Some new (old) Swedish finds

[Stark]

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!

Great hauls,Stark!
I also have the Boom Shanker Group,and wondering if they are a Swedish act or not... Do you think they are from Sweden??

[Stark]

Just talked to the singer. The band was from Oskarshamn, definitely Swedish. He said he sent 10 records to a guy... probably the same guy I paid a lot to...

I wouldn't consider Motvind HR/HM in any way though...

Well, I'd say they touched on it at times, like the song "Fem fina". Generally though, not heavy at all.

What's Magnus Rosen doing in Greece?!?

Umeå Small Band - Bluesy hard rock

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.
