Here's a CDR with all six tracks from a forthcoming release called The Road To Kingdom Come. This Swedish band has members from various other old local bands. You've probably never heard of any of them. HIJAF was called MANSIC before this too. Don't know if they released anything.
The press sheet says that four out of five members have been playing folk music before this and that they mix this influence with punk rock. Well, what you get here isn't something new, most of the songs just have a DROPKICK MURPHY type thing going. The exception being Young Hearts, where they try to sound more like the UKs '78/'79 new wave rock bands. STARJETS or RADIATORS maybe.
Some of the lead vocals are ok (if a bit dry), but the folk rock guitar leads are not. There's violin too, a lot of it on one or two tracks. They also sound very old in a seasoned musicians way that doesn't appeal to me at all. Complacency rather than hate seems to fuel this band. They need to redo this when they're really angry.
There are semi-political lyrics in some of the songs like the opening Labours Grind, but I don't think I can remember a single line after hearing it.
Songs available on their website.
