PSYCHED UP JANIS - I Died In My Teens EP 1995

Psyched Up Janis was a Danish rock band started by Sune Rose Wagner, now a member of The Raveonettes, Martin Bjerregaard, and Jakob Jørgensen. They played their first concert in Sønderborg under the name of Western Front, in 1989. Psyched Up Janis recorded their first demo entitled I Never Change in 1992. That year, the band moved to Copenhagen and Martin Bjerregaard joined the band as drummer. The trio went to Sweden to record the first, self-financed, record, I Died In My Teens. The song by the same name made Single of the Week in Kerrang! This EP is very rare and is one of pure class which supplies you with solidlinks, steady bass riffs, obsurd lyrics and excellent music. A band that not many people have heard of. So get it right now.

PSYCHED UP JANIS - Vanity EP 1996

Second EP from this Danish combo from Sønderborg with four songs, two from their brilliant debut album 'Swell' and the flip has two live songs which were recorded at Roskilde Festival 1995 and only on this Bitch. I don't know why this band received little resonance internationally, one reason for that may Nirvana were that time the non-plus-ultra in this genre and everyone just listened to their music, on the other hand probably no one looked at the little Denmark and therefore, attention was covered. My girlfriend that time was deeply rooted in Denmark and recorded some of the band's songs on tape for me (I liked them instantly) and then in our vacation in Odense I had the opportunity to buy some albums. And each is a small masterpiece. Psyched Up Janis at home in the typical grunge section, loud & just as hard then Seattle (not so adapted) and their first self-financed EP I Died In My Teens was released in 1995 and one year later this one here. Overall they released five albums and in 1999 the band was history. I can only recommend to buy their albums, each is worth the Euros. Jakob Jørgensen (bass) later formed the band Knallert. Martin Bjerregaard (drums) toured and recorded with Australian punk-band The Saints and later joined the band Racetrack Babies. Sune (vox & guitars) has played with surf-band Tremelo Beer Gut and occasionally with Sort Sol. In 2002 he presented his new band The Raveonettes with Sharin Foo. Excellent record from an excellent Combo - Get It!!

PSYCHED UP JANIS - @ Roskilde 05.07.2014

Well, let's come to a very fuckin' special one and I promise: if you love this combo or you only know the Raveonettes then you will be amazed! Psyched Up Janis, my favourite danish band were surprisingly invited to the Roskilde Festival 2014 and with what they come across is just excellent. Nineteen powerful jewels which shows a very good overview of their albums plus rare B-side tracks of their 7inches, for me an absolute blast. All three gents in a top playin' mood and the sound is bombastic. I've banned this immediately on CD and it runs at full volume almost every day. This is music as I like, melodic, hard/soft, audible anytime and lyrics which rarely heard nowadays. Yeah, this is great stuff and this is cool and I regret to experience them not live. Thx to those who recorded and shoot the cool pictures which decorates the artwork, of course done by myself, and if you guess where I shoot the front cover then I will send you prompt a copy of this damn killer.

PSYCHED UP JANIS - Beats Me 1997

Brrr, Rain outside and I'm not really in the mood to go out. I guess this becomes a train day....Fuck! - Well, first another pearl of music history. Certainly it's already known to everyone in blogland that I give preference to Scandinavian punk and find their sound more interesting than some UK/US band. About Psyched Up Janis I will not write much, you can read it for  yourself. They are very popular in Denmark, possibly in the UK (most of their albums were recorded there) but that was it. This band deserves, in my opinion, more attention. Even with this album (their second) prove Sune, Jacob and drummer Jesper they are gifted musicians and write melodic hard songs which piss forward. In between a few melancholy ballads and the sun shines again in Denmark. If someone didn't know a note by this fuckin' awesome band then quickly change that situation.

THE RAVEONETTES - Hollywood, 24.01.2009

Amazing live bootleg by this great combo in a brilliant quality. The Raveonettes are a Danish Rock 'N' Roll duo consisting of Sune Rose Wagner on guitar, instrumentation and vocals, former head of the grunge band Psyched Up Janis and Sharin Foo (on bass and vocals). Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies, coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 50's and 60's rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats and often dark lyrical content. The duo met in Copenhagen and began recording "Whip It On", on which they handled all production chores by themselves. Adding guitarist Manoj Ramdas and jazz drummer Jakob Hoyer, the Raveonettes booked one of their first gigs at the SPOT festival in Århus, the second largest city in Denmark. "Whip It On" was elected "Best Rock Album of the Year" at the Danish Music Awards 2003, and The Raveonettes were picked as being among the harbingers of the "Next Wave" of contemporary music. The band is incidentally very big fans of Fender instruments. The song selection is an excellent cross-section of their albums which I can only highly recommend you to buy their stuff .So enjoy this rare piece of harmonic sound right now.
