ASOCIAL / THE BEDROVLERS "How Could Hardcore Be Any Worse? Vol 1" LP

FINALLY!!! A legit reissue of this split cassette! Essential Swedish Hardcore!!!!

Euro import. Black vinyl LP in heavy board jacket.

A reissue of Asocial and The Bedrövlers' How Could Hardcore Be Any Worse? Vol. I, originally released in 1984. The Swedish hardcore punk scene of the early 1980s was vibrant and wide, with underground movements yielding surprising extremities. This ultra-scarce cassette-only release, limited to 300 copies in 1984, was the first of the legendary Uproar label. The release pitted the blast-beat proto-grindcore of Asocial, from the small town of Hedemora, against the classical thrash of Bedrövlers, from the equally small town of Fagersta, whose name roughly translates to Miserablerz, a term assigned them by a bus driver that disliked their discordant noise. Subverting Bad Religion's How Could Hell Be Any Worse for their own purposes, Asocial's tracks are blindingly fast and Bedrövlers' down and dirty-rare Swedish hardcore, at its best.
