Umeå Hardcore

A company which intends to release alternative literature and music, in both physical and digital form, but also peripheral products linked to authors, artists and the company´s brand, such as t-shirts. All works will have a connection to northern Sweden and Umeå in particular. Everyone involved in the company works on a voluntary basis. This is a cultural act with few releases per year.

Our first release is the book Operation Stormhatt, an existential psychological thriller filled with social criticism. In short: via the perspective of an unknown north Swedish author - a faceless ghost from the shadow of the militant vegan movement - we look out over our present existence with contempt. Inner voices, memories, hypnotic ideas and rational rage guides the protagonist to the inevitable conclusion to carry out a terrorist attack against the Nobel banquet. Only available in Swedish at the moment.

Our second release is a limited-edition vinyl record with the punk/hardcore band Garbage Pailkids from Umeå, which operated in the years 1989-91. In addition to selected songs from their two demos and previously unreleased songs, the gatefold cover contains detailed liner notes in English describing Umeå´s early hardcore scene.
