Cover EP by Psychopunch.
Swedish four piece PSYCHOPUNCH is a phenomenon of its own.
In times like these not many things are of continuous existence.
Especially for the music bizz. Many bands have come and gone and most of
them disappeared without being noticed. Thanks that there are exceptions.
Being one of them is PSYCHOPUNCH from VΣsteras in Sweden. For more than
eleven years they have been out there on a mission in RockÆnÆRoll and some
might think that was it. How wrong can they be!
Psychopunch hail from VΣsterσs,one of sweden┤s major industrial towns.
The band started back in 1998 with members from various Punk,Death Metal
and Dirty Rock┤n┤roll bands. With four albums on White Jazz Records/Sweden
and 3 highly acclaimed albums on the new label Silverdust
Records/Germany,some split 7ö,7ö and split 10ö released on various
recordlabels in Europe and with countless tours and more festivals than
you could think of in Scandinavia and Europe the band has with their
Dirty, Raw,Loud,Full Power,Fast,Melodic,damned good drinking songs and a
No Tomorrow attitude...... become a well known and respected band among
the European rock crowd..
With their first two albums ôWe Are Just Welcome As Holy Water In SatanÆs
Drinkö and ôBursting Out Of ChuckyÆs Townö ...and the 3rd half studio,
half live album ôOriginal Scandinavian Superdudesö, PSYCHOPUNCH already
managed to amaze press and fans alike. You cannot draw away your attention
from ear candies like "Down In Flames", "Straightjacket Hell", "Goin'
Crazy", "Who's Fucking Who" and öMake Up Your Mindö etc. Raving reviews
world wide were nothing but logical.
ôThe Pleasure Killö (2002) became an early high in the bandÆs career,
cementing the bandÆs status and preparing the scenario for things to come.
Sleazy rockers like "Back In The Days", "Inhale" or the unique
"Apocalypso" have grown to become true classics of the punk rock scene.
After further touring and appearances at major festivals like Wacken (2003
and 2008),Summer Breeze (2003,2004,2006 and 2009)and WFF (2008),
PSYCHOPUNCH entered the legendary Sunlight studios again to lay down their
highly acclaimed fifth album ôSmashed On Arrivalö(2004) on Silverdust
Records. With songs like ôDying in your dreamö, öAll over nowö and
ôFingerlickinÆ goodö the band once again proved that they are here to
stay.
With their album ôKamikaze Love Reducerö(2006), PSYCHOPUNCH once again
showed what this music is about, firing 10 shots of punk rockÆnÆroll
straight into the brain û addiction is guaranteed, courtesy of those
exceptional melodies and catchy choruses that are the bandÆs trademark. It
seems to be unbelievably easy for PSYCHOPUNCH to deliver hit after hit,
quickly captivating the unsuspecting listener. Songs like Overrated,Poison
alley groove,On the stereo,The black river song,When this world is dying
and Everlasting has become almost permanent songs in the liveset!
The boys celebrated their 10th anniversary impressively by releasing their
7th album "Moonlight City".The ôMoonlight cityö(2008) album once again
combined PSYCHOPUNCH's trademarks:riffs with class, attitude and melodies
you can't escape. The band developed consequently and ended up in a varied
record full of diverse moods and emotions. In your face still, but the
sophisticated way. The result surely deserves to be heard, with hit after
hit pouring down on the listener.
On their eighth album na¡med äDeath By Misadventureô, the boys redefine
themselves. No, they haven┤t left the familiar terrain of snotty rock
hymns. But they allow more to happen this time, theyÆve grown and you can
really hear it in the songs.
The forerunner records ôMoonlight Cityö and ôKamikaze Love Reducerö
already gave an idea of this development. Two line up changes certainly
did conduce to this as well. Increased record sales and the crowdÆs
reaction at the live shows prove that the fans are willing to follow that
road.
Eight long play albums, just as many 7-inches and two 10-inch EPs, is what
they can look back upon and their first musical home, legendary White Jazz
Records, they really helped to be successful.
Their fourth record for SiLVERDUST records is once again made with
quality. Driving guitars and melodies keep munching their way into your
brain, all being held together by JMÆs unique voice which is a perfect
frame. 18 songs of which each and every one has got what it takes to be a
good rock song. All that comes along on a double CD which will be released
with a limited first edition and as a double vinyl incl. a bonus track.
Band mate and regular producer Pelle Saether has once again done a
brilliant job in the studio Underground in Vasteras/Sweden. The
characteristic style of the cover artworks has been kept and created by
the excellent Timo Wuerz.
Punk Rock, PunkÆnÆRoll, snotty rock, no matter what you want to call it,
it remains PSYCHOPUNCH. And ôDeath By Misadventureö once more show their
paces and prove they never run out of good ideas. One less anxiety about
the future!
This is Scandinavian rock at its best!
