BACKYARD BABIES return with their highly anticipated 6th studio album ‘Backyard Babies’ through Spinefarm Records UK on August 18th 2008. With 20 years of hard rocking behind them, BACKYARD BABIES have not only developed into one of Sweden’s best loved bands but they have stamped their mark on the world – with an impressive catalogue and a fearsome live reputation.

The self-titled latest offering was recorded during 90 days and nights in Polar and Big Island Sound studios in Stockholm with producer Jacob Hellner (Rammstein). From lead single, the sleazed out scuzzed up rock of “Drool” to no nonsense album opener ”Fuck Off And Die”, from punk-ed up “Zoe Is A Weirdo” to the self explanatory “Back On The Juice”, from the Pistols-esque “The Ship” to the acoustic instant classic of  “Abandon”, this is a band at their very best…

The album is packed with taut rhythms overlaid with driving guitars and the unique vocal take of Nicke Borg. Lead guitarist Dregen states “This record feels most like Backyard Babies. It was about time that we finally make an album that has all the ingredients that a classic rock album should have!”

An established live draw, BACKYARD BABIES will be touring the UK in support of “Backyard Babies” album this September. Expect the unexpected….
