- what did people think of Gatans Lag debut CD?
Riot 77 papperzine #12
GATANS LAG - Alla hängda rövares själar CD (Kjell Hell)
Melodic Street Punk ala Cock Sparrer and The
Adicts, from Sweden I'm guessing? There's an undeniable German/Austrian
influence here though, so I could be wrong.
All lyrics an information is in their native language, but it still makes
for quality listening. Most photos feature the band members knocking back
a few beers, which would suggest this is apolitical stuff and based on
the music and vocal melodies alone, it packs a fair punch. They may not
cover a lot of territory, but their tried-and-tested approach leaves little
to be sniffed at and provides plenty of beer-in-the-air moments to sing
alone to. A solid release for what it is.

GATANS LAG - Alla hängda rövares själar CD (Kjell 006)
Old-school Swedish Oi! in the best tradition of the country, not unlike
Agent Bulldogg, really enjoyable, varied with melodic
and some harder songs. It's been a while since we heard some kickass Oi!
coming outta Sweden. Big 20-page booklet.

I´m a little bit sceptic already at the first sight of the record because
the singer have an Ultima-t-shirt. But this showed me really fast that
it was wrong because I got a mail rom Pike which says that is
it´s a shirt with the antifascist band from Spain Ultima Asalto....it
was nice....embarrassing for me but really good to hear.
When I read the lyrics I think it is a bit too much violence and fighting
in the lyrics. But I´m satisfied when I see that they don´t like Elfsborg
and that the music is actually really good. It feels in the same time
that they´re unpolitical (can anyone be unpolitical?) because here it
feels like the music is really classic in it´s punkstyle and it´s really
wellplayed but I would like them top have another style in their lyrics
than the violence which is filling their songs.
Check otherwise in the record because you will get positively surprised
of their punkrock which have traces from GBG Sound, Troublemakers
and that type of westcoast Swedish punk. They have got a much higher grade
if they had better lyrics.
