\"\"<\/a>In the mid to late 90\u2019s it seemed that bands in Scandinavia\u00a0<\/span>had sold their collective souls at the Cross Roads\u00a0<\/span>found at the<\/span>\u00a0Three-Country Cairn<\/span>, where each\u00a0<\/span>member<\/span>\u00a0was given the complete discography of the Nomads, The Stooges and the MC5<\/span>\u00a0and told to<\/span>\u00a0go away and<\/span>\u00a0learn them<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Paving the\u00a0<\/span>road<\/span>\u00a0were the three\u00a0<\/span>horsemen<\/span>\u00a0of the apocalypse; The Hellacopters, Gluecifer and the Flaming Sideburns<\/span>. Following on\u00a0<\/span>in their wake\u00a0<\/span>were the just as important and influential second wave, never quite making it to the Arenas but packing out clubs across their home Countries, Europe and even as far afield as\u00a0<\/span>North America<\/span>. One such band was the \u201cDEMONS\u201d<\/span>. Strangely enough, the States, notably the Pacific Northwest<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0embraced the\u00a0<\/span>Scandinavian Invasion and for a while, \u201cDEMONS\u201d were the<\/span>\u00a0uncrowned<\/span>\u00a0Kings of it. <\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate the band\u2019s 25<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0Anniversary a live\u00a0<\/span>album called \u201cNo Loitering\u201d that was recorded<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>between the<\/span>ir<\/span>\u00a0second\u00a0<\/span>album<\/span>\u00a0\u201cStockholm Slump\u201d and third \u201cDemonology\u201d on the 5<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0March 2004 at The Crocodile Cafe in Seattle<\/span>\u00a0is being released via\u00a0<\/span>Vitriola<\/span>\u00a0Recordings<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The press release says that \u201cIt by no means is pretty\u201d, I\u2019m not even sure if this is off the Soundboard or a very well recorded audience recording but it\u2019s what we want<\/span>, no scrub that, it\u2019s what we need<\/span>; f<\/span>ast, sweaty and furious<\/span>\u00a0without any<\/span>\u00a0compromise<\/span>s<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>The original classic four piece line-up<\/span>\u00a0k<\/span>icking\u00a0<\/span>an eleven song set off with<\/span>\u00a0\u201cU<\/span>ndertaker’s\u00a0<\/span>L<\/span>ament<\/span>\u201d from the aforementioned \u201cStockholm Slump\u201d but before you have time to register that fact the band are already ripping through \u201cDevil In Me\u201d but it\u2019s not all past glories as the band road test\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>as yet unreleased \u201cLost Dog\u201d<\/span>\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0\u201cWhat\u2019s This Shit Called Love\u201d,<\/span>\u00a0that\u00a0<\/span>both\u00a0<\/span>sit perfectly well<\/span>\u00a0in the set.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The gig is the perfect length<\/span>\u00a0for us old school TDK 90<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>merchants<\/span>\u00a0coming in at just under 40 minutes<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Back in the day if I\u00a0<\/span>did\u00a0have this on a cassette on the other side would be the Ramones \u201c<\/span>It\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0Alive\u201d<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0The only gripe I have is no \u201cElectrocute\u201d. Over here in Dear\u00a0<\/span>olde<\/span>\u00a0Blighty gigs still seem a long way off. This is why \u201cNo Loitering\u201d<\/span>\u00a0is so important;<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>n<\/span>ot only is it a band firing on all cylinders but it is a reminder of how good live gigs are<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
