Note: this is an archived copy of Paul Routenburg's excellent Killed By Hype site which was previously located at http://plaza.powersurfr.com/paul/punk.html and http://ca.geocities.com/kbd77@rogers.com/punk.html. It contains a lot of great information about punk records so I decided to keep it alive here after the demise of GeoCities.

Punk Rock Norway

Only in the past couple years have a number of Norwegian records become more well known among punk collectors. As one might expect the price tags attached to them are sometimes more than the music might warrant. Recommended are Front Page (the 7" is great, they have some later ones that aren't so good), the 1st Kjott EP (fully available on KBD 77) (but their later releases are rather bad) and perhaps Pink Dirt are the only ones to merit the hype. In the "good but not worth a bundle" category are Akutt Innleggelse, Betong Hysteria, Borres Kork, Feber, Haerverk, Oslo Bors, Sot Haevn and Wannskraekk. Anal Babes and TRBNGR provide some good noisy and loud punk. Half of the Dignity of ... Is Unimpeachable LP is covers of old KBD-style punk obscurites like Freestone's "Bummer Bitch". The Sjokk Rock LP is a live collection, mostly OK but not as good as the price would imply. It's rare, but ... The Anarki & Chaos LP (also still available on CD?) is a collection of a few really good songs.
