Is there much of a point in posting about the Shitlickers?
Probably not. They're of such legend that their noise is readily available to download illegally from your own nan...okay probably not that well known, but still. The Shitlickers work isn't the most hard to obtain in mp3 format...physical release however, will set you back a good chunk of moneh.
ShitFi has many a good article on the Shitlickers as well as Anti-Cimex. Easily one of the best is the interview with the grand Shitlicker: vocalist Lasse. There's some fascinating stuff about how they recorded the guitars and the general way the band prioritized themselves. No wonder they were one of the first and best of D-Beat. All about who they were and what they did is in this interview. So i suggest you have a read if you're interesting in learning more about this seminal Swedecore/raw-punk/D-Beat band. Go HERE for more.
Other than that, Kawakami, a legend in his own right, wrote about the Shitlickers in a jap fanzine called Crust War. Which you can find HERE
music in general. Without Shitlickers you can kiss bands like Napalm Death goodbye, you can kiss crust goodbye, and you can bet that death metal probably wouldn't be the same (or exist at all).
For those not in the know. Shitlickers recorded 2 EP's that are well circulated. However, apparently there are demos and live recordings that have yet to see the light of day. A cool tidbit of information: The Shitlickers featured Tomas 'Freke' Johnsson, eventual vocalist for Anti-Cimex, on bass.
Degenerik posted a decent collection of both the EP's on his blog, so for the Linky, Links:
