Swedish rockers Backyard Babies celebrate their 30th anniversary with the release of their eighth studio album, Sliver & Gold, which will be issued in North America on March 15 via M-Theory Audio. The record - which was produced by the legendary Chips Kiesbye (The Hellacopters, Graveyard, Michael Monroe) - is now available for pre-order on white vinyl (limited edition 300 copies) and CD, here.

Elsewhere, Sliver & Gold will be released tomorrow, March 1st, via Century Media Records. Pre-order here, and watch an unboxing video below:

The new album will contain 10 sizzling new songs following the exact same recipe that has made Backyard Babies one of the most consistent rock bands of our time: A perfect balance between sleazy, punky, all-out party rock and roll on the one hand, and decidedly mature, thoroughly melancholic tunes on the other.

While catchy sing-a-long smashers like the first single “Shovin’ Rocks”, album opener “Good Morning Midnight”, the anthemic “Bad Seeds” or “44 Undead” will have you fist-pumping and footstompin’ along with your left foot in a cowboy boot and your right paw in a Chuck Taylor sneaker, the beautiful ballad-like album closer “Laugh Now, Cry Later” will cause you to shed a tear or two into your Jack and Coke.

Physical copies of Sliver & Gold will also include five bonus acoustic versions of songs from the group's storied past - "Th1rt3en Or Nothing", "A Song For The Outcast", "Highlights", "Star War", and "Nomadic".
