The DFCs

Negative For Fun Röka Records
London 2012 via Detroit 1972.
The Don't Fucking Cares are the kind of band that come along every now and then to strip all the superfluous gilding from the face of rock'n'roll, leaving it in its purest, most feral state.
The Stooges are kings and The Runaways are queens, and there's no time for anything more than raw power, curled lips and explosive cherry bomb hooks. With front women Marta Larsson verbally kicking the rest of the band gleefully down the street while channelling her inner Joan Jett, it's all pure, uncomplicated thrills.
Negative For Fun is unlikely to make much of an impact outside of the scuzzy world of dive bars and car park brawls that it joyfully inhabits, but one look at their name will show you how much that will bother the band, so long as they're making a gloriously unpolished racket. 7/10

"Baby take me home, I wanna download and view…."
Loud aggressive guitar sounds and abrasive vocal mix make this band stand out from the crowd. The EP kicks off a real, true working class rocker 'Download', the title track of this release, it grabs your attention by the throat, kicks your ass, knees you in the balls, and leaves you quivering on the ground wanting more!!!!
Does rock 'n roll get any better?
Is this what rock 'n roll is all about?
You bet it is!!!
Marta delivers a certain quality over the top of really gutsy punkrock driven songs, and catchy choruses…this I almost 1977all over again for me!!
The songs aren't blasted out at 100MPH either, there's a steadiness to the whole sound which helps deliver the power….like listening to Iggy's 'Raw Power', these songs are well executed and well timed. They leave you wanting more and more and more, whether you fucking care or not. They don't!!!
'There's something about you' is a mid-tempo blast in the head, with its 'there's something about you…there's something about you… there's something about you',,,chorus and power-chord guitar…it's all over too quickly…I want MORE!!!!!!
