Info on some Swedish bands
Huvudtv�tt
Huvudtv�tt or Headcleaners as they called themselves outside Sweden existed -81 'til -84.
It was started by Mats Nilsson and his brother Torulf after they put their former band
called Massmedia to sleep in 1980.
The only difference between Huvudtv�tt and Headcleaners are the lyrics who are in English with
Headcleaners,musically they were inspired by the hardcore scene and it's bands like Discharge.
They had four different singers:Huw,Hasse,Janne and finally Lasse P. the drummer -Patrik- came
from Massmedia,but for their last recording they borrowed the drummer from Kurt i Kuv�s.

Existenz
In the beginning the bandmembers were Rolle -Bass Jocke -Gitarr Stefan -Drums,in -83 when
a 7-track EP was being recorded Jyrki Siikaluomn started singing.
Then right after the release David Butolen took over the bass and that became the final setting.
In -84 they went to London and with the help of Charlie Harper they played 3 gigs,and in the summer
of -85 they went back and did some more gigs.
Their ordinary jobs were taking more and more time so in the winter 85/86 the band took it's last breath.
