The Bristles were an early 80’s hardcore punk band from Landskrona, Sweden. Their name was taken from GBH´s “Leather, Bristles, Studs and Acne”. Singer Wiking was kicked due to different view on things (some say he had strong rightwing tendencies and a real communist hate) and Puma, who had earlier played in Black Uniforms, took the mic. Played about 75 gigs during the three years they existed.
Had a reunion in 1986 and changed name to Bristles D.C and recorded an EP, but the spirits where gone and the band died.
Fek from Temerin Vojvodina (Serbia)
Grindcore/crust punk
deo intervjua from Helly Cherry: HC: Na pocetku, da odmah razjasnimo: kada, kako, i zašto se FEK oformio?
F: Fek se oformio 07 na leto,ideja je bila jednostavna hteli smo da sviramo,dogovor je brzo pao,neki članovi su već bili aktivni u nekim drugim bendovima a probe je bilo logično da imamo kod Peđe u šupi.
HC: Da li ste odmah znali kakav zvuk želite ili se on vremenom formirao pod uticajem clanova? F: Hteli smo da sviramo nešto kao crust punk ali smo vremenom svatili da je suvišno da se držimo nekog izlizanog kalupa,svaka nova stvar varira od punka do grinda pa možda nekad I malo pover violence.Lepo je to što našu muziku nekad ljudi upoređuju sa nekim zvukom ili bendom, to nam se uvek sviđa ali nam nije važno da zadovojlimo tuđe zahteve nego da sviramo muziku koja nas pokreće. . .

great split ,great unique music , ,
CRASS on Radio Sheffield in 1982, but more than just an interview, this is CRASS hanging around the studio for an evening and talking about the formation and the history of their band and the scene which they were instrumental in creating. Just listen three minutes into the second track...listen to these folks talk about the spirit of DIY punk and the shit is more than a little inspiring: "you've got something, you've got the potential....if it's worth doing, it's worth doing properly." Beyond that, there are loads of historical factoids contained here that I found fascinating (who knew that the Do They Owe Us A Living EP was funded by the death of Steve Ignorant's grandmother?), as well as CRASS discussing the political ideals that drove their band's very existence. Granted, this is a long fucking tape, clocking in at a full 90 minutes, but it's well worth your Sunday, and it's great hearing these dudes putting on tunes from POISON GIRLS, MARK STEWART, THE REJECTED, KRONSTADT UPRISING, CHARLES MINGUS, and a few CRASS songs as well. This is a brilliant document of a hugely influential band.
