BACKYARD BABIES (Backyard Babys)

Formed in Nessier, Sweden in 1989. Inspired by HANOI ROCKS, a great senior of Scandinavian rock, he produced a demonstration in 1990. The following year's debut EP "SOMETHING TO SWALLOW" was announced. Contracted with Swedish Megarock Records in 1993, released the 1st full-length album "DIESEL & POWER" in 1994. Shortly after, Dregen formed THE HELLACOPTERS with ENTOMBED Nikke Anderson, and his activities as BYB were suspended. As a member of THE HELLACOPTERS, he created "SUPERSHITTY TO THE MAX!" ('96) and "PAYIN' THE DUES" ('97), and in 1997 Dregen left THE HELLACOPTERS and finally restarted BACKYARD BABIES. Released the second album "TOTAL 13" in 1998. This year, he also performed for the first time in Japan, and became famous as a band that is very popular not only in Western Europe but also in Japan. Completed the 3rd album "MAKING ENEMIES IS GOOD" in 2001, and the second visit to Japan was also realized. In 2003, he released his masterpiece "STOCKHOLM SYNDROME". The band, who supported the AC/DC European tour and gained popularity, won the same year's "Swedish Grammy Awards" on this album. This work is ranked 2nd in the national chart's first appearance in Sweden, his homeland. In 2004, he went to Japan for his third time to appear in SONIC MANIA, and in Western Europe he had experience as a support act for VELVET REVOLVER tours. And in 2005, he released his live album "LIVE IN PARIS" as a culmination as a live band. In 2006, she produced and released her fifth studio album, "PEOPLE LIKE PEOPLE LIKE PEOPLE LIKE US," with Nikke Anderson of THE HELLACOPTERS as producer. The brave figure on the Japan Tour, including "LOUD PARK 06," is also new to my memory. And in 2007, he dropped from a major BMG. They were scheduled to perform in China, including the festival in early May, but due to the Tibet problem, they were suddenly canceled shortly before. And in 2008, his label Billion Dollar Babies Records released his sixth studio album, BACKYARD BABIES, with his band name. Starting in early August, starting with a performance in his homeland Sweden, he left for a European tour until mid-October. He traveled to U.K., France, Germany and other countries. The Japan Tour, which was held in November 2008, ended with great success. However, on November 16, 2009, the 20th anniversary of its formation, Nikke declared the suspension of activities indefinitely in an interview with a local Daily newspaper. From mid-January to mid-February, after touring in Western Europe and Japan, I stopped doing that. During the suspension, Nikke launched a solo project called NICKE BORG HOMELAND and debuted in 2010 with the EP "CHAPTER 1". In 2011, he released the first album "CHAPTER 2" and the second album "RUINS OF A RIOT" in 2013. Johan also participated in the band as a bassist. Dregen joined MICHAEL MONROE in 2011 and released "HORNS AND HALOS" in 2013. In the same year, he also announced his first solo album. In addition, he withdrew from MICHAEL MONROE due to changes in the living environment, such as publishing autobiography and the birth of his son. In May 2014, we announced that we will start making resurrected songs from that summer. In January 2015, he signed a contract with Sony's Gain Music Entertainment, to which HARDCORE SUPERSTAR and others belong. In June, live activities resumed at the "Seiden Rock Festival". He also appeared in "Download Festival" and excites British fans. And in August, he will finally release the resurrection album "FOUR BY FOUR". After pulling the album, he appeared in "LOUD PARK 15".
