In vocalist Emil Ekbladh, Sweden’s Dirty Passion have a singer with a sound that is reminiscent of the early ‘90’s albums by that better known Swedish band Europe. This is not a bad thing but it is an observation that became apparent within the first few notes of opening track “This Is The Way”.

 

On the whole “Different Tomorrow” has a natural feel to it and the songs are melodically strong. “Rockin’ In The Night” is another Europe style track, “Selling Your Soul” has a great guitar solo from Christopher Olsson  on it, whilst “Self Destruct” and title track “Different Tomorrow” are also well worth a listen.

 

It is by touring that Dirty Passion will make a lot of friends and the band have already toured Europe with Faster Pussycat and Enuff Z Nuff, have also supported the likes of Saxon, Y&T and Crashdiet, and they recently completed a full US tour with Japanese band Loudness.

 

“Diffreent Tomorrow” is a good debut album and one that should lead on to bigger things for the band.
