Third solo album from Backyard Babies’ frontman, Nicke Borg, co written and produced by Mats Valentin, who’s done the same for Tony Harnell and The Poodles.
Borg is something of an enigma. His band was a significant and influential component of Sweden and beyond’s Sleaze/Punk Rock scene – and still is. Yet, the next thing you hear he’s using his sabbatical from the ‘Babies to enter Sweden’s National Song Contest (he reached the final). I mean, look what happened to Lordi, for God’s sake. So, if you’re expecting a sensory overload of jaggedly tuneful punk, glam and rock, bursts of cataclysmic din and confrontational lyrics, you’ll be disappointed. Ruins Of A Riot falls somewhere between Pop mainstream and reconstructed Rock, occasionally sounding like it’s adrift in no man’s land, yet sometimes straddling both with consummate skill.
