I had picked up this split 7" a while ago, back when I ordered a couple of other Sista Brytet releases. Popterror is the band that came with this split 7" as a bonus when I bought it for the Sista Brytet songs. That's one of the things I love about split 7"s, the opportunity to hear a new band while already supporting one you already like/. It's usually a win-win.
I can't say I was familiar with Popterror prior to listening to their side of this record. They're pretty fun and their song "Dyrt Att Vara Fattig" is catchy with horns in the background and a pretty poppy vocal melody. The way the horns interact with the rest of the music has a RFTC quality to them, but this isn't a band that sounds much like Rocket aside from that. I like the song, but I can't say that I'd be too inspired to hunt down more by the band.
Systa Brytet was the main reason I picked this up. On this release they have guitar riffage that reminds me of Idle Hands quite a bit and they also have the same knack for big catchy choruses. While these aren't my favorite songs by the band that I've heard so far, both are upbeat, energetic and have the intangible energy that all good punk rock has.
