LP The BOPPERS: White Lightning

2022 The Boppers celebrate 45 years as a band with a brand-new album.
On «White Lightning» they kind of find themselves back at the start again even if it also means opening new doors.
They»ve collaborated closely with Sulo (singer and front man of Diamond Dogs), musical friend Eva Eastwood (Swedish rockabilly/country star) on the songwriting and let legendary producer Tomas Skogsberg (The Hellacopters, Backyard Babies etc) set the sound.
It kicks off with a riotous cover of Chris Speddings 1975 gem «Motorbikin»» and that sets the bar high for the rest.
But no one will get disappointed. «White Lightning» is an album that shows a band spreading their 45 years of duty and musical knowledge.
Chris Spedding returns the favor by joining them on a Gene Vincent twangy guitar on «Teddyboy»s Are Back».
The Boppers pay their tribute to punk by turning the Generation-x cover «King Rocker» into a jungle hop and Nicke Andersson from The Hellacopters put his mark on the 60»s colored «Callous Rain» and «Motorbikin» with fiery solos.
«White Lightning» is an album where The Boppers prove that they still are a band that matters.
It»s an album for old fans as much as for beginners.
45 years down the road they sound hungrier and more furious than ever.
They keep carrying the torch of original rock n roll with pride and it shines as bright as ever before.
