From Karlshamn/Sweden came this short-lived band and they were active from 1979 - 1981 and here with their only release on Ori Records. Arsenik were Paul Zanichelli (vox & keys), Anders Fernlund (guitar & vox), Peter Vestermark (bass), Roger Karlsson (drums) and these youngsters offers here three awesome poppy '77 punk tunes and the keys rock the songs. I love the rattling sound which fabricate the four here. The band recorded some demos but only these 3 songs have made their way to vinyl. The song "Bad Girl" was taken for the Killed By Death #51 compilation. They did a reunion gig in 2002. Enjoy one more Swedish Punkrock pearl from the good old days.

Hey Sven, don't have both. I added them on my Wanted List, we see what happens.
I have loved this 45 since first time i heard it,it is the sound of being a 13yr old doing something great.I got my first guitar at this age in 1978 and got a band together to make a noise in the garage, we were a punk rock cliche 'anyone can do it',and we loved every second. this song has that joy to it.
