Not so long ago, a young band from the Swedish town of borlänge came along and conquered the world of rock'n'roll in a surprise coup. Early 2004 saw the arrival of "bring them in", the furious debut by these exceptionally gifted, if somewhat big-mouthed songwriters. And then things happened in quick succession. A new album every year and countless concerts in increasingly large venues. Their albums, "hurricane bar" and "ode to ochrasy" effortlessly made gold in Germany, and their most recent release, "never seen the light of day", which had them experiment with Scandinavian folk music, among other directions, surprised fans and critics alike. Mando Diao have long hit the big time, that much is for certain, and it's just as certain that their new album "give me fire" will continue to increase their standing even further. No song is like the other, yet all of them are typical Mando Diao. And "typical" is synonymous with great when it comes to this band. The first single "dance with somebody" is already a top 5 smash in 5 countries.
