Described by Sweden's national tabloid, Expressen, as "a perfect union of FRONT 242 and the B-52s", electronic punk group CAT RAPES DOG are back with their first album since 1999. The new album, dubbed "Life Was Sweet", is the seventh CAT RAPES DOG studio release and the first on the label Artoffact. The band get right to the point and stay true to their punk rock roots, rarely pausing and skipping all filler. The album clocks in at a 'fits on vinyl' 35 minutes, but in this short space CAT RAPES DOG will tell you to go out and vote, give you a lesson in religion, and baffle you with a sense of humour all their own. Manic electronic synth lines meet over-the-top male and female vocals on nine tracks of pure DIY weird.
The limited 2CD edition includes a bonus CD (limited to 444 copies) that features the 16 best tracks from CAT RAPES DOG's late 80s recordings, originally released on cassette only and never available since. The bonus CD includes songs from the cassettes "Cat Rapes Dog", "Nekronomikon" and "Property Produces Bodily Injury". Approx 65 minutes!
