Selfmindead
Selfmindead was a hardcore punk band from Sweden.
History
Selfmindead formed in the winter of 1994-1995 in Eskilstuna, Sweden as a four piece. Marko Hautakoski on drums, Timo Sillankorva on guitar, vocalist Ilkka Viitasalo and bassist Tapani Hoikkaniemi. Mostly influenced by the Swedish Hardcore scene, bands such as Refused, Abhinanda, and Mindjive. In 1995 the band entered a competition in their hometown of Eskilstuna, known as Cult-95. After winning this competition they began to play more shows around Sweden. In 1996 Selfmindead came into contact with a newly formed record label known as Soulscape Records. They signed with Soulscape and released one 7", featuring two original songs and a cover of Starflyer 59's song, "Hazel Would". In the early summer of 1997 they entered the studio to record a self titled, full-length record. The album was released in Scandinavia by Soulscape, who had released their previous 7". It was distributed in England and Benelux by Sally Forth Records and in the US by Solidstate Records. The group toured Europe behind this release.

Rules To Break Laws To Change
by: SelfmindeadI'm getting bored with this culture and these old traditions
I'm getting bored with this people and their boring ideals
All the real songs never get heard and all the real art is worth nothing
All the real words never get heard and everything remains the same
I'm getting bored with this culture where everything remains the same
I'm getting bored with this people they all remain the same
Stop the cycle
Make progression
Yeah
Stop the cycle
