Here to save us all-- from this sad state of affairs that is the Popular music culture in 2003? And how exactly to do that-- free passes aboard the intergalactic fantasy flyer double timing down the deserted highway of indeterminacy and relive another 1978? Okay, I'll take the ride, but I got news, 25 years ago wasn't exactly a hot bed of heavy music -- sure you had faces and names and what some might've called "style" but the real excitement didn't come till about five years later. Backdraft to anyone with some degree of musical pulse sounds like anything but what they are -- a bearded, bombed out, bare-chested, bell bottomed Blues/Rock and Boogie prototype that recalls the handful of history-making heavies of the time that've since bloodied the annals of Rock's greatest tragedy dancers doing the occasional summertime cash out. And finally realizing that after the fuzz FX lose their luster, it's the return to that plug and play formula where plodding double fretted riff runs, Southern drawl, and sun downed and funky free play restore the hopes that the Allman's and Argent's and Skynyrd's and Grand Funk's and Superchunk's and who the hell else ever made a habit of burning incense, bones, and rubber in the day, meant fucking good at playing -- I mean, listen to "Wicked Man" and it's classic rock regurgitated a hundred fold! But it grooves. Contrarily, Backdraft isn't some sudden Stockholm-bore breakthrough leading us back down the path of seventies' super rock salvation -- in fact there are several lesser knowns that have already laid their claim, but then again, laying claim to a fistful of empty still amounts to as much. But the key is, where are they now and can they pull off and capitalize on this sudden fondness for another Atlanta Rhythm Section roundabout? It ain't so much about getting "stoned" as it is about what you can do with the tiredness of the three-chord jump and grind. I could get bored of this shit real easy after about four tunes in. Spiritual Beggars made a real go at recreating the denseness of the day with their last and gave it an extra pound of big balls and black light effects! But alas, these boys come armed with their very own Hammond and suddenly, there's a new worth of welcome churn and burn to a handful of faithfully inspired ballads like "See You Burn" and "Goddamn Man." I'll take Turbonegro over these guys in a second and truth be told, you can't listen to this record and not also think about these late-'80s pretty boy by-products that decided to get tough a little too late; It's simply the difference between radiance and dark matter. So since C.O.C. seems to be losing favor recently and the big footed, lead belly types never go out of style, Backdraft's got a good shot with road weary renegade rednecks. But damn, "Hillbilly Blues" to end the record sounds awfully silly!

BACKDRAFT offers their brand of Blues Rock that takes a little bit from U.S. Southern Rock artists like LYNYRD SKYNYRD. It's good to hear a band that isn't following the Stoner Rock scene or Doom Metal scene that is avant garde to BLACK SABBATH.

"Convoy" is a Rock/Blues jam with cowbells and a southern drawl that sounds like they're directly from Alabama, but provide a solid beat that will have your boots stomping at the local biker bar. "Wicked Man" has a bit of the Zakk Wylde touch that would probably have him grinning from ear to ear.

While this may not be for everyone here, BACKDRAFT offers something that is not done all too often and it good to hear. Sweden has once again gave us a nice import. Continue to jam boys! (Online March 6, 2003)

Strange but true. Traditional Southern blues based Stoner Rock out of Scandinavia. BACKDRAFT was formulated in Stockholm by Jonas Åhlén ('Reverend Sorethroat') of Thrash Metal act ANTICIPATION and left handed guitar player Robert Johansson in late 1997. They would be joined by drummer Fredrik Liefvendahl (a.k.a. 'Trizze Trash') and second guitarist David 'Snejken' Nordlander, billing themselves MORNINGWOOD. Two demos ensued and various line-up changes, including Liefvendahl journeying on to GRAND MAGUS, saw the unit evolve into BACKDRAFT with the addition of bass player Mats Rydström of LORD ROSSE and SUPERAPES and drummer Niklas Matsson from KILLER BEE.

As BACKDRAFT the band debuted with a self-financed EP 'The Goddamn Man' issued in October of 2000. Promoting this release included a heavy gig schedule across Sweden before signing to Lunasound Recordings for the Per Wikström produced 'Here To Save You All' album. Promotion copies of the record included a cover version of WHITESNAKE's 'Child Of Babylon', from the band's 'Sucking In The 70s' compilation album contribution, as a bonus track. ...

This Swedish group's brand of music is easy to label initially, but at the same time it's hard to close the case on it. Basically, Backdraft is a bluesy rock band that fits in conveniently in the stoner categorization. But it's not heavy and sludgy like Electric Wizard, nor do its riffs ever scream Sabbath rip-off. Rather, Backdraft plays some sort of warm, blues-based, 70s influenced rock that's relatively not that heavy and generally "nice." The songs are good, and the singer is quite talented (giving the listener an idea of what Lee Dorrian of Cathedral might sound like if he could actually sing), but there's something lacking in this album that makes me not feel all that up to going back to. Are Backdraft wanting for urgency? Flavor? Character? I don't know. The music doesn't suck, and fans of this genre are encouraged to look into this, but for a mere dabbler like me, this album isn't strong enough to really get my attention.
