"...Tracks on various compilations also exists, like the B-side of their first single that ended up on a ROIR garage-cassette sampler. Another track, "CHANGE MY WAYS" is on a Swedish Nuggets/Pebbles-compilation called "REAL COOL TIME". And then the time is NOW! On December 7, 8 and11th The Shoutless were busy recording and mixing in a studio in Stockholm, together with the two Norwegian producers Willy B. and Bitten F. This visit to the recording studio resulted in three songs, where of one is a flexi with the incredible Swedish mag "THE EYE", whose title is appropriately "BUY THE EYE". A blistering thunderstorm in Stooges-mood, if you ask me, but the two songs on their next single might be considered by many to be even better. The titles: "BABY COME ON", a Beatlesque trasher complete with tremologuitar, feedback and maraccas, and then "STAY BY ME", a rockabilly-number which would have made Dave Edmunds proud (and make his hair turn grey if he heard it!!!). This is probably the very best Swedish rock-single for many years, but The Shoutless have two problems right now. The first is how to get as many gigs as possible in Europe and the rest of the world, the second is: How are they gonna manage to make a follow up to this record??????"Willy B - 1986 Source

"THE SHOUTLESS is probably the most unfamous band from Sweden today. Hailing from Solna, the now semi-legendary place outside Stockholm, and maybe THE centre of todays so called garagemusic, they have been going for more than four years now. A few line-up changes has taken place as the years have passed by, but today the quartet is made up of the following four: Janne Liljekvist. Guitar and vocals. 23 years old, and a filmstudent when the music don..t claim all his daily hours. Loves The Hollies, would you believe that while listening to to the frenzy lead guitar on "BABY COME ON"? Lasse Gustafsson. Bass and vocals. 22 years old student. Have been a member of The Shoutless since the beginning. When he..s not on stage with the rest of the band, you might find him on the back of his horse somewhere in the backwoods outside of Stockholm. Doctor Krause. Guitar and vocals. 24 years old and a student like the two above. Have played guitar for years and years, and although he really doesn..t enjoy any records, there is a possibility of making him speak quite nicely about artists like Ry Cooder and The Cramps. Matte Rosén. Drums. 21 years old. Spends his daily hours as a truckdriver, while hitting the skins at night. Started his career many years ago as a drummer in several punk-bands, but plays anything from rockabilly to whereever THE SHOUTLESS might take him. THE SHOUTLESS has been represented on vinyl before. Their very first 45, called "INSANE", had just about everybody in ecstasy, both in Sweden and abroad, from the local "Solna-Sundbybergstidningen" to internationally known mags like "Bucketfull of Brains". A mini-LP followed, where the titletrack "OUT OF REACH" is as highly regarded as "INSANE"..." Willy B. Source
