- what did people think of the compilation Brewed In Sweden vol.3?
Negative Reaction papper fanzine #3
V/A - Brewed In Sweden vol 3 CD (Kjell Hell)
A really well packed 23 song comp here with short biogs and pics of each
band.
Unlike most comps this includes a lot of unreleased stuff and quality
control is high; in fact the household names like Bombshell Rocks
and Voice Of A Generation are made to sound inferior
by many of the bands, esp Voice Of 77, Flapjacks, SCAMS
and Bombdolls.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - Brewed In Sweden volume 3 (Kjell Hell
Records)
The third showcase of Swedish streetpunk presents 23 bands offering their
best Oi!, punk and tough guy stuff, Swedish style - which actually sounds
remarkably like what you'd expect from folks that love COCKSPARRER
and RANCID. If you do too, you might want to check this
out.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - Brewed In Sweden volume 3 (Kjell Hell
Records)
Swedish streetpunk sampler.
To paraphrase Monty Python, apart from a Garage Rock revival, Abba, Ikea
and Sven Goran Eriksson, what have the Swedes ever done for us?
Well for starters, there's their enduring love affair with Streetpunk
and Oi, which has been well and truly documented on this here 23-track
compilation. There are a couple of names to be found here you'll no doubt
be already familiar with, namely Voice of a Generation
and Bombshell Rocks who unfortunately contributed previously
released tracks. There are some hidden gems though, particularly The
Flap-Jacks anthemic "Killing Me", The Mockingbirds
"Regrets" and Ticking Bombs "Battle Cry".
While there's nothing particularly groundbreaking here, if Streetpunk
is your cup of tea you should have no trouble finding something to your
taste.

VVAA - Brewed In Sweden volume 3 (Kjell Hell Records)
Everyday I´m more surprised with Sweden, how a not very big country can
host such a lot of great bands? An answer? I don´t known, but every time
I get a new record from this country I get a nice surprise, because besides
quantity, in Sweden there´s quality!! And this is what really count.
After the two first volumes at least arrived in our hands the thirth volume
of this compilation, and it´s as good as the previous ones. Nothing less
than 23 bands with one song from every one, and the main part are unreleased
or they have been released only in vinyl. Most of the bands have a punkrock
base but they touch various styles: clasic punk, Oi!, American style punkrock
and also some hardcore. Amongst all these bands we find well known names
as Voice of a Generation, Agent Bulldogg
or Bombshell Rocks and a lot of more unknown bands from
which I liked the more Dims Rebellion, The Mockingbirds
or Voice of 77. The booklet is nice and well realized,
full colour, with photos and an intro to every band. If you liked the
previous volumes, you won´t be disappointed with this new one!

Brewed In Sweden volume 3 - Various (Kjell Hell Records)
23 track compilation of Sweden's premier punk bands, with the tracks being
either previously unreleased or only available on vinyl.
Each band gets 1 track and I'm not going to list all the bands as it would
take too long so I'll point out my favourites. Ruthless Bastards
start the whole thing off with a great sounding streetpunk song. Voice
of a Generation have a sound not a millio miles away from Snuff
(but they're not as fast). I haven't got a clue what Malte X
are singing about but their track 'alkohol' is a good rock'n'roll
punk tune. The Sluggers sound like Last Resort,
while Hathor play a son that could have been written
by Motorhead. Bombshell Rocks shouldn't need
any introduction and have a cracking song on here 'No.1'.
I could go on but I'll just say that IF this CD represents the standard
of Punk in Sweden, we (us here in the U.K.) have a lot of catching up
to do. If you like all things punk you won't be disappointed by this.

VARIOUS ARTISTS - Brewed in Sweden Vol. 3
Kjell Hell Records is a brand new record company, and Brewed in Sweden
vol. 3 is it's first release. Volume 1 and 2 was released by Blind Beggar,
but this time the swedes has decided to do it themself. 23 different bands
appear on this cd. Most of them are bands unknown to me, but you also
have a few of the well known swedish bands like Voice of a Generation
and Agent Bulldogg.
I'm a huge fan of swedish punkrock. Bands like Agent Bulldogg, The Jinx,
Asta Kask etc. is among my favourite bands but i must confess that I also
has some prejudices against new bands coming out of Sweden. I think they
tend to have a more american sound and with me beeing a fan of the old
UK'77 sound, it doesn't always go that well in my ears. My prejudices
are partly confirmed here but I also get a few extremely nice surprises.
Dims Rebellion is always good, even though I have heard
them better than their contribution here. Malte X I have
never heard of before but I think their track, Alkohol, is very good.
Agent Bulldogg is one of my all time favourite bands
and I was very disappointed when I found out that their contribution to
this album was the track Disappear. I expected a new track so that's why
I was disappointed. The song is a Madness cover and has previously been
released on a Madness tribute album. Great song in all ways but it is
not new.
Hathor is also new to me and their track, Philthy, is
definitely one of the highlights of the album. They have a more dirty,
glam-like sound than most of the other bands on the compilation. Other
bands I like here is the Drive-Ins, Contemptuous,
Frontlash and Bombshell Rocks.
47 Bands from all over Sweden has appeared on the three Brewed records.
That is quite impressive and tells us that punk's not dead in Sweden.
With all these bands there are still a few I miss. The Jinx haven't appeared
on any of the brewed albums but I would love to see them there. There
is also a good hardcore-band called Heldback that I would like to see
there.
Anyway, I guess this cd, like the rest of the Brewed in Sweden cds, gives
a fairly good picture of the punk scene in Sweden. It's worth buying because
the tracks that are good are really good, and then it doesn't matter if
some of the tracks are rather uninteresting.
Kjell Hell Records is also promising us releases from Dims Rebellion and
The Accidents before christmas. I am especially looking forward to the
debut album of Dims. They have released a 7' earlier and they appear on
vol. 1, 2 and 3 in the Brewed in Sweden series. Very promising band indeed.

BREWED IN SWEDEN VOL 3 (CD-Kjell Hell KJELL 001)
Third record in this serie of swedish street/oi/punkrock. First out is
Ruthless Bastards and they do a real oipunk which feels
like it´s taken from the beginning of the 80´s. Dims
Rebellion is really interesting with their oipunk with saxophone
and there is no band in Sweden who sounds like them, I really looking
foreward to thwe fullength which will be released with them on Kjell Hell.
Voice of a Generation Rancidsimilar punk is really good.
Flap Jacks plays also they a Rancidstyled music. The
first swedishsinged song stands Malte X for and Agent
Bulldogg have a Swedish name but they sings in English. A little
bit like 4-skins in some way, really good. Mockingbirds
is one of my favouritedemobands and they continue to convince me with
their good punk. Contemptuous is really nice and here
it smells Swedish punk of the 80´s. Accidents plays
fast and they´re really good. Inglorious Bastards
is almost the best group on the record because their music it´s
done to sing along with. Terrible Mistakes melodic punkrock
is also really good and Troublemakers play the last song
on the record with their Hatlåt and they have never been wrong.
