PRESS QUOTES

"Man, these guys rock! All the energy coming at ya from the speakers makes you wonder just how great these guys are live... The best southern rock album in years, and this from a Swedish band!"
- Stonerrock.com (US)

"The finest Southern Rock album since the passing of Van Zant and the pressing of the first Molly Hatchet album! 9 out of 10. I really can't recommend this album enough. Whether you are into Southern Rock or not makes no difference. This is rock'n'roll with some incredible sweat, guts and talent behind it."
- Customheavy.com (US)

"Sweden's Backdraft are here to save us all.And these cats deliver the GOODS! Backdraft are blending the best of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers and ZZ Top with a fresh, powerful perspective on country rock and soul; blues-based dual lead guitars, raspy, earthy vocals and foot-stompin' rhythms. With their "live-your-life-to-the-fullest", and "have-a-beer-or-twelve" approach, the band is keeping the spirit of southern rock alive."

Roadburn (BeNeLux)

"An absolute must-have for any Southern Rock fan, and for the rest of us it's not exactly the worst thing to buy either. How Backdraft managed to conjure up this amazing spirit in Sweden is and will probably always be a mystery to man."
-
Walls Of Fire (Germany)

"Stories from the streets that would kickstart any biker meeting! In short, if you like earthy, groovy Lynyrd Skynyrd influenced Southern Rock, then you're totally right with this CD, probably want more, and can add one or two points to the score."
- Heavy Oder Was?! (Germany)

"These five guys from the heart of Sweden are ready to rock the stages of the world, cause if someone releases something like this, the next step should be a big world tour to show the world what Rock is like. For me is this CD another highlight of the year. Southern fried Rock with a lot of feelings and emotions, these guys live their stuff and you can hear it."
-
Daredevil (Germany)

"Southern Rock from Sweden, is that possible? The answer is yes! This five piece delivers an album that surely would had fit in the seventies - the glory days of this style. Jonas Åhlén has a great voice to handle this kind of music, and the guitar players David Nordlander and Robert Johansson are a perfect match for each other."

- Lords Of Metal (Holland)

"Swedish five-piece with a geography problem... Music for drunken, long-haired, bearded men to nod their heads to. It's uncertain whether Backdraft will find a wider audience, but then there are a lot of drunken, long-haired, bearded men in the world, so the band should do fine!"
- Kerrang! (UK)
