vocals, the piercing guitars and the thundering d-beat drumming combined makes this stand out from the rest. Think Protestera and Massmord and you have sort of an idea on what to expect. Brute force trauma Kängpunk from Mariestad, Sweden. D-beat/crustpunk in the vein of the old masters. The band resembles to Wolfpack/Wolfbrigade and this is not by accident - Markus, the former bassplayer - handles the bassduties in this sextett as well. Split Vinyl LP.

Being in a band is often a cheap alternative to therapy. It allows an outlet for feelings it's members can't articulate. It provides a space for physical inhibitions to be let loose. For Big Nothing's Liz Parsons, the need for that mental nourishment became evident when she moved to Philadelphia. She found herself fitting into the city nicely, yet felt isolated and empty. Her new home was one of America's musical epicenters - a big reason she moved there - and she didn't plan on wasting any time filling the indie rock shaped hole in her life. She shot a text to guitarist Pat Graham, who recently had a conversation with drummer Chris Jordan about starting a new project. Once Matt Quinn caught wind of the three playing music together - he begged to bring his Rickenbacker tone into the mix. After jamming out some Voice Memo riffs - Big Nothing was here to stay. Sonically, big nothing find themselves borrowing cues from indie mainstays like Superchunk and The Replacements. It's clear that they are trying to unhinge themselves from patterns they've repeated in the past, but they're also not afraid to blast the tried and true methods of rock and roll. Their live shows mirror the honesty of their albums. Big Nothing is a genuine rock band.
