BACKYARD BABIES / STOCKLHOLM SYNDROME

If you are looking for Top Notch, Class A, Lip Smacking, Ass Kicking, Hard Drinking, Hard Rocking, Hell Raising, Fast Living, Pleasure Seeking, Smooth Talking, Fun Loving, Cool Looking, No Nonsense, Hedonistic Rock N Roll, then you’re looking for the Backyard Babies new CD.

Dregen and the crew return with another stormer, there are plenty of "New" rock bands around but none come anywhere near Sweden’s finest sons, so why settle for inferior product when the real stuff is available? This is Good time music at its best, driving guitars, power driven rhythms coupled with a Pop/Metal, sing-a-long chorus that is hard to ignore, so don’t.

There is nothing deep and meaningful here, just the guys trying to get through life and working out their problems through the songs. If you want an example then take a listen to "Earn The Crown", "Pigs For Swine", "Minus Celsius", "Be Myself & I" or "Friends" and you will have all the proof you need. This is a flawless follow up to "Making Enemies Is Good" and will be lapped up by new and old fans alike and the nice thing is there is not a duff track on it. The only problem is that it’s only out in Scandinavia at the moment; the rest of the world will have to wait until next year (2004) unless you get an import copy like I did.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 41 mins + 12 TRACKS
