Hi, thanx for dropping by! I'm T.B and I'm one of the singers in Uncurbed. I shall here do a short version about myself so far in life. The Punk rock crushed into my soul right from the beginning of 1977. Sex Pistols "Anarchy In The U.K." and "God Save The Queen" entered my life. The kick was a fact, all Kizz albums was thrown out of the window. Shit! I throw it all away... The stereo was on with "Never Mind The Bollocks"... Ahhh... it was lovely. The punk exploded from nowhere. UK Subs entered the record shops with another kind of blues. Oh shit, it was so great! UK Subs did it more punk, Sham 69 come along, The Ruts, Rezillos, SLF with Imflammable Material - punk records everywhere, I can't mention them all... I was only 10 years old, but what the fuck, I knew it was my life I was listening to. I said to myself: - I'm gonna have my own band and I will show the world who the fuck I am! At the end of 70 all the bands seemed to disappear... Fuck, was it over!!?? But I were wrong, the 80's begun with a bang. 1980, a new brutal punk came along. I heard Discharge for the first time, it truly crashed my soul. It was a sacred moment to hear that raw sound on the stereo... all the Sex Pistols records was thrown out of the window and the Discharge singels on... and Punk exploded again in a new way. It was totally fucked up. I had to get a pack of beer. At this time I was being 14 years old. Punk was a fact, I coloured my hair in red and my parents was in shock, but what the fuck... Discharge, Varukers, Disorder, Chaos UK... and then came Crass along to the stereo, and of course Amebix... I took the microphone for the first time this year of 1981 with the creation of ASOCIAL! It was a very chaotic moment, but we got along and the punk was on... A own band!! We did a demo with some songs... real classic bastards, and the party totally begun, Discharge on the stereo, beer in my stomach, cigarettes in my mouth, fuck I'm punk! We fixed a war bunker in our school and we took it to rehearse in. We also arranged gigs in the brutal years of 1983-1985! Then we where thrown out, for all the parties we've had! :-((( We recorded a split-tape when we played real fucking fast raw punk/hardcore with our Swedish friends in "Bedrövlerz" called "How Could Hardcore Be Any Worse?" Asocial was named in M.R.R. the fastest band in the world!! :-) The year of 1984 we recorded our first EP called "Det Bittra Slutet" It's now a real classic one with "Revolt". It was chaos at the time, drinking lots of alcohol, smoking, sniffing glue etc... The studio recording was also chaotic. We had party every day before we enter the studio! Then we released "Det Bittra Slutet" by ourselves 'cause no other fucker should take the profit from us! We payed the studio and the press by ourselves and started Dis-records 001!! After the release we got some problems, the drummer in the band didn't like our attitude and the bass player got kicked and we fixed a new member. At that time it must have been 1985 and we had new songs for the upcoming single, but they was never recorded! It was songs like: "Glöm Era Planer" and "Sjukt System". Instead we changed members in the band. Only the guitarist and me was left. We did new songs and they became the "Religion Sucks" EP. We played a lot in Stockholm under these years. Of course at the classical "Ultra huset", and it was so fucking great! ASOCIAL was a name in the Swedish punkscene along with Anti-Cimex, Avskum and all the other great bands. 1987 we did our last recording. At this time, everything was getting out of hand. The last recording is strange, a new style, not punk the way it should be... Too many drugs in my head the band just vanished away. I had too take control of my life. An alcoholic boy at the age of 18 years. So it came a girl along that I meet, and she helped me out of the chaos... So the years went by and Asocial was put together again after a few years of rest for some comeback shit! We recorded a Discharge cover but it was not so great. We did a fucking single called "House Of Gore" but what the fuck... It was the lowest fucking shit you can make. Some kind of death/punk metal, fucking psychotic. I almost had to lay myself in the cemetary. So don't buy it! We struggled on and it was me and the guitarist that tried to get the band going, but he was much more into metal at this time and we borrowed friends from the band Uncurbed! That was my meeting with these guys for real! We recorded 4 songs with Asocial in Unisound for the Comp CD "Distortion To Hell", were we played Discharge styled punk but to lame and not so brutal! The magic wasn't there... After that we continued but the magic never came along! So we just played some strange shit. Everything went to be that... Some time 1994, I jumped over to the band UNCURBED, a very good jump by me...:-)) We recorded the "Nightmare In Daylight" CD, and fuck, this was more punk! But it could be more... and more... and moooore! I sold my soul to punk rock'n'roll again. My life was shining again... So at the year of 1996 we recorded the "Punk And Anger" CD, and it was more punk, more brutal. I had found a place in the band after the first recording. I began to know the guys in Uncurbed, so everything was much greater. A fucking classical party in the studio and it was a fact. There was a German tour after the release. Shit!! it nearly killed my liver! And the same year '96, we put together ASOCIAL again in a real renuion! It was the original members except the drummer who went to be Jonken from Uncurbed of course... This time we only played songs from the 80's... We played for a friend at his 30 years anniversery, and we also played at Bollnäs punken!! At this time we also created new stuff for Uncurbed! We found freedom on the road, and the work of "Peace.Love.Punk.Life" (one of the greatest punk albums so far!) took place in our hearts... So now I'm here 33 years old and on the way to create a new album... Waiting for the release of "Keeps The Banner High" said to be now in March! The banner of peace... I'm still living and I will continue to do that. I shall continue to bring you punk as long as I live! I Still Walks On With My Broken Shoes - But I Walk For My Freedom!!! Cheers, and have a peaceful life on the way to the grave! Fly free... With love from /TB - 1999 |
