Massmedia Explained
Massmedia should not be confused with mass media.
Massmedia was a classic punk band from Sundsvall, Sweden[1] who recorded their first EP during Christmas 1978 at Torkhold, a bomb shelter at Västermalms gymnasium,[2] which was also used for the early punk concert in Sundsvall.[2]
In February 1979 they released their first album on their own label Massproduktion.[3] It had a print run of 492 numbered copies and is now regarded as a collector's item.[2]
Even before they released their first EP, they recorded the single "Das Jazz/Jag vill inget".[4] It was recorded in the rehearsal room[5] with Jan Zachrisson from Diestinct.[2]
