Just won some Ebay aucions and found some stuff I'd missed in the books.
Boom Shanker Group - Actually not as bad as someone said. Better than the average Pang bands anyway (the album was released on Büms)
Kalajs - Kom igen/Asocial - In the same vein as Motvid, but heavier.
Fagin - I'd Better Go/Rocksymphony (1978) - Pretty decent late 70s boogie hard rock. They are from Göteborg with a Magnus Rosén and a Peter Jacobsson in the line up. Called Magnus today, but he's in Greece. Will talk to him next week.
Sticky Sweet - Freezin' To My Bones (1989) - Pretty awful sleaze
Umeå Small Band - Bluesy hard rock
Another one that can be written off the list is L.E.G.G. The band was not Swedish, but American - GREAT record though!
Some new (old) Swedish finds

I wouldn't consider Motvind HR/HM in any way though...Stark wrote:Just won some Ebay aucions and found some stuff I'd missed in the books.

Well, I'd say they touched on it at times, like the song "Fem fina". Generally though, not heavy at all.JonahQuizz wrote:I wouldn't consider Motvind HR/HM in any way though...Stark wrote:Just won some Ebay aucions and found some stuff I'd missed in the books.

Re: Some new (old) Swedish finds
Forgot to mention: they also did a 7" under the name SMALL BAND, but it's even less HR than the first one (which is already rather "borderline"). Before the singles they had 2 pretty good songs on the "6x2" comp LP from '81 which were more in the nwobhm-vein. Small band pic here.Stark wrote:Umeå Small Band - Bluesy hard rock
