With members already well established in the Swedish music scene Hets! is now set to release their debut album. Hets! arrives in a time when some fresh punk music is longed for, in a time when radio and television is stuck in their commercial pattern of pumping out more junk than ever.Hets! was founded in January this year. They recorded and wrote the songs for the whole album the same month, and the outcome is brilliant. It’s not a perfect recording, some things are sloppy and raw, and because of that the authentic feeling increases along with their credibility. Markus Krunegård uses his voice like KSMB and EBBA GRÖN together, it’s just so old and done but yet so very refreshing. Some of the lyrics are really funny and smart at the same time. The story is that Markus wrote them all during a visit at his parent’s house since he was so bored.
11 songs with a great blend of the 70's raw punk combined with direct melodies and the steady beats of the new wave era. It’s like a look in the review mirror what the Swedish punk scene was like back in the days.
Per Nordmark, the drummer of Fireside, Christoffer Roth from Monster, Doktor Kosmos' own Henrik Svensson and Markus Krunegård who also sing in Laakso, have surely made the best Swedish punk record of the whole 2006. I find this one very hard to compete with.
