Totalitär

Swedish hardcore punk band formed during the winter of 1984/1985, known for their manic d-beat style.

The band's line-up was Poffen (vocals), Lanchy (guitar), Andreas (bass, lyrics) and Lennart (drums). After recording a demo, tracks were used in various cassette compilations, some under the name Anti-System (2) - a name the band never chose (but was the title of a fanzine they ran). Lennart quit during the summer of 1986, and was replaced by Jörgen (who was a guitarist originally).

After releasing the "Multinationella Mördare" EP in 1987, Jörgen introduced Jesper, a friend whom with he had a two-piece band (TGU). Jesper took over the drums and Jörgen started playing the second guitar. After releasing two more 7''s as a 5-piece, Jesper and Jörgen departed. They band did a brief UK tour with Jallo (of No Security) entering the band as a drummer, before going on hiatus in 1990.

In 1994 Jallo's label Finn Records proposed a reforming of the band, and released their first LP "Sin Egen Motståndare". From '94 to 2000 the band continued to record but rarely played live, or rehearsed. After releasing another LP, two split LP's (with Dismachine and Disclose) and a few singles they decided to disband again at the end of 2000.

After 6 years without recording sessions, they returned to the studio one last time and Prank released their third LP "Vi Är Eliten".
