Avskum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Avskum is a political hardcore punk/d-beat band from Kristinehamn, Sweden. Playing Classic Swedish Hardcore influenced by Discharge Avskum started in the Early 1980's, only to temporarily disband until the Mid 1990's where they returned more productive than ever. All original members except the original guitarist perform in the current line-up. They continue to sporadically perfom within Europe and in 2004 did a small two week tour in the U.S.. Avskum's lyrics generally deal with issues such as nuclear war and capitalism.
