October 2013

 Last weekend and during the week we've been recording five songs in Wolfdenstudio (Jocke). We're hoping to release an EP soon. Our plan is to record more songs and release a full-length album next year (we need time and money!)
Yesterday we were rehearsing for the fat four on tour-gig @Bunker Bar in Stockholm (Jameson, Folkungagatan) the 25th of October (together with Headons, Suicide Syndicate and Smash it up) Elin had her kids with her, and they were happy to try out the drums.

Things feel quite sad and weird at the moment, a friend of ours past away a couple of weeks ago, and last weekend when we were going to record some songs, we were all a little bit down and low.. so the songs are a little bit dark maybe (?) Anyway, we have a busy week coming, on Wednesday it is time to take leave of our friend :( always in our heart..

..more The Fat Four On Tour..

Looking forward this weekend in Helsingborg @ Tivoli 27th of September, and Halmstad @ Kajskjulet on the 28th.

Booked:

Sthlm 25th of October, @ Bunker Bar (Jameson)

Gothenburg 22th of November @ Sticky Fingers..


Yeay!!

Påsken lovar att försöka spela qotsa's nya non-stop och skägget lovar att försöka lägga band på hen. Det är även påskens sista semesterdag så står hen gråtandes bakom skivspelarna medans Type 0 Negatives "Summerbreeze" går varm: pay no mind.

Grunge love!
Skägget och Påsken ♥

Breaking: Spotlicks just got added to the bill!"

Tuesday 30th of April: We arrived at Gatwick 30th of April, "valborgsmässoafton" in Sweden, everyone is out drinking alcohol by a bonfire. But we were walking around in London trying to find an Internet café where we could find information about rental cars. We finally decided to go back to Gatwick on Wednesday to get a car from there. The rest of the evening was spent at the hostel.

Schizo punk compilation vol. 1

http://ungovernableresistancediyradio.blogspot.se/2013/06/schizo-distro-fanzine-schizo-punk.html

"Spotlicks - Apati (2:05)
Spot Licks - I remember hearing Spot Licks a few years ago & didn't really dig their music. Since then they have grown & this is a different sound to what I remember. They now remind me of Sju Svara Ar & Burning Kitchen as the vocals from the female singer follow the same style as those bands. Its a nice track so check them out."

Felsök

Spotlicks - Felsök (2010)

Ibland letar man fel, ser inte det bra
Gräset är grönare, vad håller mig kvar
Hundra frågor nu, men ger inga svar
Drömmen tog slut och luften blev kvav

Felsök, felsök, plågsamma felsök

Felanmäler livet, blir ej som jag vill
Ibland går det framåt, bakåt, men står oftast still
Rastlös i kroppen, något är fel
Söker något bättre som kan göra mig hel

Spotlicks - Debug (2010)

Sometimes one looks for what's wrong, doesn't look for what's good

The grass is greener, what keeps me left

One hundred questions now, but gives no response

The dream came to an end and the air turned sultry

Debug, debug, torturous debug

Reporting a life, not that I want to

Sometimes it goes forward, backward, but are usually still

Restless in the body, something is wrong

Looking for something better which can make me whole

Fatta att du duger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_n6mSbK-CA

Spotlicks - Fatta att du duger (2010)

Spelar ingen roll vem du är

Idioterna väljer vem-som-helst

Känslan av att inte passa in

Du är 14 och vill dö

Outsider i stan

Men du måste härda ut

Blir det inte bättre än så här?

Känns som livet ska ta slut. 

Fatta, fatta att du duger, 

du duger, duger som du är 

Förtryckarkulturer, med sina Queen-Bees

Du fattar ju spelet 

Är inte dum på något vis

Men om de väljer dig

Livet blir svårt

Alltid stressen av att jagas

Hållas fast och sparkas hårt

Spotlicks-believe you will do (2010)

Doesn't matter who you are

The idiots choose who-which-preferably

The feeling of not fitting in

You are 14 and wants to die

Outsider in town

But you have to endure

It doesn't get any better than this?

Feels like life should end.

 

Take, take that you will do,

you will do, will do as you are

Oppressive cultures, with their Queen-Bees

You make the game

Is not stupid in any way

But if they choose you

Life becomes difficult

Always stress of hunted

Be restrained and kicked hard

Youtube2

We will link to songs on youtube and write down the lyrics in swedish, maybe in english too.

Spotlicks - Sitter i skiten (2010)

Du spelar dina falska spel

borde insett att något var fel

Andra vill ha dig, de säger aldrig nej

Men du ska veta att jag ångrar mig

Jag ångrar mig, fy fan vad jag ångrar mig

Sitter i skiten tänker inte slås ned

Hatet inifrån växer mer och mer

Andra vill ha dig, ser ej ditt rätta jag

Nånstans, nångång ska du  visa dig svag

Jag ångrar mig, fy fan vad jag ångrar mig  

Translation from Bing:

 

You play your fake games

should have realized that something was wrong

Others want you, they never say no

But you should know that I change my mind

I change my mind, damn what I change my mind

Sitting in hell will not be turned down

The hate from the inside is growing more and more

Others want you, not your right I see

Somewhere, sometime, you'll show you weak

I change my mind, damn what I change my mind
