REGULATIONS: SWEDISH HARDCORE BAND TOUR AUSTRALIA

November 24th 2006 07:42

Look like punk band. Smell like punk band. Maybe you are Regulations.
Hardcore punk band Regulations hail from Umeå in the north of Sweden and they’re bringing their speedy tempos and catchy stripped-down songs to our shores in a few weeks. And when I say hardcore, I don’t mean metalcore or emocore or bloody applecore. I mean HARDCORE: the way that Black Flag, the Dead Kennedys, and your momma used to play it.

Umeå is known for its hardcore scene, most notably the band Refused. Regulations play it straighter and safer than Refused, but recruited that band’s Dennis Lyxén for production of their full-length debut Regulations (2005). It’s an album full of raw ‘n’ rowdy, singalong numbers with all the youthful exuberance that ageing punkers like Henry Rollins and Jerry Only just can’t seem to muster these days (probably because they’re old bastards).


Below is a live video of Regulations with appropriately aweful sound quality. I can't guarantee that the sound quality will be any better at the actual show, but punk rock isn't about sound quality; it's about freedom, man.


Regulations “Anna's Eyes” live.

I’ll hazard a guess and say that they’ll be playing tunes off this album as well as stuff from their highly collectible 7” releases. It’s sure to be a kickass show with a good ol’ fashioned circle pit and police cracking people’s skulls. It’ll be like 1980 all over again, except I’ll be twenty-six instead of a newborn baby.

The dates are:

Brisbane: 8 December; Jubilee Hotel
Sydney: 9 December; Sanderingham Hotel, Newtown
Adelaide: 14 December; Enigma
Melbourne: 16 December; Arthouse
