8/10 Bernd Fischer - OX Fanzine
"Die Produktion ist sehr gut, erdig, rauh und „mean" aber keineswegs unterproduziert, sondern immer mit der richtigen Durchschlagskraft."

4/5 Anders Samuelsson - Musiklandet.se
"Högtalarna viker sig och det enda man kan tänka på är att höja lite till"

9/10 Jocke Nilsson - Bored to Death!
"Plattan är sjukt sexig, dansant och stenhård på en och samma gång. [...] Perfekt för att lära lillsyrran definitionen för bra skit"

4/5 David Stark - TT Spektra
"Men så spelar de också en musik som alltid går hem, alltid kommer igen, härligt skitig och taggig garagerock i sann Iggy-anda. Och de gör det med sann övertygelse."

It's a trap!
"The best rock'n'roll is almost always unadorned. It's hard to beat the sound of four dudes playing together in the same room, giving it their all and that's exactly what The Scrags sound like. Think: The Stooges, The Sonics or any other proto-punk band worth their salt. Aside from Australians Eddy Current Suppression Ring , I really can't think of any other current acts that can compete..."

4/5 Sebastian Zweiniger - Muzic.se
"Faktum är att jag är tveksam till om någon gjort det här bättre än The Scrags."

4/5 Anders Gustafsson - Dalarnas Tidningar
"Det är ju svårare än man kan tro att få till svängig musik med så enkla byggstenar och bättre byggmästare än The Scrags är svåra att hitta."

Mats Guldbrand - Dagens Skiva
"Vokalistens röst sitter som en smäck. Eller, hela bandet sitter som en smäck helt enkelt."

4/5 Erik Süss - Arbetarbladet
"100-procentig rock'n'roll, levererat från skrev och hjärta. [...]
gitarrspelet är gnissligt briljant, rytmsektionen både stabil och svängig."


7/10 Kristian Gustafsson - Denimzine
"Jag gillar the Scrags på många sätt: live är de fantastiska, de hittar på roliga grejer och de ramar in det snyggt. Tyvärr har de aldrig imponerat med sitt inspelade material. Fram tills nu."

6/10 Jonas Appelqvist - Dagens Skiva
"Låtarna bärs fram föredömligt av sångaren Antonio Fryk och hade man inte vetat bättre skulle man kunna tro att han hade kniven på strupen när denna skiva sattes på pränt, så pass bra sjunger han."

4/6 Peter Alzén - Gefle Dagblad
"Rockis Ivarsson producerar och fångar den frenesi som bandet förmedlar live."

Claes Olson - Musikindustrin
"en mördande stark enhet"


The CD is is recorded and mixed in large parts live by Christian Edgren at Traxton Recording (bob hund, Sci-Fi Skane, Olle Ljungström, the Hellacopters). The album is produced by punk/dub bassplayer Ulf"Rockis"Ivarsson (Thåström, Beat Under Control etc). It's a Digipack with a 16 page booklet. All lyrics is included together with tacky drawings of naked chicks and blurry photos of this and that.


LIVE ON SWEDISH TV SHOW EFTERSNACK



Rock'n'roll bastards the Scrags has since their formation in 2003 earned quite some live experience for a, at that time, yet unsigned act. They’ve played 7 shows in New York, 7 nights in London, the Hulstfred- and Arvika Festivals, as well as small towns as Gimo, Timrå, Hofors, Årjäng and god knows where. In October 2008 they did their first European Tour through Germany, Holland, France, Spain and Italy. In November 2008 they release their debut album. The Scrags are destined to spit on your stage, crash your party and shower you in hugs and kisses.

"Skamlöst underhållande" / "Shamelessly entertaining"
Mattias Dahlström, Dagens Nyheter

"Beroendeframkallande buller" / "Addictive noise"
Håkan Persson, P3 ROCK

"Sveriges bästa nya garagerockband!" /
"Swedens best new garage rock band!"

Jocke Ericson (Nomads, Gearfest)
Listed as a "Dont miss" in the Hulstfred 2006 booklet

"Scrags are not just one more great band from Sweden, they are SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER ... COOL"
No Brains Zine

"Even the most asshole critics seem to consider them the Swedish garage rock band of the year"
Vice Magazine
