Backyard Babies set to release Abacus debut

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. Never resting on their laurels, the Babies have a new album (their first for Abacus Recordings) brimming with confidence and their patented throwback rock flair. Produced by Nicke Andersson, guitarist of The Hellacopters, the new album, titled "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 a more 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 intense and under a shorter period than ever before. A challenge that proved to be just positive since you don't have time to analyze everything to pieces." You can listen to partial tracks of the entire album and see a clip from the first video, "The Mess Age (How Could I Be So Wrong)", on the brand new Backyard Babies website. Known as real road dogs, the Backyard Babies will go on tour right after the album release (May 6th in the U.S.) first hitting Scandinavia, UK and Europe during spring and summer, and then making their way to the United States, Japan, and Australia in the fall. The band: "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."
