- what did people think of the compilation Brewed In Sweden vol.2?

---

Punk & Oi! in the U.K. webzine
Brewed In Sweden volume 2 - Various (Blind Beggar Records)
15 bands, 30 songs, 77 minutes of Oi! Most of the songs on the CD are previously unreleased. 98% of the lyrics are in English. There's a lot of the bands I have never heard of before, but I cannot pick any fault with any of the bands or the music. If you like pure Oi! you'll like this - a great follow up to volume one. I still think that after the UK, Sweden produce the finest Oi!.

VVAA “Brewed In Sweden II” Cd (Blind Beggar)
Thanks to Pike we have in advance what will be soon the second volume of this compilation which put together the best from the Swedish scene and which will be out on Blind Beggar Records. More than 70 minutes, 30 songs and 15 bands: Agent Bulldogg, Clockwork Crew, Battle Scarred, Dims Rebellion, Radio 69 etc. In general the bands level is a bit lower than the first volume (sincerely impossible to be better!). But we can enjoy good surprises such as Blisterhead, The Sluggers or Scumbags, it seems that from Sweden still born more and more good bands!!

V/A - Brewed In Sweden 2 (Blind Beggar Records)
Listen up all streetpunk and Oi! fans in all over the world!!!! Sweden´s finest bands have once again united and released a compilation that will blow your brain out. 15 band are featured, in all of 30 tracks (19 unreleased tracks, 4 tracks can only be found on vinyl = 7 tracks can be found somewhere else), 77 minutes of what the fuck this is all about. The bands should need no introducing but here they are: Blisterhead, The Sluggers, Dim´s Rebellion, St Laura, The Clockwork Crew, Da Skywalkers, Agent Bulldogg, Scumbags, Smalltown, Down And Away, Topper, SIC, The Loiters, Radio 69 and Battlescarred.
For you people who bought the first Brewed In Sweden i say to you. You won´t be dissapointed. This issue is probably even better, our scene have grown even more during the last year and here´s the price of all the work that all people in the scene have putted down. No track feels weak, not even one feels mediocre. Agent Bulldogg is singing in swedish again. Giving for me, the TRUE, Bulldogg sound. Last years upcommers Dim´s Rebellion won´t dissapoint you this year as well, they still kick ass. The Sluggers from Umeå gives the scene a real kick of aggro streetpunk. Scumbags gives you old style aggro punk. Battlescarred countinues with their old style Oi! sound. The Clockwork Crew is here with their unique sound aswell putting some more old style Oi! on this compilation. Some new acts like Topper , Down And Away and St Laura won´t dissapoint you either. As far as i know they are pretty unknown but sure know how to play punk like fuck. Tracks like "Once A Punk Always A Punk"by Topper, "Punks. Inc" by Down And Away and "9 2 5" by St Laura really wonders why i haven´t heard of these bands before.
And other older streetpunk and punkrock acts like Radio 69, Da Skywalkers, Smalltown and Sic, gives you a real chock of brilliant modern punk tunes - proving that the swedish scene is really something. The newcommers The Loiters won´t dissapoint you either with slower, singalong, punk sounds about our lifestyle. And an other new band that´s really have made a fast, but damn good career is Blisterhead and I can just sum them up with one word: Brilliant. This compilation makes me proud of being swedish, of being skinhead, of putting so much time into supporting the scene. Of everything. This is, in my eyes, truly one of the best compilations in streetpunk and Oi! history. This is THE streetpunk compilation of the year - in all of the world! And if you don´t get it then get the fuck away from our scene.
Thanks thanks THANKS Pike, Blind Beggar and everyone else out there for putting up a second to the already classic Brewed In Sweden 1 and everyone else out there making this possible. We Will Never Die!

BREWED IN SWEDEN VOL 2(CD-BLIND BEGGAR BEG CD 031)
It´s really fantastic how much good punkmusic it´s in Sweden. A whole gang of "unknown" and some more etsablished groups. It´s streetpunk it´s all about and then it´s not bands like Voice of a Generation, Negatives and Bombshell Rocks on this compilation. But heres some fucking good bands like Blisterhead and Sluggers which plays fast good punkrock. St.Laura goes fast and it´s incredibly good. Topper is always good, Clockwerk Crew sounds like Blitz and Agent Bulldogg is the only band which is singing in swedish. Radio 69 is a gothenburgband and therefore fucking good because they sound like early SLF. And it´s no group which not is good on this record and this record should be in every good punkers home.
