SOILWORK Frontman Jams with HIGHBALL SHOOTERS

SOILWORK vocalist Björn “Speed” Strid has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

“Songwriting [for the new SOILWORK album] is going great!

“Just wanted to take the time to present a new band that I'm jamming with: HIGHBALL SHOOTERS…

“I guess some of you guys are thinking, what is he doing? Is he addicted to joining new bands? Well, the truth is that I will start cutting down on my other side projects. HIGHBALL SHOOTERS is a band from my hometown that im singing for when there's time, it's basically about jamming and having fun. It's VERY different than SOILWORK, it sounds something like '70s WHITESNAKE, DEEP PURPLE, KISS, RAINBOW and a dose of '70s MOTHER'S FINEST. You can check out the demo on: www.myspace.com/highballshooters. Let's see if you'll recognize my voice.”

SOILWORK's latest CD, “Stabbing the Drama”, is available now on Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to 2003's “Figure Number Five” was recorded at Fascination Street studios in Örebro and Dug-Out Productions in Uppsala, Sweden with producer Daniel Bergstrand (MESHUGGAH, IN FLAMES, STUCK MOJO).
