Mando Diao new single and tour dates

Hot Swedish rockers Mando Diao release You Can't Steal My Love as a single on February 21st 2005 on Majesty. Taken from their forthcoming UK debut album Hurricane Bar, You Can't Steal My Love is an infectious punchy anthem that looks set to invade your fm dial and your senses.

You've either got it or you haven't. It's impossible to define, and equally impossible to fake. You can pretend, but you won't fool anyone for long. Let's not cheapen it by naming it, but we all know when someone's got it. And â€" though you've heard it a million times before â€" here's a band who have got it. But this time they have the form to prove it: Mando Diao have got it in spades, and they're not afraid of letting you know.

Fronted by the prolific songwriting partnership of Gustaf Norén and Björn Dixgård, Sweden's Mando Diao ooze self belief, the kind of charisma that sees them look over their audience's heads as though their sights are always set further and higher. If one of the key qualities of ‘it' is confidence, then it's little surprise that this band have exploded in so many countries around the globe. “If a couple go to a Mando show,” Gustaf laughs, “the girl wants Björn and the guy starts a fight with me. No. The girls want to be with us and the guys want to be us…”

Mando Diao have so far sold over 250,000 records across the world, whipping Sweden and Japan into a frenzy along the way, whilst in America the band have received widespread critical acclaim. Their debut UK album release Hurricane Bar is an unstoppable, urgent record that will hook itself deep inside your mind. Melodic gems punch out with an intensity that burns and shocks in equal measure. With their ambition and conviction Mando Diao has the potential to blow the UK sky high.

Mando Diao return to the UK for a spate of high-octane shows in January, that follow the spectacular shows across the UK in November. Dates are as follows:
