\"\"<\/a>What do you want from your rock and roll? Uh you yes I\u2019m talking to you. Do you want loud guitars with about 30% Chuck Berry riff-a-rama and about 30% AC\/DC\u00a0 another 30% punk rock attiude like The Ramones and 10% stubbourness and a middle finger fuck you we\u2019re doing it our way or no way at all.\u00a0 Well, if that\u2019s what your looking for then might I introduce Backstreet Girls a rock and roll band from Norway.\u00a0 Who are on their umpteenth album and something of Rock and Roll royalty in their homeland and so they bloodywell should be.\u00a0 They do what they do and do it exceedingly well they don\u2019t follow fashions they just get on with what gets them off and that\u2019s the deal they don\u2019t experiment they just write the best songs they can at the time and kick the shit out of their equipment to get the best songs laid down.\u00a0 They sing about birds, Booze and back beats oh and cars, fights and good times.\u00a0 Like I said what else do you want?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Petter Baarli knows every chuck Berry lick off by heart and duck walks like a good un and on songs like the rapid \u2018where Have All The Bad Boys Gone?\u2019 they pose the questions.\u00a0 The don\u2019t offer the answers or come up with solutions that\u2019s not what they\u2019re about but fuck me sideways they do it exceptionally well and boy does it sound good when they hit full tilt.<\/p>\n

They can marry boogie with some Ramones punk not the 50\u2019s melodies and they\u2019re not tipping the hat to the shagri las but they\u2019ve stolen the good beats and guital riffs and with Bj\u00f8rn Muller they have the perfect 40 a day whisky swigging razor blade vocals that have the warm edge but boy is it a marriage made in hell as they instinctively feed off one and other to deliver the best boogie rock and roll anywhere right now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its not all top down cruising round at breakneck speed waving their middle finger in the air, as \u2018Phenomenal\u2019 is laid back and grooving because they can but hold on to your ladies \u2018Status Quolity\u2019 is up next and it sounds like Motorhead found a quo songbook down the back of some backstage sofa and dusted off a few bars for themselves, oh, and that slide is Joe Perry tastic. They\u2019ve brought us wild women and bad bad boy7as in the past but this album is rock solid and there isn\u2019t a weakness anywhere throughout the twelve tracks.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Wild Wilder\u2019 is down and dirty with a chorus you\u2019ll be joining in with and punching the air with plenty of verve knowing you\u2019ve just been given another quality lesson in bad boy boogie with Oslo\u2019s finest.\u00a0 I\u2019d love to see these boys land a big tour and take their tunes to the masses and kick thousands of backsides in the process. To finish this one off \u2018Motorhellway\u2019 revs up and speeds off into the sunset.\u00a0 Backstreet Girls have done it again they came they saw they delivered a loud rousing rock and roll fuck you!\u00a0\u00a0 Times might be changing with global politics in the gutter but fuck it lets rock and let \u2018Normal Is Dangerous\u2019 be the soundtrack to the impending Armageddon<\/p>\n
