Backyard Babies have ended their self-imposed hiatus and have returned to the studio with a new album next year due out next year.
The Swedish sleaze rockers called time on the band back in 2009 with guitarist Dregen telling Classic Rock they needed a break after 20 years – 10 of which he said were at an intense level.
