garage days revisited:

Killer compilation from Uppers Records documenting some of Sweden's garage rock bands during the 80's. From the liner notes:

Towards the mid-eighties music and styles changed on the Swedish pop-scene. Instead of just drawing inspiration from the new wave of British pop, bands started to get more influence by older stuff, like US garage, punk, nederbeat, R&B and psychedelic music. This obviously also meant a change of style in clothing and haircuts; from Caezar (sic) haircuts to long moptops, from bowling shoes to chelsea boots, from Rickenbacker to fuzz and distortion. This is the transition from power pop to garage. Arrghh!!!
