ARBOGA TEENAGE RIOT Ugly Crew Demos (Daft Alliance) cd 7.98
Once again, we can just tell when a record is going to be a hit here. Something intangible that tells us that everyone is going
to absolutely love (or absolutely hate but still need to own) this record. We felt it about the Conet Project. Hatebeak. Daddy's
Curses. The Thai Elephant Orchestra. And now Arboga Teenage Riot.
The story goes like this. Our pal Nathan was on tour in Europe and while travelling through Sweden, two young ladies
handed him a tape. The tape sat in the bottom of his bag, unlistened to for months. On his return to the states he
remembered the tape, put it in the stereo, pushed play and had his mind promptly blown. And we'll have to admit we feel
exactly the same way. Imagine ultra lo-fi, high energy techno / gabber, all four on the floor beats and cheesy synths, whistles
and those kinds of melodies usually reserved for cheerleading competitions. "You All Ready For this?!?!" DONK DONK
DONK DONK DONK DONK DONK! You know of what we speak. So now imagine two teenage girls, sometimes making up
Swedish lyrics and chanting them in cute sing-songy harmonies, but more often, just screaming and growling hysterically in their best aproximation of black metal vocals, sounding like they were just dubbed over the music on a boombox (which they probably were). This is the real digital hard core! Or more accurately ANALOG HARD CORE!!! If Alec Empire had any balls Arboga Teenage Riot would be the next DHR superstars. ATR take techno and black metal and riot grrl and DIY recording and turn it into a totally bizarre, fascinating, fun and funny masterpiece! The cover is pretty sharp too, a huge swamp beast thing emerging from the water, beneath a hot pink totally illegible Arboga Teenage Riot black metal style logo! Fuck yeah!
