Editorial Reviews

Product Description
"Tight and fast, melodic, and filled with whoa-whoa harmonies. From Sweden, where they know their shit." -- LOLLIPOP

Venerea started out as Venereal Disease in Falkenberg, Sweden back in 1991, covering classic eighties punkers such as the Hard-Ons, Gang Green, Bad Religion, and The Ramones. The first thirty or so self-penned numbers were cut for two legendary demos: From Beer to Eternity (1992) and The Second Cuming of Venereal Disease (1993), which attracted enough attention to get the band its first record deal with now-defunct Swedish label Brööl. After shortening their moniker to Venerea, the group went on to record for German label Gift of Life as well as tour with Ten Foot Pole and the Vans Off the Wall tour with Ignite, SNFU, Deviates, and Powerhouse. According to popular website PastePunk.com, "One Louder is a throwback to the days when Ten Foot Pole, Pulley, Pennywise, Propagandhi, Strung Out, Lagwagon, and NOFX ruled the scene, and everyone was sporting board shorts and tees with the Fat Wreck Chords logo on the back ... fourteen songs of masterfully crafted, speedy, forbidden-beat punk fucking rock, and every morsel of it hits with the fury of a band playing their instruments until they've reduced them to piles of ash."
