BACKYARD BABY“后院宝贝”（瑞典乐队）




--------“人呀，人呀，像我们这样的人”


进入到后院宝贝。这是来自瑞典纳苏约的一个有胆识的四人组合，成立于1989年。那时候瑞典的音乐还没有入侵全球，后院宝贝和麻疹乐队，直升机乐队一起成长。他们1991年出了第一张EP“Something To Swallow”（可以吞下的东西）。1994年，出了整张唱片“柴油机和动力”，从这个时候开始，乐队的吉他手Dregen开始在直升机乐队工作。1998年，乐队出了专辑“total 13”，2001年出专辑“树立敌人是好的”，2003年出专辑“斯德哥尔摩综合症”，凭借后两张唱片乐队获得了瑞典的戈来美大奖，和丝绒左轮手枪的个人认可。并让ACDC接受乐队做ACDC欧洲巡演的暖场乐队。这个时候，乐队开始受到关注。

去年，乐队发行了唱片合辑和现场的CD“tinnitus + 巴黎演出的现场”后院宝贝在欧洲和美国做巡演期间，再一次调头工作。他们从来不会在过去的荣誉上沾沾自喜，他们正在着手做新专辑。新专辑的名字“People Like People Like People Like Us”,制作人是直升机乐队的吉他手，Nicke Andersson。乐队认为这张新专辑是动态的，充满活力的，制作人花了很多心思，调整声音并教会乐队如何一起演奏。同时，制作人日夜工作，专辑的声音真实而简单。在很短的时间内，我们写出了比以往更加激烈的音乐。

今年4月专辑发布，然后乐队就开始巡演。我们真是期待着再次回到舞台上。因为现场演出是唯一可以保证乐队健康发展的动力。请来看我们吧

People Like People Like People Like Us

Decadence has always been the cornerstone of rock ‘n’ roll. From brazen attitudes to loud riffs, rock ‘n’ roll has always been indulgent in life’s sinful pleasures.  Naturally, it only makes sense for rock ‘n’ roll’s musical output to personify its ideals; enter BACKYARD BABIES. The ballsy and rockin' four-piece from Nässjö, Sweden, preceded any recent ‘rock revival’ when they formed back in 1989, before the Swedish invasion began to sink its teeth in with The Hives, The Hellacopters and the like. After releasing their debut EP in 1991, “Something To Swallow” and their 1994 full-length entitled “Diesel And Power” guitarist Dregen started to work with The Hellacopters as well. Upon recommencing in 1998, the BACKYARD BABIES released “Total 13”, 2001’s “Making Enemies Is Good” and 2003’s “Stockholm Syndrome” which epitomized what rock is all about, decadently delicious songs and the cockiest of attitudes.  “Making Enemies Is Good” and “Stockholm Syndrome” both earned BACKYARD BABIES a Swedish Grammy and a personal nod from Velvet Revolver as well as AC/DC to open their European tours, thus cementing the band’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

After releasing last year’s compilation and live CD package, “Tinnitus + Live Live In Paris” BACKYARD BABIES again turned heads when they toured alongside Social Distortion in Europe and the U.S. Never resting on their laurels, the Babies have a new album brimming with confidence and their patented throwback rock flair.  Produced by Nicke Andersson, guitarist from The Hellacopters, the new album, entitled “People Like People Like People Like Us” is a celebration of all that the Babies have been known for while giving listeners a few new sonic treats in the process.  The band: “It’s more a dynamic album with a more modulated sound where Nicke Andersson taught us how to ‘play together’. But at the same time it was his restlessness that gave the album its honest and simple sound. We wrote more intensely and under a shorter period of time than ever before.  A challenge that proved to be just positive since you don’t have time to analyze everything to pieces.”

Known as real road dogs, BACKYARD BABIES will go on tour right after the album release in April. “We have never been this anxious to hit the stages again, cause playin’ live is the only fuel this band needs to keep on being the counterweight in a fucked up business.” Pleased to meet you…
