Körsbärsfettera - Alla ska ha linne
(self-released)

I wish I could put the finger on why I like this album so much. Not being a big fan of oi! or this type of street punk normally, I'm quite baffled by how I, in the past four months, have been addicted to this self-released album of Swedish street punk sung in Swedish. Is it due to the catchy melodies? Is it because the lyrics about the working class life and getting drunk (+ other punk clichés)? It could also be all the oooh and aaah choirs. Either way, it's an excellent little album (it clocks in under thirty minutes!) with lots of attitude and charming melodies and lyrics. It might not be original, but it's utterly engrossing nevertheless, and one of my favourite albums of the year. I'd even go so far as to say it's one of the best Swedish punk albums in the past 10 years.
