Earlier bands like Lisma, Amourus, Extricator, Alienized, Epox rust, Hysteria, Scars & wounds, Neolitium, Incendiary, Royal Bastards and so on.

The group was founded i march 1986 as a quartet, The originalmembers was JJ Decay (vocals,bass), Damien (guitars, voclas), Fury (Håkan Furuskär, guitar) and Reverend Greenfield (Mats Grönmark, drums) they did their debut the 24th of april in Funhouse Järfälla outside Stockholm and played one more concert before the group was split in two camps. One who wanted to sing in english and one in swedish, and the first mentioned was Damien & which got some new members; Skinny Nutzoid (Jan Lundberg, synt), Mangan (Johan Magnusson, drums and vocals) and Nardina St:bass, guitar and vocals). This group wasn´t together for so long either( but they did record 8 songs and two of them are on our debutsingle) (1) and the new ones was called T. Reborn (Thomas Reidebornguitar) och Jocke Brünner (drums), but after some gigs this constellation split up also. JJ Decay and Damien decided to work as a duo with prerecorded drums and synths when they was gigging. Fall of 1987 came Skinny Nutzoid back and then was the group a gothinspired trio för a long time with JJ Decay on vocals, on guitar and Skinny on synth+machines. Except the singles(2) (3) and (4) we recorded a Lp(5)  with own money medel . The Lp is an interesting timedocument how the group sounded then 1986-1989. 1990-1991 the group worked with Vasa (Pontus & amerikanerna, Big money) swhich produced the second ”…and now the screaming starts!”. The record never saw daylight but it resultated in the singles (6) and (7) and the last one includes Ian Hammerhill (Jan Hammarberg, el-gitarr) as a casual member . 1992 Skinny left the group to do his duoproject Spiders in web wholetime. He was replaced Lord Crumb (Fredrik Welin, synt, drummachine, programming) from the groups Black Paul, Revolverkäke and so on. And  (8) was recorded but 1995 he couldn´t be in the group anymore and he lives as a pigfarmer in the south of Sweden. Right this time Flom (Mats From, guitars,drummachine, programming) was involved in the group but he chosed of economic reasons prior some discoprojects , so then in october 1996 JJ Decay and Damien got together with Full Throttle and Johnny Glue (Johnny Solberg, guitar) both from the covergroup Bodies and short thereafter Starpunk came to the group and (10) was a fact. 1998 hade the groups tentacles reached to Germany there(9) was released but Johnny Glue was forced to left the group due to tinnitus and Starpunk changed bass to guitar and Killer krax (Håkan Lindström) played bass without any bigger success and his recordings was rerecorded by someone else in the group and he got fired But he´s on the records (11) (12) (13) and(14). And after that the group got a new label, german Deliria noise outfitters and they got so poor and that did that the album Like crows on the slaughterhouse fence got one year late out. And it was the american label Neat Damned Noise like the group and decided to release  (17) in the same time as Devils shitburner release  (15) and later this year release (18) too. In yearr 2001 some new blood injected the group, that was the young Dragboy he was in the group and they did  (16) which was recorded in augist 2001 and was released by Reanimator records.

SEX SEX SEX plays today a simple and primitive rock with paralleles to punk with lyrics influenced by B-films horror/splattermovies and ameriacn violence and trashculture. Our gods is named GG Allin, Misfits Cramps, Poison idea Ramones, Nashville pussy, Rob Zombie, New bomb turks and Dwarves to mention some.

Why the name?

Damien: We was rehearsal with a lot of communist female punks in Funhouse(Järfälla) and all thought we were pathetic idiots which sang about mosnters, death and sex so we decided that the name suit us well and that made them even more angry. On our first concert we were thinking of shwoing animalporno but the whole thing was stopped.

 

 

Please tell me a little about every member, age , family and something horrible about every one?

Damien: We have been on the road for a long time and then it comes rumours the whole time and that some of it´s true I can take

 

 

You´re satisfied with the new record, where did the title came from?

Deacy: The title is about the musicjournalists and other people who eats dead animals and all other people who want some part of the rotten corpse. Mick Jagger said some similar things in a 70´s movie.

Damien: The title have Decay talking about for years and now it´s gotta be that title we thought. We have often the title ready before the music. Yeah we´re satisfied with the record and it´s fucking fun to release in USA. LP-version comes in may 2002(with some extra songs)

How is a good concert with you?

Decay: it sounds and it´s people on stage and then we get beer as payment( if we´re really sweet)

Damien: A halfdrunk band and wholedrunk audience..

 

 

Wahts´the most peculiar which have happened during a concert?

Decay: Masturbation, infalling roof and so on.i

 

 

Have you got any reviews on the record?

Damien: The ones that we have got is good everyone and I think the record is going to sell OK.

 

 

Which is the most peculiar review you have got?

Damien:Wow, thats´many. The most common is that they don´t write about the music because they write more about us as persons or some other shit and they don´t care about the music. IDIOTS.

 

 

Do you care about reviews?

Decay: No, but sometimes they´re really funny.

Damien: No, but as a small band you´re fucking depending of them anyway if you want to sell some records and can´t you sell any records you can´t get any contract so evrything is the one and same thing. So vene if you don´t care or care about they´re stil important

 

 

What is punk for you, is it only a word?

Damien: A fucking mess and freedom to play wrong.

 

 

What gets you going, you don´t sell a million records?

Damien: It´s like a poison. I have many times thoiught of quit doing this and then you get a new song in your head and must test it. And then it´s fucking fun

 

 

Which record have sold the most and how much do you sell?

Damien: I don´t know which who have sold the most but I think the fullengths are about 1500 and that so much the labels must sell to get it together. For us pretty uninteresting if we sell 100 or 1000 records because this is a sort of psychotherapy for us. We get out some aggressions ,we can meet, drink some beer and play, that we as a bonus make record is also fun.

 

 

How did the average Sex Sex Sex listener look like?

Decay: Castrated, not doing too much and don´t care about nothing(a little like Garfield),

Damien: It´s 2 types of people, one of them are a 16 years old which have been mobbed in school and want to end life for all and be a king. The other one is an ordinary rock n roll guy which likes a little morbid things

 

 

Is there any good bands in Sweden today?

Damien: The Bones, Bombshell rocks, Backyard babies + some more.

Decay: Demons, Grinners, Reclusives och Dellamorte.

 

 

How is it to live in Sweden today?

Decay: it´sa lie that it´s piss to die.

Damien: It´s OK..

 

 

How does it go in other countries than Sweden?

Damien: Good, we have no distribution in Sweden so we can say that all our records sell in foregn countries. We go on a Europetour in september with Love % A 45. We begin in Rosock 20/9.

 

How did you felt when the terrorstattack was in USA, surprised, happy, angry or what. Where were you when you heard about it?

Damien: I got chocked and pissed off, for my sake they can take their religion up their ass. USA isn´t so much better themselves but it sucks when 3000 innocent must give their life + everyone in the band likes McDonalds food and 2 of our record companies is stationed in USA.

 

Have it changed your life something?

Deacy: No, i drink as much now as then.

Damien: Yeah, I fly much and I must admit that you look more than one time when someone with arabic look come into the plan.

 

 

What do you like the ”new” way to communicate with email and internet and so on? Have you got any new fans out of it??

Damien: E-mail is this world best thing. Without it many of our records never have been done. The world have shrinked thanks to email. This interview haven´t been done without it. Internet is incredibly good for small bands to promote them self. The people which like some sort of music can find links to other bands and so on.

Decay: What´s new with it?
