Video Premiere: BACKYARD BABIES' 'Th1rt3en Or Nothing'

July 16, 2015

"Th1rt3en Or Nothing", the new video from reunited Swedish sleaze rockers BACKYARD BABIES, can be seen below. The song is taken from the band's forthcoming album, "Four By Four", which will be released on August 28 via Gain Music Entertainment, which is distributed and partly owned by Sony Music.

BACKYARD BABIES officially reunited in 2014, five years after they announced that they were going on an "indefinite hiatus."

Speaking about the meaning behind the "Four By Four" title, BACKYARD BABIES frontman Nicke Borg told Rock 'N' Load: "'Four By Four'. It's, like, BACKYARD BABIES is like a four-wheel truck, you know?! It goes through mud and fucking terrain. And if one wheel, one bandmember, stops working, the three others carry the vehicle."

Nicke also talked about "Th1rt3en Or Nothing", which was released as a single in May. He said: "When we started to play together again and write and talk about this kind of a… well, we don't really wanna call it a comeback… We were looking back at our history and we also tried to understand much more what the fans are obsessed about, what they love about the band, and what we love about the band. So we tried to pack all that stuff into 'Th1rt3en Or Nothing'. It's just a rock and roll tune with a kind of maybe different groovy beat that we had before. There's a lot of cowbell... It's just a rock and roll song, and I'm happy people like it. We were really [trying to figure out], 'What kind of type of song do we want to…?' Because, when you've been away, and the expectations are building up, it felt like whatever we're gonna release, people are gonna get disappointed, because some people want that, and some people want that, and people have different favorite albums throughout the career. But, cross my fingers, a lot of fans seem to team up behind the song, which is really cool."

To celebrate two decades together, BACKYARD BABIES embarked on the "Them XX Tour" in January/February 2010. In addition, they released a deluxe 120-page book titled "Them XX" containing private photos, three CDs and a DVD-documentary that conveys the 20 years of the BACKYARD BABIES story.

The band's last, self-titled album topped the chart in the group's home country in its first week of release. The CD also entered the Finnish album chart at No. 31.
