69 Hard, with bandleader and founder Kalle Metz,
(formally singer in the hardrock band Flegma and the
more gotic/metal band Tenebre), come from Malmö, Sweden.
B. Lundgren left after this album and now plays with the
punk band Mobile Mob Freakshow. This is 69 Hard's second
album. Mr.Metz impresses more in this band than he did
as a singer in former bands. 69 Hard plays high energy
party rock īnīroll. There are some similarities with
some Swedish acts such as The Hellacopters, The Hives,
and The Spitts. In other words, heavy rock īnīroll with
influencies of punk and hardrock. But 69 Hard has their
foundation in rockabilly rock, something that the other
bands lack.

The band has put 11 tracks on this album, and they have
written all the material by themselves. Every song is of
a very high standard and thereīs not a bad song on here.
Some of my favourite tracks include the first single
"Gone, Gone, Gone", (a party-rock track), "One Good Reason"
(more heavy rock nī roll with an incredible sing a long
chorus). "Itīs All Over" is an incredibly beautiful
acoustic ballad with only Kalle and a guitar. "Oh No
(Not Again)" is fast in-your-face rock īnīroll.
"Blues From Hell" was recorded in Varispeed Studios by
Acke who has managed to get the sound and the production
really dirty, just like their music, (in other words, it
sounds really good). There is only one thing to say about
69 Hard, they can go really far!
