Nothin' nasty about this killer release!

"Leave it to Sweden to show the rest of the world that the spirit of real rock & roll music is alive and well. While American radio obsesses over the latest moody Coldplay single, Sweden keeps serving up pure, fun, rock & roll bands like Crashdiet, Hardcore Superstar, Hell n' Diesel, and of course Babylon Bombs.



Doin' You Nasty is the band's second album, and while it was originally released at the end of 2006 in Japan (proving once again that the Japanese appreciate good music more than the rest of us), it is finally seeing the light of day in America thanks to Locomotive Records. The best comparison to Babylon Bombs' highly melodic Sunset Strip-inspired rock & roll sound is probably American Heartbreak, but you can hear elements of classic Motley Crue and L.A. Guns as well. This is very catchy stuff, and is downright fun to listen to.



I understand that there is a need for rock music that is intellectual, or artsy, or introspective, but sometimes you just want a rock & roll album that makes you want to call up your friends, hit the bars, and have fun. That's what Doin' You Nasty is all about. If you've been missing the kind of rock that puts a smile on your face, do yourself a favor and check out Babylon Bombs. They're part of a rock & roll revival along with bands like Airbourne, Black Tide, Endeverafter, Dirty Penny, and Stone Rider, and are giving fans of real rock & roll music a lot to be happy about.
