It is finally here! It has been talk for years about a release from Göteborg punks Hata Katten. First it was supposed to be a vinyl EP, but before those plans was realized the band was put on hold when the drummer left the country for awhile. Then it was alot of technical issues with the recordings and I started to doubt that there would ever be a release.
But now it's here. It's not on vinyl and it's not a EP. Hata Katten has released an album with 16 intense tracks. In true punk spirit the songs are very short and the whole album clocks in on aprox 12 minutes!

So whats up with the extremly short songs? Kungälv city is only 33 sec long! And there is only a few songs that clocks in over 1 minute. Well there is actually alot going on during the short time that the song lasts, and why succombe to song-conventions if you don't have to.
Hata Katten plays straight forward punk in the tradition of early swedish punk. They mention bands like Liket lever, Terminalpatienten and Attentat as influences on their Facebook page. This is probably why I have a such soft spot for them; they remind me of the punk from the early 80's that I love. Favorite songs on the album are Apan, Kungälv City and Jag är äldst och vet mest.
