Description

Here´s the re-release the Bristles “Ban The Punkshops” tape (from 1983). This album has never been on vinyl before, so the sixteen songs got remastered in autumn 2020 and Robin Wiberg, Sweden did some sweet new artwork for the front cover. Finally over thirty-seven years later this classic swedish Punk release sees the light of day again !!!

THE BRISTLES on this album are different to the typical swedish Crust, Hardcore bands of these days: MOB 47, DISARM, MODERAT LIKVIDATION, ANTI-CIMEX played raw, fierce D-Beat, Hardcore but THE BRISTLES are more on the Punk, OI! (only in their early days) side. On “Ban The Punkshops” you can listen to sixteen catchy but powerful, sometimes faster Punk tunes. Tracks like “Ban The Punkshops”, “Give Peace A Chance”, “Fuck The Nazis”, “Black And White Unite”, … perfectly show that THE BRISTLES were and still are a political Punk band. 

The first edition of this album was released in the year 1983 as cassette only on the swedish label ÄGG TAPES & RECORDS.

This is the Die Hard Edition on White / Black Pinwheel Effect vinyl limited to 100 copies
