BAI BANG - one of the most powerful rock acts from Sweden - features five talented and dynamic rockers called Diddi Kastenholt (vocals), Pelle Eliaz (Leadguitar), Joacim Sandin (Bass), Jonas Langebro (Drums) and Tony Rohtla (guitar). Since the band started some years ago the Bai Bang - members have spent a lot of time together on their tours all over Europe, Canada, Japan and USA. The new video „Welcome to the real world“ is released and has been showed in a couple of TV-channels. In between tours BB are currently writing new songs for the 5th upcoming album. In late 1999 Bai Bang made a tour in Scandinavia with UNION (Bruce Kulick x-Kiss, John Corabi x-Mötley, Jamie Hunting and Brent Fitz) that was considered a huge success. They toured from 2000 on festivals like Sweden Rock, many Club shows and festivals in Scandinavia. In 2001 the band continued to show the Metal lovers what a hardrockin' act they are. This must be mentioned duly in my opinion. They didn´t stopped touring the time and still tours at the moment. They make some shows from October for two weeks in Germany and Italy. Therefore I want to introduce their 4th album „Ridin´High“ here. In 1999 they released this album without Pelle Eliaz and Tony Rohtla, the former guitarist was Birch but he left the band. The Opener „Nice Face“ lets already the right atmosphere arise. Larded with really good reefs brutally with constant bass sounds and exciting drum beats. With the same entitled song „Ridin´High“ of the album they stride at more melodious sounds, but nevertheless still invigorate enough. Then comes the half-ballade „“Only The Strong“. Very clear crying guitars in the beginning, a lovely accusing voice and one beautiful chorus. My personal favourite song is „I Want it“. Very nice hopping sounds from a mixture of guitar-riffs, beat an a great rhythm like swedish Erotica, Treat gene we are used to. Such a really good earwig is and can be listened to again and again. Terrific performance! The beautiful ballad „Littele Child“ also produces Diddis voice clearly and the song reminds strongly of Poisons Every Rose has it´s thorne. With full throttle it goes on with this party song „Lay Down“. The Cover song „Raise Your Fist“ confessed this one comes from Sweden also as is well known from Ole Evenrude. With „Get Off“ they totally arise. Strikes like a bomb. Also „Closer to You“, „Hideaway“ and „F.O.F.D“ deserve some good points. Beautiful catchy chorus and full energy Rockmusic. The crowning conclusion of the album „Should I Stay or should i go“. You must quite clearly stay guys and go on! Go Ahead! Rock Rulzes!
