For more on the combo please check post on their 1964 "Live At The Star Club" album https://monolover.blogspot.com/2018/08/the-violentslive-at-star-club-slp-42-64.html . Swedish guitar band existing 1959-66. Guitar instrumentals became a popular genre in Scandinavia from late fifties and a couple of years on with many band picking up the practice and reaching local fame. Another known exemple would be Shanes, which started as a pure instrumental band https://monolover.blogspot.com/2018/03/the-shanesstrictly-instrumental-tlp.html . This was The Violent's second LP. I've always had a soft spot for this kind of music, probably since it was about the only kind of "modern" music played on the Swedish radio early sixties and I was a devoted radio fan as a kid. Listening today they may not reach up to the all over quality from more internationally renowned guitar band's, like The Shadows or The Ventures, but this LP still has the ability to charm me as it was still early sixties. Not as violent as the the band name may suggest, instead simple and right on with lots of energy. And that together with the smashing mono audio makes this very good to my old ears. So natural it's like being there. Fourteen tracks, whereof five vocal. I do like the instrumentals best, especially the frisky "Kvantingen" and "Hässelbysteppen". To my knowledge this was the only release. It had label as shown here on thick unflexible vinyl in a fully laminated cover with top opening. (SCÄ*) (CCÖ*) (SÖNÄ*)
