Backdraft

The long-haired headbangers who comprise Backdraft appear to be a Southern rock outfit from the ‘70s; they appear to be they may be associates of Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Best, the Outlaws, or Molly Hatchet. But Backdraft’s associates aren’t from Georgia, Alabama, Tx, or Mississippi — they’re from Sweden, as well as the band wasn’t produced until the past due ‘90s. And although ‘70s Southern rock and roll is a solid influence over the music group, they’re definately not an exact reproduction of this era’s Dixie rockers. Backdraft’s rock and roll is in fact post-‘80s alternative steel; like Alabama Thunder Pussy, COMPLETELY NEW Sin, and Hammerlock, Backdraft has alternative steel with a solid Southern rock impact. Not to end up being baffled with an electronica respond that documented for the 3 Lanka label in the ‘90s, this Backdraft continues to be inspired by Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Best, the Outlaws, and Molly Hatchet, as well as the Scandinavian headbangers are also affected by punk, Dark Sabbath, Corrosion of Conformity, and different alt metallic, therefore the listener gets a number of ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s affects, along with only British lyrics — just like a large amount of Scandinavian rockers, Backdraft creates in English specifically. Backdraft was shaped in Stockholm in 1997, when business lead vocalist Jonas Åhlén (previously from the Swedish thrash metallic music group Anticipation) started dealing with guitarist Robert Johansson. They quickly added drummer Fredrik Liefvendahl, aka Trizze Garbage (who continued to become listed on the music group Grand Magus) another guitarist, David “Snejken” Nordlander, towards the lineup. Originally referred to as “Morningwood,” the music group recorded a demonstration in 1998. After changing their name to Backdraft and going right through some lineup adjustments, they documented an EP known as The Goddamn Man EP in 2000; by that point, Mats Rydström was on bass and Liefvendahl have been changed by drummer Niklas Matsson. The Swedes documented their 1st full-length album, Right here to save lots of You All, in early 2001, when the five-man lineup contains Åhlén on lead vocals and classical guitar, Johansson on electrical lead and tempo acoustic guitar, Nordlander on electrical lead and tempo acoustic guitar, Rydström on electrical bass, and Matsson on drums and percussion. Right here to save lots of You All premiered in Sweden by Lunasound Documenting later that yr, although the recording didn’t turn out in america until 2003 (when it had been provided American distribution because of the Philadelphia-based Abstract USA).
