The Encyclopedia Of Swedish Hard Rock And Heavy Metal Writes:
A rather unknown Swedish hardrock act from Oskarshamn. They recorded this self titled album at the
Krajbjerg Studio in Denmark during February and March of 1988 with Qrt Lassen as producer. The disc
was pressed and released on the Danish Bums records. The band picked up their album when it was
finished in Denmark and released it on the ferry boat on their way back home between Grena in
Denmark and Varberg, Sweden. Not many of this album where sold and most of them got piled up
in a warehouse so it has become a rather unknown piece of vinyl that hasn’t made it into any of the
books about Swedish heavy metal. The album sounds a bit amateurish and could be compared to many
of the average bands that released singles on smaller labels like Efel and Pang records. Singer Mats
Drehmer would later go on to bands like Den Magiska Hunden and Dweebs before starting his own solo
project simply called Drehmer. He has recorded some of the Drehmer material with a few of the members
from THE QUILL, however so far the material have been unreleased

lol, anyone who names their band "Boom Shanker Group" MUST have people in the band named Mr. Boom and Mr. Shanker. Otherwise, it's a sin against taste, heh heh. Or maybe there is some Swedish translation think going on, eh Strapp?

sounds a bit like ozzy, thanks.

Yeah, the name is rather odd. Well, at least the didn't named the band BONE WANKER GROUP. Thanks for the upload!
