Negative For Fun1. Babeland Released 3rd July 2012 on Röka Records "The Don't Fucking Cares are the kind of band that come along every now and then to strip all the superfluous gilding from the face of rock'n'roll, leaving it in its purest, most feral state. The Stooges are kings and The Runaways are queens, and there's no time for anything more than raw power, curled lips and explosive cherry bomb hooks. With front women Marta Larsson verbally kicking the rest of the band gleefully down the street while channelling her inner Joan Jett, it's all pure, uncomplicated thrills. Negative For Fun is unlikely to make much of an impact outside of the scuzzy world of dive bars and car park brawls that it joyfully inhabits, but one look at their name will show you how much that will bother the band, so long as they're making a gloriously unpolished racket. 7/10" Emma Johnston

Underage Demon1. Underage Demon Released 23rd February 2009 on Röka Records "The don’t fucking cares ‘underage demon’ (roka). Name alone warrants their imposition to an affectionate spot in our heart, the don’t fucking cares admit sounds great - bet you wished you’d called your band that - much deserving of its own branded t-shirt boutique is it not. Anyhow the Don’t Fucking Cares (wonder if they do t-shirts?) have been around in some shape or form since 2006 (there’s already been a debut platter ‘download’ which to much gnashing of the choppers we’ve missed out on) and hail from London, number four in the ranks and are led from the front by Marta whose DNA it seems appears to be spliced from Suzi Q, Joan Jett and a youthful Toyah (especially on ’nihilism is a fact of life’). Sound wise they play a grizzled melodic mutation assembled from second generation punk dialects and skewed ‘n’ scuzzy garage beat pop that’s been informed by both glam and the mid 70’s CBGB’s scene. ‘underage demon’ is deliciously dirty and decadent, a scuzzy babe that cross wires and twists around a sweetly seductive wasted and sleazy vibe whose prime constituents are riddled with the infectious infusion of garage beat motifs and stripped down punk pop accents that’s all at once littered and scarred by a flat lining boredom filled no future dialect that buckles barbed and beautifully like a corrosive variant of the Priscillas. Flip the disc ’nihilism is a fact of life’ a rally of sorts against societies infatuation with celebrity - they’ve got our vote on that one - just utterly pains me to see these brainless oiks invading my recreational viewing and reading habits while can I just say here and now - Alistair Darling - has he or has he not got a face that you could happily punch for fun. Okay the baiting done with - sharp intake of breath count to ten and all that lark - nah it hasn’t worked ho hum. Anyway where were we - ah yes the Don’ t fucking cares (great name eh? - what - oh sorry we’ve done that have we - still it is great) - ’Nihilism is a fact of life’ indeed well tasty aggressive angst ridded pogo pop all metered out with stuttering riffs and a seriously fucked off charm - kinda reminded us of a very youthful two finger waving Vice Squad. Utterly recommended. We’ve just noticed a ‘rare’ demo EP entitled ‘cardboard hearts’ that we suspect we need to own, hear and play to certain destruction before we get too much older. Prepare to see more of this lot in these pages." missive 194 - Losingtoday Magazine February 2009
