CRUDE S.S.- Who’ll survive 7″EP (Uproar Records, Sweden, 198somewhen)
Okay, Peter had three posts in a row today and I shall have two. All fuck ups that might appear in here are due to a bottle of fine white Bordeau I just had, so don’t blame me! “Under your influence, wrong goes right!”
Peter hates CRUDE S.S. and as funny as it might sound – I know why, although I still like this 7″. I used to be madly in love with it, but my feelings have cooled down in the meantime. It’s a dark, melodramatic and kinda brutal record, sounding like a cross between Hellhammer and Discharge. Maybe the best CRUDE S.S. ever recorded were the three tracks on “The Vikings are coming” comp. LP, but still, this touches me in a way. When the guy sings “We can destroy the earth ten times” and you’re supposed to be realy upset and worried, I always felt very good about those nuclear things. Hahaha. Good memories: When I had quit a job once, I drove home on my moped. That was in 1986. On the walkman, I had CRUDE S.S. blasting. At the job, I had thrown some stuff through the closed windows, telling the boss to fuck off – this seemed perfectly underlined with CRUDE S.S. At home, my father tried to hit me, but I hit him first and that was the last time he tried.
The photo you see here shows me ca. 1991. It was taken in Leipzig, Eastern Germany, short time after the wall had fallen. FEAR OF GOD were supposed to play a gig there, but the other guys decided not to show up, so in the day of the gig, I formed an ad-hoc band with Seth of ANAL CUNT drumming and some guys of FEEDBACK RECYCLING on guitars and bass. It was HORRIBLE but after (or before?) the gig I received a hectic blowjob [none of your business] from a girl with a mohawk and quite a bit of money from the promoters. Damn, I looked better when I still had a regular sex life. Or did I have a regular sex life cause I looked better? It’s getting very philosophical here! And when I had a CRUDE S.S. shirt. If you would like to have intercourse with me, please drop me a line. I’m easy to get when I’m drunk.
Folks in Sweden: When was this recorded and released? I don’t believe it came out in 1983, as you normally see. I think it came out in either 85 or 86. When was it recorded? I still have some photos of the band lying around somewhere from when I interviewed the guitarist for my fanzine in 1985 or so. Might add them when I’m able to look for them again. Enjoy fuckers. Enjoy. This goes out to Peter who now absolutely loves CRUDE S.S. haha.

You’re VERY cute and sexy here I admit. But shit! Take a look at that sweet home boy in “snickarbyxor”/overall/bib-and-brace standing just to the right in the picture. Either he is the so called “mohawk” girl in your story or that is my long lost boyfriend.
And now I totally love Crude S.S.(S.S. stands for Stinking Socks in case all you non-swedes wondered).

I listen to The Vikings awhile ago and it was just as terrible as I remember it. Fagersta was a good place to see gigs but the bands from there were pretty bad, Happy Farm excluded.
Girls don´t have mohawks, anly Wattie-wannabes have mohawks.

You guys are giving me second thoughts about what happened to me in 1991. This explains a lot of things, actually.

I like Crude SS. I had the L$F discography though.
And who gives a shit about blowjobs? Punx get too hung up on “sexuality”. Publically admitting to a blowjob once a year doesn’t make you sexist.
I’ve got a video of that gig Erich…I thought the guys pulled it off very well.

Erich, funny how you should mention quitting a job & then being attacked by your father. Back in early ‘88 I quit two jobs as I thought it was cutting back on my hardcore-listening time (ha, ha) & with the second one, my mother tried to stab me with a knife!!! Heavy times, but I don’t regret a thing, much like Edith Piaf. Both my parents are dead now, so who had the last laugh?! And no, I didn’t kill them before you ask!
As for Crude SS, I thought they were Ok. I have this 7″ but it’s not a Swedish classic. The best stuff of theirs for me were the tracks from the “Cleanse The Bacteria” LP.

Cheers Adamski – quite good to hear after all that I wasn’t the only with such experiences. Especially that you had quit your jobs to have more time for music. I think that’s a very noble thing for a young man to do. Best wishes from Surrick.
PS: My father tried to stab me too. He didn’t get me, so he trashed my room. After I had hit him in the face, he stopped attacking me and has become a rather nice bloke (compared to what he once was). While hitting kids ain’t nothing I could promote in terms of education, it surely seems to help when you have to re-educate your violent dad.

I like the drumming. It goes along with the music just PERFECT. The guitar is amazing. It sounds indeed like Tom Warrior plays it! And so dark & desperate sounding. Funny how this is Punk to you. To me, this is old Death Metal with short songs.

if i remember well some tracks from it were used by Genocide Association (http://www.shit-fi.com/Reviews/GenocideAssociation/GenocideAssociation.htm for those who don’t know them) in 1983 so how could it be from 1985?
i’m not sure about it
in Game Of The Arseholes #1 it says “Originally released by Uproar records in 1984 or so”
so the mystery still remain

I hope you’re joking that peter hated Crude SS because they were an awesome band. Yes, they were another offspring from Discharge but their terrorizing sound cannot be denied. I do believe Pushead approved this band as well and Pushead never had Raped Teenagers on any of his comps!!!

Seriously people, Eddie’s posts are right and I think that everyone should adopt his mindset that all hardcore punk bands after 1985 suck. It would sure give me a lot less competition when it comes to obtaining Ikka Shinjyuu and Lip Cream records. Please?

Hello!
The songs were recorded 83-84, 85 I moved to gothenburg and Crude didnt record any songs after that. Great reading, if we could inspire you to get thru troubled times the record did its deed. Like that your friend hated us. Mission acomplished
Cheers
Crude SS
