The Diamond Dogs is a Swedish rock band founded in Katrineholm during the early nineties by vocalist Sören 'Sulo' Karlsson and guitarist Anders 'Boba' Lindström.The line-up has changed several times throughout the bands career and has included members from bands such as The Hellacopters, Stefan Sundströms back-up band, Wilmer X, Patti Palladin, Dogs D'Amour, Nymphet Noodlers, Hedros & Hellberg and The Soundtrack Of Our Lives[2] however the band's music has always been rooted in 1970's rock.The band has also toured extensively with bands such as Hanoi Rocks, The Damned, Nazareth, Georgia Satellites, Ian Hunter and The Cult. The band has been especially successful in Italy with crowds of up to ten thousand attending some of their concerts.In 2002 the band teamed up with Swedish punk legend Lennart Eriksson or Fjodor as he was known during his time with Ebba Grön to record a track for a tribute album to Nationalteatern along with The Latin Kings frontman Dogge Doggelito.Currently the band is also recording all of their live shows throughout Spain which will result in a live album later this year.
Album:
One of today’s truest classic rockers, Sweden’s DIAMOND DOGS, are sitting pretty nicely on top of their game with their upcoming new album ”Similar Shakes, Different Distortion”. The recording finds Diamond Dogs delivering their signature blend of swaggering rock and roll, soulful melodies, and timeless songwriting. Fueled by infectious hooks, driving rhythms, and a deep appreciation for real classic rock influences, the album balances raw energy with polished musicianship.By 2026, ”Similar Shakes, Different Distortion” doesn’t really need to be to garner year-end best in show plaudits because the band has seen off the opposition, and stands almost alone as ‘proper’ rock n’roll’s last true testimony to the old ways. On the new songs DIAMOND DOGS return to the motherlode of honking blues, gritty r n’ b and soulful pub rock to create another bleary-eyed masterpiece of paeans to lost love, empty bottles and above all, the redemption to be found through the power of rock n’ roll.Standout track Brass Monkey Weather is the album in microcosm, and if you’ve never heard this band before then there’s no better place to start than here, as frontman Sören ‘Sulo’ Karlsson and company romp through a delicious Stones / Faces interface that’s impossible not to dance to.A cynic might call it derivative, nothing more, nothing less. But a cynic would doubtless miss the sheer, gut-wrenching sincerity with which the song is delivered. This isn’t nostalgia, it’s not a cash grab designed to relieve the misty eyed of their hard earned – it’s an honest attempt to link to the past, to keep memories of the old Gods alive and deliver a rocking good time into the bargain. And it works on every level imaginable – but especially the duck’s-arse-tightness of the instrumental workout that closes the track.Maverick in a Crowd might well be Sulo coming’ over all autobiographical, but I think we can forgive a man with as many stories to tell as him for that, whilst My Heart’s A Cold Case and Stubborn Pony both land beautifully in the folder marked ‘quintessential Dogs’ – and both are worth the price of admission on their own.So there you have it. Consummate professionals often end up sounding a little stiff, a little stilted as they struggle to translate the quicksilver in their soul into living, breathing songs; That’s a criticism you could never level at Diamond Dogs, and there’s an awful lot of living and breathing to enjoy on this splendid album.Wonderful listening once more.
