Fear of War:

"Here comes an interview with the in my view totally fantastic Fagersta-band Fear of War.

Once I saw them in Hedemora and there the effect of alcohol was great. Then I saw them rehearse once long time ago, and following times I have seen them they have only become better and better and fantastic and...
And now over to the interview with Micke.

Howdy!
-Howdy to you!

What is your line-up?
-Micke - guitar
Marco Vourinen - drums
Dick Karlsson - bass & vocals

When, how and why?
-F.O.W. was formed in January -84. Why? Well, Dick and me had played in Posion Bastards with Crude S.S.'s drummer Hacke. But then he went over to Crude. Then Dick and me were looking for a new drummer and found Marco and that was how we became F.O.W.
+Banan zine,original page:

How was is playing support act to SUBHUMANS in Norberg?
-It was good. It was the best concert we have done. At least the one that was the most fun. It was a damn 'go' on the audience and that is what was so good. Usually people sit around being boring. Times like that it is pointless to play.
(HE-Richard and I say thank you. He even had to take a taxi to the Fagersta hospital after that pogo-dancing!)

What's up with the EP with ASOCIAL? Anything else?
-ASOCIAL???? WE HAVE NEVER PLANNED AN EP WITH ASOCIAL!!! (Oh no. Well I have heard about that somewhere. Oh well, that is wrong then....Asocial is probably not the same thing as.../eds) Perhaps you mean BEDROVLERZ? We might do an EP but it won't be with either Asocial nor Bedrovlerz. We might release one autumn -85 but then it will probably be with only F.O.W.
Banan zine,original page:

Granberg's label? [ = Per Granberg from Charta 77, Birdnest Records / Tony]
-We might do a compilation-LP with Granberg but not an EP> I think it got delayed.

Do you think that all animal testing should be banned?
-No, not all of them. There are actually important animal test as well. But circa 80% or what ever it is are totally unnecessary. For cosmetics and a lot of shit - These should absolutely be stopped.

You are lying. You don't know what it is all about!
-OK Sorry.

I mean, oh sorry..."

At this stage Micke ran up on the stage. Errr, he became busy all of a sudden. It went well. It was Fear of War...and we had some difference of opinions that's all...

Mention should also be made that Micke and Marco also play with THE BEDROVLERZm Dick in Crude Society System [Crude SS] and some are hiding behind the wonderful band UGLY SQUAW's TROZOR.

If someone sends us a photo of Marco, I'll put it in the next issue of the zine...

[At the bottom are two Ugly Squaw Trozor lyrics (I think) which translates as:]

GOD HE SCREWED HIS
OWN SON.
CHRISTUS WAS THIS
MORON.

I AM HAPPY I HAVE
TURNED 65 YEARS OLD NOW SHALL I
MOVE INTO A PENSIONATE.
(U.S.T.)

(TONY´s NOTE:And the handwritten text which is upside down translates as "Wherever I may go in this fat world I see "Babbie Boys" sticky hands turns up" - I don't know what this means sorry....)
