The Forgotten Generation

Rediscover a defining moment of Scandinavian underground rock with the vinyl reissue of Lea Riders Group’s 1968 single ‘The Forgotten Generation’ b/w ‘Dom Kallar Oss Mods’ — a raw and uncompromising snapshot of youth culture at the edge. Released in connection with the groundbreaking Swedish documentary “They Call Us Misfits”, the B-side ‘Dom Kallar Oss Mods’ became an enduring cult statement — a gritty, hypnotic track that channels the disillusionment and attitude of a generation outside the mainstream. Its stripped-down groove and haunting atmosphere stand in stark contrast to the more direct, garage-driven energy of the A-side, ‘The Forgotten Generation,’ a powerful blast of fuzz guitar, R&B roots, and mod-era urgency. Emerging from Sweden’s vibrant mid-60s scene, Lea Riders Group built their reputation on a raw fusion of British R&B, garage rock, and proto-psychedelia. Though their original releases were limited, their recordings have since become highly sought-after artifacts among collectors, celebrated for their authenticity and emotional intensity. This reissue brings both sides of this rare 1968 single back to life — from the defiant punch of ‘The Forgotten Generation’ to the shadowy, cinematic pull of ‘Dom Kallar Oss Mods.’ A vital document of European garage rock, as powerful and relevant now as it was over half a century ago
