THIS IS OUR ENGLISH INFOMATION PAGE. WELCOME TO PUNKTJAFS SWEDISH PUNK 77 - 82


Punktjafs is a Swedish web-zine (In Swedish only). But for those who don´t understand our native language I will provide you with some usefull information. Most of the articles are digital reproductions of old fanzine material. But there are also quite a few original interviews / articles. My main goal is the time period between -77 and -82. Mainly because 1982 spawned the next "punkgeneration" in Sweden, the birth of Asta Kask and a much faster kind of punk rock, known in Swedish as rå-punk (raw-punk, hardcore, crust or whatever you like to call it nowdays). Anyway, doing pretty much everything myself I don´t have the time to translate things into english. I´m also a University student and a single parent so my sparetime is very limited. Well to tell you the truth there is no freetime at all.

But I will give you some hints how to navigate the site, without a Swedish dictionary. The menu far left is articles about bands A-Z. The top menues, which should be of most interest for you, includes a cd-review page (CD-tipset) and it consists of homemade CD-r´s, rare material only. And if you want to listen to some old swedish punk rock, just click on "MP3:or". Basically a MP3-archive filled with rare material (of course) from all kinds of different bands. It´s a free service from me and all the consisting bands. BUT I would like you to give us some comments on this service and on the music. So do use our guest book, just klick on the link marked: SÅ TYCK TILL OM ARKIVET OCH OM MUSIKEN RIS, ROS ELLER ÖNSKNINGAR, KLICKA HÄR !!!

Have fun and enjoy. And remember; All of those nasty swedish punk rock-band where a menace to society long before bands like The Hives and Hellacopters were spreading the gospel about PUNKRAWK. In that jurassic era the swedish "raggare" would kick the shit out of everyone who had short colored hair, and they (The raggare) attacked Iggy Pop, The Stranglers and The Jam with chains, broken bottles and bricks. So if you think it´s rebelious to be a punk nowdays.. well think again. But do stay PUNK !!! And keep the spirit and music alive (D.I.Y.)

Nag, nag.. I think I can manage myself, so get me to Punktjafs NOW !!!!
