Backyard Babies - Stockholm Syndrome
When I think of Swedish rock, this is who I think of. While I wasn’t really a fan of their first two albums Diesel & Power and Total 13, it was their awesome 2001 release Making Enemies is Good that really grabbed me – more on which later. This followup from 2003 does feature one really irritating (to me, anyway) song in “Pigs for Swine”, but that is far outweighed by awesome rockers like “Minus Celsius”, “Song for the Outcast”, “Year By Year”, and the splendid “Friends”. This is gritty hard rock done properly and you should be listening to it right now. SO WHY AREN’T YOU?
TOP TRACK: #2 “Minus Celsius”.
