The Highspeed V - She Should Be Like Me (demo)

A true gem... I can't find the album - singles collection -

It is well known that primitive beasts loved to devour each other. At any latitude. This was also true in Sweden, during the prehistoric era of the neogarage in the Eighties. Thus, if the Highspeed Five "devoured" the Crimson Shadows in some way, they ended up being swallowed in turn by the Stomachmouths and the Wylde Mammoths. The story of the Highspeed Five unfolded over just a few months, bluffing about the age of the musicians (Jens and Niclas would respectively get younger by four and one year from one record to the next, Stellan would age prematurely by four years, and Henrik by as much as twenty-four, while Mats remained a perpetual eighteen-year-old), reserving themselves a place among the meteors rather than the stars of the Swedish garage punk firmament. The paleontologists at Groovie took care of gathering the few bones left behind with this Demented R&B, which brings together thirteen tracks that tried to re-adapt the maniacal North European rhythm 'n' blues, which was replacing in the hearts of enthusiasts, thanks to the "extraction" work of the Trans-World Punk compilations, the now metabolized American garage beat sound that had dominated the previous two years and which had been explored by Jens Lindbergh and Henrik Orrje with the Crimson Shadows. The Highspeed V offered an appropriately chaotic and derailing interpretation (Baby, French Blues, I will make), dense with Diddleyane jungles where the screams of chimpanzees echo like Pretty Things and Outsiders. Therefore, if you were and are attracted to mammoth furs more than to synthetic ones, purchasing Demented R&B is a must.
