Respect the Rock America

The Hellacopters

A high-velocity blast of Swedish action rock. Ten tracks of grease-stained garage punk and Detroit-inspired swagger recorded with maximum red-line intensity.

It's like a Detroit muscle car with a Swedish engine and the brakes have been cut.

Relentless, high-octane energy fueled by a love for classic Detroit grit and Swedish precision.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic, feedback-laden opening of American Ruse that sets a breakneck pace immediately.
The heavy, blues-drenched groove of Doggone Your Bad Luck stretching into a nearly seven-minute jam.
The gritty, soulful piano stabs that punctuate the high-speed garage riffs on Gary O’Kane.
