  • Count Me Out

    FRO044

    Artist: The Flaming Sideburns

    Label: Bad Afro Records

    "Count Me Out" was our favourite song on the latest The Flaming Sideburns album “Keys To The Highway” from the start. So it made sense to choose this groovy mid-tempo rocker for this single. B-side is the exclusive "Glad To have You Back" - a scorching cover of the Union Carbide Productions song taken from their 3rd album "Financially Dissatisfied Philosophically Trying" from 1989. Originally released as 7” vinyl.

  • Back To The Grave

    AFROLP028-AFROCD028

    Artist: The Flaming Sideburns

    Label: Bad Afro Records

    The Flaming Sideburns returned to Bad Afro with this new 12-song compilation called Back To The Grave. The compilation is the first Bad Afro release from the Flaming Sideburns since their classic album Hallelujah Rock'n'Rollah from 2001. An album that still stands as one of the highlights that came out of the Scandinavian rock'n'roll boom.

    The Flaming Sideburns started out as a house band for the regular Bama Lama Parte-e-e in 1995 doing mostly covers of hits from the 60’s. The Bama Lama soon became a big success in Helsinki and the band started to write their own material grooving on the Detroit sound (MC5 & Stooges) meets early Rolling Stones and the North West sound of The Sonics and Wailers.

    Their debut 7” was released on a local label and a copy ended up at the Bad Afro office in Copenhagen which soon led to the release of the Get Down or Get Out single in 1997. In the following years The Sideburns released two albums, four singles, a mini album as well as the split release with The Hellacopters on Bad Afro. The albums were later licensed out to other countries covering the US, Australia, Spain, Finland, Germany and Argentina.

    The Back To The Grave compilation features 8 unreleased songs recorded around and between Hallelujah Rock’n’Rollah and Sky Pilots, two vinyl-only b-sides from the Hallelujah Rock’n’Rollah sessions, two hard to get compilation tracks and a storming tribute to the late Kike Turmix on Bamalama featuring Michael Monroe (taken from a b-side ...

  • Hallelujah Rock'n'Rollah

    AFROLP011-AFROCD011

    Artist: The Flaming Sideburns

    Label: Bad Afro Records

    Bad Afro Records is proud to introduce the debut album by The Flaming Sideburns outta Kallio, Helsinki. After four European tours, one US tour, countless shows in Scandinavia and festivals like Roskilde Festival, Hultsfred (twice the same year), Gearfest (twice), Adios Moshable and Garageshock they had earned themselves the well deserved moniker of the "wildest rock'n'roll show around". This status was only build on obscure sold out vinyl releases and several bootlegs and yet there was a serious hype going about these guys. The split CD/10" release on Bad Afro with The Hellacopters in 2000, "White Trash Soul", did not hurt them either. But in 2001 it was time for the real deal!

    Los Flaming Sideburnos have SOUL to spare on Hallelujah Rock'n'Rollah!! Nobody can incorporate the sounds of Motor City, Rolling Stones, tough R&B, soul and Northwest garage like Sideburns. They simply take everything that is cool about 60's/70's rock'n'roll and soul, cram it together and spit it out in a updated version that is very much their own. That goes for the first radio single "Loose My Soul", gritty rockers like "World Domination" and "Blow The Roof" over more laidback stuff like "Flowers" (featuring Ebbot and Ian of Union Carbide Productions/Soundtrack Of Our Lives fame on backing vocals and additional guitars) to the soulful duet "Sweet Sound of L-U-V". "Hallelujah Rock'n'Rollah" consists of 11 very varied songs and one thing is for sure, there is passion and energy in every note!!

  • White Trash Soul split 10"

    Artist: The Flaming Sideburns

    Label: Bad Afro Records

    Three The Flaming Sideburns songs taken from the White Trash Soul split EP with The Hellacopters. The Flaming Sideburns present two of their own songs, Emotional Son and Shake-in, where they sound like they have a high powered combination of rocket fuel and rock'n'roll in their veins. The third song is a cover of Psyched Out And Furious from Payin' The Dues, the second The Hellacopters album, and here they certainly set things straight! Originally released on 10” vinyl and CD EP.
