Von Gam: 1 Gen Punk 12″

Description

At last its here,,, the Von Gams LP the first punkband from Vaxj, did a fantastic 7 record back in 79, that they recorded in Klippan with Pl Spectrum, yes the two songs are on the LP.

And 9 more songs. They did also a gret EP on slyngel records some years ago these songs are not here,,, so all I can say this is a very nice record with lots of cool music and sounds from 1979-1981,,, and many hits,, I LOVE it,,,

Our take: Dont be fooled by the graffiti logo on the cover this isnt a Cold World side project, but rather some vintage 70s Swedish punk. Von Gam releaseda two-song single in 1980 (thatll set you back $200-300 if youre lucky enough to find one) and a (presumably) even rarer cassette in 1981, and from what I can tell from the not-very-Anglophone-friendly packaging this LP collects the single, a few of the songs from the cassette, and some other assorted tracks. Its easy to see why the single goes for so much money, because Von Gam play great 70s European punk with a distinctly rock and roll flavor fans of the Kids, Lost Kids, and Rude Kids (hell, maybe there are even some similar bands out there thatdon’thave the word kids in their name!) will eat this up, as will fans of more modern bands in this vein like Finlands Achtungs or Swedens Baddat for Trubbel. Von Gam dabble in some other sounds too theres some ska on this LPs deeper tracks and more mid-paced, Clash-inspired songs, but the best songs here are absolute scorchers that willblow the wig off of anyone who has more than a few plays on their collection ofKilled by Deathcompilations.
