Bio:

SWEDISH GUITAR-STAR Dregen will have his first solo album released via Spinefarm Records in the UK on September 30th!!You´ve seen him, definitely heard him. And if you´re Swedish, chances are even your grandmother knows who he is. Truth be told, if you´re into rock music Dregen simply don´t need a further presentation. However, if you happen to have missed out on Swedens premier rock star – let´s take it from the beginning.Dregen - born Andreas Tyrone Svensson – knew early on that he was meant for something different than a traditional 9 to 5 gig based in the small town of Nässjö, Sweden. Together with childhood friends Nicke Borg, Peder Carlsson and Johan Blomquist he formed what later would turn out to be the pride of his home town – the Backyard Babies.The band decided to go for it and left Nässjö, moving to the capital Stockholm in pursuit of their dream – to take Backyard Babies to the very top. It didn´t take long before Dregen and his mates had earned themselves a record deal and in 1994 their debut album ”Diesel & Power” hit the streets. That very same year Dregen met singer and guitarist Nicke Andersson who at the time played drums with Swedish death metal outfit Entombed. As it turned out they both had a lot in common and out of this new friendship yet another classic Swedish rock band was born – The Hellacopters.The Hellacopters made it big in 1996 with their album ”Supershitty To The Max” (it also won a Swedish Grammy award). It was followed 1997 by the record ”Payin´ the Dues” and they got the great opportunity to tour with legendary KISS. The success of the band quite literally made way also for the Backyard Babies. That very same year marked the release of another Grammy winning album – ”Total 13” – which became the breakthrough of the Backyard Babies. Few have had the pleasure to play in two of the biggest rock groups in Sweden. Even less people have done so simultaneously! By the end of the 90´s Dregen came to realize that however pleasant a situation it may have been, it wouldn´t do anyone good in the long run. Dregen hence soon returned to his roots and carried on his journey with the Backyard Babies. And the rest is, as they say, history. Rock history to be exact.When the album ”Making Enemies is Good” was released in 2001, Backyard Babies definitely ruled the rock´n roll kingdom of Sweden. Having been awarded with yet another Grammy award they toured the world several times and even did a European tour opening up for AC/DC, a feat no other Swedish band to date can match. Since then the band have released a number of EP´s, singles and albums such as “Stockholm Syndrome”, “People Like Us Like People Like Us”, “Backyard Babies” and “Them XX”. The later resulted in a anniversary tour and an indefinite hiatus followed in 2010.But maybe you already know all of the above. However, most people don´t know that Dregen once was auditioning for the role as guitarist with Guns ´n Roses. Or that he´s a talented artist when it comes painting, is one son of a gun at playing poker and reel the big ones in while fishing.In May 2011 Dregen also joined Michael Monroe, from former legendary outfit Hanoi Rocks.Michael on Dregen: Dregen is the perfect choice for this band. We are a group of very strong individuals and we really needed a great personality as a guitar player. Dregen has the whole package together – he’s a killer guitarist, a brilliant showman,looks great and has the right kind of attitude and taste in music.I feel very glad and lucky that he was willing and able to join us. Dregen is a real star and a true rocker at heart. I can’t wait to start rockin’ out with him in the band! You also don´t know how Dregens upcoming solo album sounds like. But in 2013 you, and the rest of the world, is about to find out. At this point we´ve only read the very first pages of Dregens career and no one knows how things will end.

Album:

Of all the rock stars to have graced the planet in the last 20 years, few are as underappreciated as Dregen. Having spent time at the helm of Backyard Babies and the Hellacopters, the guitarist recently put out ‘Horns And Halos’ as part of Michael Monroe’s band, and here we find him solo and in fine form.Here Dregen serves up a high-energy rock ‘n’roll effort that blends elements of his past successes while an army of cohorts, including Monroe’s Sammy Yaffa and Karl Rockfist, his former Hellacopters buddy Nicke Andersson, Titiyo and John Calabrese of Danko Jones, lend their own skills to proceedings.From the two-chord piano undercurrent of opener Division Of Me to the Kiss-influenced Mojo’s Gone, it’s clear that Dregen knows his rock 'n' roll.There’s certainly not the focus of the Hellacopters’ ‘Super Shitty To The Max’ or Backyard Babies’ ‘Stockholm Syndrome’, but you do get a sense of the moves, grooves, ducks and dives that we have come to associate with Dregen.Along the way, guitars sparkle on radio-friendly lead-off single, Just Like That, which recalls recent efforts from Ginger and Victoria Liedtke’s Hey! Hello! project.From start to finish, One Man Army greets your ears like an old friend and worships at the altar of Alice Cooper’s No More Mr Nice Guy, while 6-10 is a funky, sleazy romp. Pink Hearse practically maps out the musician’s epitaph in just over three fetching minutes: “When I die I want a pink hearse. I want a rocket ride with no reverse.” The overall sound of the album might scream retro, but Dregen plays his layered, beefed-up pop collection straight from the heart.
