Formed: Copenhagen, Denmark
One of Denmark's first punk bands, and a very good one too.
Sods were full of spit and fire and could bash songs out a speed that could almost be described as hardcore. They helpfully sang in English. 'Television Sect' is a classic slice of angry punk with a pounding beat and breathless vocals:
Television sect
You've got no self respect
You think it's intellect
You let your mind defect
The LP, all 20-odd minutes of it, mixes more of the same with a Suicide influence (down to a cover of 'Ghost Rider') and is great, a furious slice of passion which is not for weaklings!
They changed their name to Sort Sol and under a new direction recorded: Under En Sort Sol (Medley, 1980), Dagger & Guitar (Medley, 1983), Everything That Rises Must Converge! (Medley, 1986), Flow My Firetear (Sony, 1991), Glamporpuss (Sony, 1993) and Unspoiled Monsters (Sony, 1996).
