This Swedish hardcore band has never spoken to me even though they had a long career. That is until I saw them at the Getaway Rock Festival i Gävle in 2012! What a totally wild, crazy and tremendous show that was, although it was on a big un-intimate stage, and I got me a new favourite band in just a few songs time! The absolute power, aggression and of course live-sound of the 2000's made me want to jump into the moshpit and let all aggressions go. But hey, I'm 41 years old, stop it!
But damn it, I want to jump like some crazy idiot when I hear this record because it crushes from beginning to end and most importantly, there are some really good songs on it. Those who know say that they have returned to their roots with this album, that they have abonded their more metallic influences they have had on their previous albums. I'm glad. Buy it.
Raised Fist was formed in the industrial city of Luleå in northern Sweden in 1993 and this is their 5th album and the last album was released in 2006.

8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...
