CD Digipak Backyard Babies – Them XX

Celebrate two decades of high-octane sleaze rock with Them XX, the comprehensive "Best Of" compilation from Sweden’s notorious Backyard Babies. Released in 2009 via Billion Dollar Babies to mark the band’s 20th anniversary, this collection captures the raw energy of a lineup that has remained remarkably unchanged since 1989: Nick Borg, Dregen, Johan Blomquist, and Peder Carlsson.

Sourced from across their six-album back catalog, Them XX is an essential retrospective of a band that mastered the intersection of punk, glam, and hard rock. From their 1994 debut Diesel and Power to the breakthrough success of Total 13, this compilation showcases the band’s signature sound—described as a "mesmerizing blues/punk car crash" and a "sensory overload of jagged rock nuggets."

• Electric Suzy: The standout single from their debut, blending bluesy grit with punk attitude.
• Highlights: A chaotic, tunefully aggressive track featuring a legendary "axe solo."
• Look At You: An incendiary 3-minute anthem that helped propel the band to international notice.

Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their "sizzling, spiky, and irreverent" style, Them XX serves as the definitive European testament to the Backyard Babies' enduring legacy in the rock underground.
