Together with Swedish bands like Asta Kask, Sötlimpa, Existenz, Moderat Likvidation, Noncens, EATER, Anti Cimex and many others the Bristles were the new breed of fast playing bands that released mostly singles, and did a lot of gigging.

The Bristles formed in 1982, influenced by the second punk wave with bands like The Exploited and the Oi!-movement.

[2] The band now took another musical direction, dropping the Oi!-influences in favour for merely raw punk.

In the summer of 1984 the band broke up just to shortly after reform with a new drummer, Groll, replacing Lankan.

Instead the band broke up again due to musical differences fuelled with drug issues.

He was replaced by Ray (DTAL, Hyste'riah G.B.C, Driller Killer), a friend of the band since the early days.

On the record there are guest artists as Emilush, Neli from Hoogans Hjältar, and Jyrki from the Negatives.

According to the press release, it was "a fuck off to the Swedish right wing government", as a digital single.

The album is produced by Tommy Tift (Sista Sekunden, Vånna Inget).

It’s Bristles versions of music magazine Schlagers Christmas single from 1980, Anders F Rönnbloms Det är inte snön som faller (It's Not Snow That's Falling) and Ebba Gröns Nu slocknar tusen människoliv (Now Thousand Lives Fades Away).

Last time we did the Swedish National Anthem, Ebba Gröns Beväpna er (Arm Yourself).

So when we discussed Christmas songs the songs on Schlagers Christmas record from 1980, Anders F Rönnbloms Det är inte snön som faller och Ebba Gröns Nu släckas tusen människoliv, became natural choices.

The band has no illusion about a labour government, but the last 8 years of Right wing rule has been a disaster.

In 2015 (November) The Bristles new album Last Days of Capitalism is out and it is a review of the past two years' events ending up in the current both economic and political crisis.

Other topics covered are the West's mass consumption, men's global war on women, the Left's failure, and multinational companies grip on people.

Then there are some more traditional working-class songs about work buyers reprimands and neglecting ones job for the last time.

There are no false notes, it's not out of tune, no-one's playing anything wrong, although it may appear so, it's exactly the way it's supposed to be.
