Official press release:
In 2019, Backyard Babies – one of Sweden’s longest-running and most influential hard rock bands – celebrate their 30th anniversary with the release of their eighth studio album, Sliver & Gold, which will be issued in North America on March 15 via M-Theory Audio. The record – which was produced by the legendary Chips Kiesbye (The Hellacopters, Graveyard, Michael Monroe) – is now available for pre-order on white vinyl (limited-edition 300 copies) and CD at this location.
In recent weeks, Backyard Babies has previewed two new tracks from the record, which was described by singer/guitarist Nicke Borg as their “most intense and furious album to date” – the anthemic “Shovin’ Rocks”, and album opener “Good Morning Midnight”, which can be heard here:
Sliver & Gold (which is not a typo, by the way) contains eight additional sizzling new songs following the exact same recipe that made Backyard Babies one of the most consistent rock bands of our time: a perfect balance between sleazy, punky, all-out party rock on one hand, and decidedly mature, thoroughly melancholic tunes on the other.
Sliver & Gold track listing:
- “Good Morning Midnight”
- “Simple Being Sold”
- “Shovin‘ Rocks”
- “Ragged Flag”
- “Yes To All No”
- “Bad Seeds”
- “44 Undead”
- “Sliver And Gold”
- “A Day Late In My Dollar Shorts”
- “Laugh Now Cry Later”
