E.A.T.E.R. - Doomday Troops EP (Ernst) 1983
E.A.T.E.R stands for Ernst And The Edsholm Rebels
Ernst & the Edsholm Rebels was formed the autumn of 1982 in Kil in Värmland by Gröten – gu, Pelle – dr, Brännström – b and Hasse – vo. Before the recording of the E.P “Doomsday troops” Hasse was replaced by Micke – vo, the record was recorded in Asta Kask’s studio Kloakens Alternativa Anti Studio in Töreboda and was produced by Micke Blomqvist. The record was released the spring -83 and sold in 12 countries, among them U.S.A, where Jello Biafra (from Dead Kennedys/Alternative Tentacles) was distributed it. During 83-84 they played diligent on punkfestivals in Sweden, Denmark etc. The band contributed on lots of tapes and Really Fast vol 1 and represented Sweden on the ROIR tape “ World Class Punk” from New York. A 2:nd E.P was recorded “Abort the system” -84, but never released.
In 1985 the band disbanded, Pelle and Gröten was then playing in Product Assar for a short while.
E.A.T.E.R reunited autumn -85 by Gröten – gu, Micke – vo, Snacke – b and Jerker – dr but the reunion becomes short due to Jerker’s death (R.I.P), after a while of internal problems and movings to Australia the band heading for a European tour in Holland, Germany, Belgium, and a video recording in Bielefeld & live taking that became E.A.T.E.R’s last performance, dec -86
Great Swedish classic band, in the vein of Asta Kask, but much more raw and powerful.
Enjoy it !!!

The low rating is strange– this is a killer EP. Yet another I got cheap way back and am kicking myself for selling during the eBay boom.
Much better than the things that now are so called “legendary” i.e Moderat Likvidation and so forth.
I’ve had their “Get Your Yo-Yo’s Out” 7″ since high school, found it in a thrift store here in Iowa. If anyone is interested, I can rip it and post it here.
Hey Gamma– wouldn’t mind hearing that 45, thanks! But do keep in mind that it’s by Eater, the English ‘77 punk band, but this post was by E.A.T.E.R, an ’80’s Swedish hardcore outfit.
I know jack shit about either band, I assumed it was the same one. Oh well…
This EP fuckin’ shreds and it’s way better than that Jag Gillar EP!!!!
I hate the stupid vocals.
