The first album, Bring ‘em In, put Mando Diao high on the list of “Swedish bands with international potential”. The band has been preaching the Mando gospel on a global crusade, where their eccentric combination of manic energy and persistent melodies has helped build a growing cult of faithful disciples in Europe, USA and especially Japan. With one foot in the tradition of deadly efficient ‘60s pop song writing and the other just as comfortably placed in the sounds of today, Mando Diao is ready to surf in on a second wave with the current album, Hurricane Bar. The band’s shows are a perfect balance of control and anarchy through months of messianic rehearsal. Mando Diao is definitely one of the best live bands currently on the road!
