Those rockers from Sweden are back! The Backyard Babies return with their latest release after a five-year hiatus with,
, '4our BXY 4our'. Nicke Borg – lead vocals / guitar Dregen – lead guitar / vocals Johan Blomquist – bass Peder Carlsson – drums. Formed in 1989, and with half a dozen studio albums to their name, the line-up of the band has never changed, and neither has the collective desire to claim a key and colourful chapter in the annals of rock 'n' roll. For those of you not clued in, The Backyard Babies dish out melodic, sleazy hard rock with a punk edge in the vein of Appetite era G'n'R. While a few of the songs aren't quite as immediate, '4our BXY4our', is the kind of recording that will grow on you. I found that a few spins of the whole thing while working out had me rapidly grooving to it all. There really isn't a weak track on it, although honourable mention must go to, "Th1rt3en Or Nothing", " I'm On My Way To Save YOU Rock N' Roll" and "Bloody Tears", a fine blast of Babies punk 'n' roll. To sum it all up, if America's tattered and fast-fading rock & roll soul has any chance of salvation, this may well be one of its last chances -- grab it! An amazing introduction into the world of the last great rock band to emerge since Guns N' Roses. Backyard Babies produce consistently great albums and are a top live band. Long may they continue. - Highly Recommended
