KVOTERINGEN – Sämhallets Förrädare LP

This time it’s Kvoteringen from Sweden, who bust out 14 tracks of blistering, Swedish-style punk in the Discharge tradition (think Meanwhile). The rhythm section in this band is locked in as f***, occasionally delving in something a little more complex and punchy than straightforward d-beat hardcore, and the lead guitarist is great… rather than going for the anarchic, blitzkrieg-of-notes style pioneered by Bones, he has a more melodic, metallic style that recalls sombre Swedish and Norweigan metal. Killer punk s***s here.
