I'd think the Marshall (Lemmy) tasted his Jack Daniels as daily, and he took his crew and said that “come on guys we’re recording a Crust album!” however he included Poffen (Totalitar) for vocals, and they entered the studio suddenly. You can think what this guy is telling us. But the extremely rock’n’roll/crust dose of Skitkids causes this thought. With the great dose of adrenaline and hatred, you’ll be offered by a razor-sharp, fast, loud, funny record which is the combination of rock and roll, crustcore d-beat, thrash metal these guys performed. The vocals are reminiscent of Swedish hardcore legends Totalitar with old-styled angry screams and screeches. Great toned drum makes d-beat assault, it has powerful sound, the bass is groaning, melodic rock’n’roll leads and Fast Eddie-like guitar solos cause to lose yourself. The lyrics are based to socio-political issues with sarcastic expressions, the routine life of society, banal ideas, or criticize the punk stars of today. Classic Swedish D-Beat/Hardcore 's rock'n'roll excellence is in your blood with a high dose. Motorhead, AC/DC structured rock’n’roll solos in "Weekday Suger Rov" (like listening to Ace Of Spades) is cool, and tracks such as "Viist E Jag Lycklig", "Svinahunden" bomb you with Totalitar d-beats. Skitkids make noise for you, this is one of the best crust/rock 'n'roll records in recent years.

Wilke contacted me on .shit.face.book. a while ago and told me about the band, i've never heard about them before but i really liked what i heard and am glad that he contacted me. Here's his description of the band and the download link he provided:

For there is the world cup final game between netherlands and spain tonight, i decided to post a dutch and a spanish band tonight. and whoever becomes the world champion gets to kick your ass more than before, whatever. and one more thing for the fellow americans, it is called football, not soccer.

I came across to this band on Giora's FTP blog a few weeks ago. It's a great blog full of israeli hc punk, crust, grind, powerviolence, thrash, punk rock stuff, you can find almost any band from israel in there. Now done with the advertisement.

Obstructed is a raw and noisy crust band from Oulu / Finland. They are formed in '06, have released this demo cd-r in '07. Their music is 100 % improvisation. The explain that by: "The idea of playing improvised crust we got from the crappy bands, which made us think if it's possible to create better songs than they have just by playing whatever riffs comes first in mind, shouting whatever comes to our mind. So we tried and got some stuff recorded. And it was hell of a fun!" The demo is released on Attack To Society Distro, i believe there are still some copies and you can get for a nice price.

Incredibly fast and noisy female fronted crasher crust from Osaka / Japan. Ex-members of Nationstate, Ferocious X, Devastated are in the band. They've recorded their first demo in '08 and they've released this ep in '10. The songs are mostly the same ones in the demo, but re-recorded. Some people call them "Frigöra with female vocals" and i say they have a point.

M:40 is a crust band from Lidköping / Sweden, formed in '02. Their music is dark, depressive, rageful and melodic (sometimes) just like their citizens Skitsystem, Victims, From Ashes Rise, Totalt Jävla Mörker, Wolfbrigade, etc. This 7" is released in '08 by Halvfabrikat Records. So if you like this wave of swedish crust, just grab it.

This is a d-beat crust band from California / USA, formed in '99. Influenced by bands like Discharge, Joy Division, Anti-Cimex, Wolfpack, Disclose, Black Sabbath, Motörhead. You can notice the dark and depressive side of their music but not in a melodic way. The sound is just straight to your face. This 7" is released by After The Bombs Records, on 2002. The booklet includes a good and informing interview of the band.

Arrebato is a hardcore punk / crust band from Argentina. Arrebato means "sudden punch in the face" in spanish slang. They're formed in '06 in Moron (yeah, a great name for a city) / Argentina. This EP is released in '09 and uploaded by the band's drummer Nicholas, thanks a lot to him by the way. Too bad they have split up now. Great blend of melodies and aggresiveness. The booklet is included in the folder and the lyrics are translated to english by Nicholas (the drummer of the band, in case you forgot). This is something you should definitely check out.

Infekcja is an anarcho crust band from Poland. Formed in '91 under the name Krwawa Uryna Jana Pawla II (Bloody Urine Pope John Paul II) and quickly changed that awful name. Recorded their 1st demo in '94 and released too many records till then. And one important thing about the band: they don't give interviews. Influenced by bands like; Rattus, Dropdead, Hiatus, Homomilitia, Amebix, Doom, Nausea, G-ANX, they mostly sing about personal struggles in that 7".

I consider this tape as one of the most important compilations ever made in Swedish scene. Being released in '85 and includin' bands like Mob 47, The Bristles, Trojne, Sound Of Disaster, Agoni, Total Egon, etc makes it the perfect milestone. Don't think much, if you are into any kind of swedish hc punk, you must listen to that.

Result is a band from Japan. They are formed by Takeshi (who used to sing in C.F.D.L. before that and sung in several bands like Filth Chain, Bacteria.) And the other members of the band played in Muga when Result split up. There aren't much info about them on the internet actually. If you know something you can share, leave a comment and inform me. In this 7" they play ripper crust but their later releases are a bit melodic but not like the boring melodic crust crap. They are great too, i'm going to post their self titled LP soon too. For now deal with that.

This split is called "Barley Army split" and released especially for the Apocalyptic Crust Fest II, released both as a CD and an LP. Both bands have 10 songs here, and the whole record is about 40 minutes. Atomvinter hail from gothenburg / sweden and they haven't been around for a long time. They play quite unique crust with strong political lyrics. Riotous are from chicago / usa. They play metallic d-beat crust. The CD is printed to 300 copies and it's sold out, i'm not sure about the LP though.

Ciudad Del Kaos is a furious crust band from Santiago / Chile. They're formed in '04, released their first demo in '05. This record is released in '07 and it's their latest material. The music is quite powerful, especially the drummer does a great work with cymbals at the 3rd song Mentira, and the 8th song Sabotaje Grafico is pretty raging too. There are some thrash metal moments in the record too.

They've released one demo and two EP's if i'm not mistaken. I'm going to post their first demo here. There are 4 songs and it's about 6 minutes long. Their music reminds me of the italian legends Raw Power. Their other influences are; Discharge, Anti-Cimex, Wolfpack, Victims, Ratos De Porao, etc.

Bombstrike is a metallic d-beat crust band from Stockholm / Sweden. They're formed in '97 and released several demos, and records. This EP is released in '07. There are 4 songs and it's less than 8 minutes. One of the songs is a cover by the death/crust band Oral. The sound quality is pretty good, neither polished nor sucky, it's just the way it should be. Some people think Bombstrike is better than Skitsystem in that "metallic d-beat crust" thing, i think they both are great. Especially the riffs in the 2nd song Kvasiorkor, are truly amazing.
