ESSENTIAL RECORDS: the Hellacopters – High Visibilty
Posted by Krist under ESSENTIAL RECORDS , MISC , MP3'S , MUSIC , MUSIC LINKS[4] Comments
For some strange reason, The Hellacopters‘ High Visibility, no matter how upbeat, no matter how rock n roll or how energetic it is, it sort of makes me sad. Two of my friends who have passed away, one in 9/11 and one a few years later, both totally loved this record. So it’s sort of a bitter sweet cd for me..
Either way, this 2000 record is so completely rock n roll, I have no other way of describing but saying something like.. If you like KISS, MC 5 or any garage rock or anything in between, check out the tracks below. They are the best, most melodic straight forward rock possibly ever made by NON Brits or Americans ever. Did I mention they were Swedish? FUCK YES!
the Hellacopters – Baby Borderline
the Hellacopters – Toys and Flavors
the Hellacopters – Hopeless Case of a Kid in Denial
2 Bsides from this era (sort of).
the Hellacopters – American Ruse (MC5 Cover)
the Hellacopters – Cold Night for Alligators (Roky Erickson Cover)

I love it when a blog I read writes about a band I love that almost no one knows.
Hellacopters announced that their album this year will be their last. They are breaking up. Sad news.
Anyway, I wrote a review of High Visibility earlier this year. Here it is. Read it, if you like. If you are so inclined, please add us to your blogroll.

Yes, The Hellacopters most definitely have a god like status in Stockholm. In all of Sweden, in fact.
