-The songs on the vinyl are from slightly different periods. Protest is a verbal riot, has an anarchist spirit. Instrumental way when we started the tentative a little for those who then became our 'style'. We see it as a break because they were the first new song we wrote after our last record. Bite me. The original of our second album was in English. A little insufferable lovesong. We had a lot of trouble recording it. We didn't really know the song form so Emil sang it in the slush mic during the recording. The result with the slush song was so much fun (Bite me - Training wheels) so we just got on with it, live and everything. This was before we knew things like "tone", music theory and the liked. Teargas and gasoline were written by Eric in anger at how refugees were treated by the EU during the 2015 refugee crisis. The refugees were fired with tear gas and their camps were burned down from a distance. Instrumentally, Albin managed to get out of his writer's block and was able to tear another proper drumming. Many songs are about some kind of mental illness. We have a recurring term in several texts, obstreosis. A type of panic attack.

Are you happy with the new record, I get some rehearsal roomfeeling, which I think is a nice feeling?

- Yes, yes. It's a bit of a Frankenstein's monster in recordings. From 3 different recordings. One take wonders. I think it's a good representation of us. Some of the most riveting and fun to play live. The genre width of the album tells us how wide we can be.

When we're talking about music, how do you seeon  punk? Is it just a style of music or a lifestyle? Were there some punk bands before in Trollhättan like Röten Tandkräm, Brutal Personal etc, is there anything you listened to?

- A lifestyle first and foremost. But they go hand in hand as a style of music. From Trollhättan they are Giftigt Avfall and part of Gubbjävlers. Eric's team leader's brother was part of Brutal Personal, unfortunately nothing we listened to.

Headstag how did that name come up? Weren't you afraid that any other band would be called that?

-We weren't afraid. The idea came from a t-shirt Eric bought on a class trip. Our first name was Softgoat. We named our debut after that.

How did it came that you play this kind of music today, what kind of groups inspire?

- A fantastic outlet. Energy, etc. Albin did not know what punk was when he was recruited, but in recent years has been evangelically saved. Punk has a good message. Feminism, equal value, system hatred, not being trampled on. An outlet towards commercialization in society.

What kind of audience do you draw? Are there any varieties you are missing?

- Surprising breadth in ages. We don't feel like we're missing a group altogether.

You've got a pretty typical sound on your records, do you do everything yourself or is there a producer involved?

-No producer. Just a sound engineer. Maybe because we're betting on rehearsal sense, we reach a certain sound. We just mick up the instruments and play straight off until a take is good.

Your texts otherwise, what are they all about? Does music and politics always go together? Why or why not?

-Music is an outlet. Sometimes you have to lift your heart a little bit. Sometimes they are serious political opinions, mental health or just things we like or are funny. Like Scooby Doo.

Are there any good political Bands you like?

- There's a lot! System of a down, Operation Ivy, Dead Kennedys, Anti Flag, Bad Religion, Blå Tåget.

Are there any other bands in Sweden that you can recommend?

- There's a lot! Slaveriet, Mormor kommer, Attityd boys, Giftigt Avfall, Böset, GUBBJÄVLERS!, Madam Skam, Lost Wisdom, Kid Feral, Civil Olydnad, Borgerlig Begravning, Sputnik Falls, Koma Asociala.
