Here is yet another Swedish fanzine from the 1980s as posted by Mikael Sörling on his fab-blog Turist i Tillvaron:
"I remember buying an issue of Sub #7 after some gig in Linköping and thinking the zine was so cool. Partly for the unusual format (A4 length) but more importantly for the meaty contents: interviews with Appendix, Anti-Cimex***, Amebix, Tuomittujen Tuhla, Slam and Subhumans. Well-written and interested interviews all of them. I am not sure but this may have been done by one of the Really Fast-brothers?"

***Slobodan adds: This is the "Yet Another Anti-Cimex" interview that can be found in Sika Apara 2 (Swedish 1990s zine) - in fact Sika Apara simply had the two pages of Anti-Cimex from Sub # 7 pasted in. Compare and contrast, nice photo of Jonsson by the way, less so of Jocke. For English translation see in comments (already translated for someone else a year ago).

Yet another interview with Anti-Cimex
"Our lyrics relate to the whole wide world, but sometimes I would like us to have Swedish lyrics".
Thus answers Jocke (who plays guitar) to my question about whether it feels right to have lyrics in English. My follow-up question is whether they have a message that puts them aside from other bands. JOCKE:
"Yes, perhaps. Our message is first and foremost anti-war because we think it is the worst and the first that needs to be dismantled in society."
Anticimex is of course one of Sweden's most known bands and Jocke thinks that he gets a special treatment because he plays guitar in Anticimex.
"Yeah, sometimes when you play in places where they don't know you."
How does it feel when you are out to playing somewhere?
"Really great, it is a special atmosphere and you get a bit nervous"
Anticimex has released 3 EPs and a LP is on its way. Personally I think "Raped Ass" is their best record. What do you think of your old material?
"I think it is crap, but they were good back then at the time."
Did you have more fun back then?
"I do think so, because back then everything was new, I mean the punk sound, you had never heard anything like it before."
This says Jocke about the collective feeling of the band:
"Me and Charlie live in Skovde and Jonsson and Sixteen lives in Gothenburg. Sometimes it can take weeks before I meet Charlie, and it is more usual that we talk over the phone sometime now and then. Sixteen and Jonsson I met only when I am in Gothenburg because that is when we rehearse. Sometimes we talk on the phone and I feel alright with that."
I think it sounds very messy and ask him if they don't have disputes when they do new songs.
"Yeah, that happens, because I really do want us to reinvent the band from time to time and that usually happens. I do the songs and I sit at home and do them there. "
I ask Jocke to name something negative about Swedish bands:
"That all bands sound principally the same musically. It would be much more fun if you could hear a band play OI-punk [?]. It's not so fun anymore to go to a concert because you know what you will get."
Much more than that there wasn't coming from Jocke. When I asked him what he was thinking about he said "Jenny Euston and Bob Andrews". [?] So now you know.
