Mando Diao rank as one of Sweden's most successful musical exports ever; working class heroes with guitars that have blazed their way out of their hom= e country's snow-covered industrial hinterland to a worldwide audience.
They've preached their blue-eyed garage-soul gospel everywhere from the Conan O'Brian show on network TV in New York to a headline slot at the groundbreaking Beijing Pop Festival in 2007.
Having sold over a million records international (multiple gold albums in Sweden, Germany and Japan) Mando's newest work sees them take the garage rock template they created in a basement in Borlenge, Sweden and refine it to a cinematic new height.
Playing over 150 gigs a year Mando Diao honed their live show to one of the greatest garage-soul shows on earth. UK album 'Give Me Fire!' is released on Monday 5th October, single 'Dance With Somebody' is out on Monday 21st September.
