Midlife Crisis! – The Swedish “Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young of Punkrock”!
It all started back in 2004 as Maryslim-bassist Urrke T ‘ s “solo project”.
He and three of his friends met up in the studio and recorded some of his personal 77-Punkrock favourites.
On the first EP the band even called themselves Urrke T & the Midlife Crisis.
An eclectic bunch, gathered from bands like not only Maryslim, but also Backyard Babies, The Hellacopters, Crimson Shadows, etc. With the only goal to play some old school Punk Rock and have some real fun.
So, they went into the studio, and soon after, their debut EP was released on the small label Bootleg Booze Records. Success was inevitable. Over the next 14 years, they recorded and released three more vinyl EPs on BB Records. The second EP still featured exclusively well-chosen covers of old ’70s bands from England, Sweden, and the USA. By the third and fourth EPs, a few of Urrke’s original works were included, as well as a Swedish translation of the U.K. Subs classic “The Same Thing” (“Samma Sak”).
