Killing songs: Payback & Painkiller (no! not a Judas Priest cover)
Fans of AC/DC and The Offspring's, THIS is for
you.
This Swedish (again !!!) hard rock/punk band knows how to write hits
and this Making Enemies Is Good is full of good songs. The title
has been chosen by the band for the "excellent relation ship"
they had with their previous label (hehehe).
Just listen to Payback or I Love To Roll and your soul
will fly at the speed of light to California : yes you are in your favorite
racing car and a beautiful girl is showing you that life is simply wonderful
!!!! Rock 'til death.
Much more heavy and also less punk compare to The Offspring's,
Backyard Babies will "score" your heart with songs
like Colours, Star War (yes, without the "s" at the
end), The Clash and many many others. However, do not misunderstand
me here : my comparison with AC/DC comes from the groovy rock
'n' roll feeling each song delivers and not from the typical style of
the famous Australian hard rock band. AC/DC is AC/DC and
Backyard Babies doesn't not copy the legendary hard rock band
at all !!!
If you remember Pretty Boys Floyd or Poison, let's say
that Backyard Babies follows their path ... A nice surprise for open
mind rockers out there. Give it a try ... it won't kill you !!!
