The 1980s garage scene was created and has to be understood as a complete immersion in American pop culture from the 1950s and pre-hippie 1960s. It wasn’t about heavy fuzz guitars or tattoos, it wasn’t about wearing leopard skin pants and proclaiming a “revolution”. Everything like that just had to go. It wasn’t a retro scene either, because nothing like this had ever exited in Scandinavia, where the teenage scenes had always been ruled by English lads, from Tommy Steele in 1961 to “Quadrophenia” in 1979. As anyone who was around will remember, walking down the street in 1985 wearing a bowl haircut and a Chocolate Watchband outfit (striped or checkered pants, paisley shirt or black polo, mod-style jacket, Chelsea boots, a 5-inch belt with a big buckle) would cause people’s heads to turn just like they must have in San José back in 1966. Not even the local mods understood the angle the garage guys were coming from.
In this pure garage scene the Stomachmouths were undoubtedly kings. They were the best live band, they had been around the longest, they had the most developed sense for the right moves and attitude. A lot of this came from band leader and vocalist Stefan Kéry, whose knowledge of the bizarre underbelly list of Stefan Kéry, whose knowledge of the bizarre underbelly of American entertainment was encyclopedic even at this early stage. Additional input was received from the band’s early mentor Gunnar Johansson, who as a fanzine and record dealer knew people in New York that would play a vital part in forming the frame of reference for the Stockholm bands – Tim Warren of Crypt/ “Back From The Grave”, Billy Miller of Kicks magazine, Mike Weldon of “Psychotronic” movies fame.
The 100 watt light build above the head of Stefan Kéry and his fellow Stomachmouths was switched on sometime in mid-1984. Prior to this, they had dabbled in a few different bands from the 70s punk era up to the confused post-new wave days of the early 80s. Playing US-style garage was an idea that appeared in what was essentially a vacuum. Rock ’n’ roll was at an all-time low, and whatever promise 1977 punk had held sank into oblivion as corporate blockbuster rock looked more powerful than ever. In Sweden the early 1980s scene was particularly pathetic as the punk “movement” there had failed in even its most basic mission, which was to kill off the progressive era and its bad music and ideas. The leftwing prog scene in Sweden was so vast and all encompassing that it swallowed the entire punk scene, spiky hairdos and all, and turned it into a politically correct, locally subsidized pseudo-rebellion joke. After this failure there was nothing, a few new-romantics, and the same old dreary singer/songwriters. This background is vital to comprehend the Stockholm garage bands’ complete rejection of whatever was going on at the time, and their unconditional love for an obscure culture from a different time and place.
The first line-up of the Stomachmouths was born in 1984 and lasted about a year. The band consisted of Stefan Kéry (vocals/guitar), Lars Kjellén (guitar), Pär Stavborg (bass) and Martin Skeppholm (drums). He four came from unglamorous suburbs in the northern part of the Stockholm region and all except drummer Skeppholm had played together in a pre-Stomach outfit called Räger Mär (a k a “Roger Moore”). Material from the 1960s had already worked its way into the Räger Mär live set, such as a Seeds cover and “My eyes have seen you” by the Doors. Apart from the direct influence from original 60s garage punk Stefan Kéry re
