Early March 2019 saw the release of BACKYARD BABIES’ 8th studio album “Sliver & Gold” and immediately after the band embarked on an extensive European tour that included many sold out shows. The album was met with praise from fans and media alike and the live run of almost 40 dates showed why the band, even after 30 years of existence, is still a force to be reckoned with. In order to make 2020 just as successful a year for BACKYARD BABIES as its predecessor, the Swedes refuse to rest and recorded a new video for the fan favorite song “Yes To All No” (taken from “Sliver & Gold”), which is also being released today as a separate radio single.
Watch the video here:
Furthermore, Backyard Babies are happy to announce two more tours to kick off the new decade in pure rock and roll fashion! The first one is a co-headline tour with fellow Swedish rockers The Bones and support from The Wildhearts. And immediately after they will head over to the UK for a co-headline tour with The Wildhearts on their home turf, supported by cKy, the band of Bam Margera’s brother, Jess.

With the release of their anticipated new studio album “Sliver & Gold“ (on Century Media Records) just one week away, legendary Swedish rockers BACKYARD BABIES are now launching the third single “44 Undead” off of the album along with an official music video for the track. Watch it below:
“44 Undead“ is an anthemic, yet somewhat melancholic tune that showcases a more introverted side of the Backyard Babies, as opposed to the first two party smasher singles off of “Sliver & Gold” so far. Its memorable hook lines are sure to be stuck in your head for a while and have ‘instant fan favorite’ written all over it.
More than three years have passed since their last studio album “Four By Four”, but 2019 sees Nicke, Dregen, Johan and Peder return to celebrate their 30th anniversary in style with a brand new record entitled “Sliver & Gold” which is due to be released on March 1st , 2019 via Century Media Records. In celebration of the bands anniversary Century Media is releasing both limited formats as special editions that will come wrapped in gold foil and include five newly recorded acoustic bonus songs!
“Sliver & Gold” is available in the following formats:
Ltd. CD Digipak
Ltd. LP+CD (incl. LP Booklet)
Digital
“Sliver & Gold” will contain 10 sizzling new songs following the exact same recipe that has made Backyard Babies one of the most consistent rock bands of our time: A perfect balance between sleazy, punky, all-out party rock and roll on the one hand, and decidedly mature, thoroughly melancholic tunes on the other. While catchy sing-a-long smashers like the first single “Shovin’ Rocks”, album opener “Good Morning Midnight”, the anthemic “Bad Seeds” or “44 Undead” will have you fist-pumping and footstompin’ along with your left foot in a cowboy boot and your right paw in a Chuck Taylor sneaker, the beautiful ballad-like album closer “Laugh Now, Cry Later” will cause you to shed a tear or two into your Jack and Coke. What a ride!
The first half of 2019 will also see Backyard Babies back on the road. Below you can see all the dates that have been confirmed thus far:
