Sven Larsson started his recording career as a guitar player back in the late 90s, ever since he recorded four studio albums with the critically accaimed Swedish Progressive Rockers Galleon and two with the AOR-Meets-Prog outfit Xinema. His best known work so far can be found on the albums of the Swedish Westcoast AORsters Street Talk. Sven joined main songwriter and keyboarder Fredrik Bergh (Bloodbound) and singer G\u00f6ran Edman (Madison, Glory, Yngwie Malmsteen, Brazen Abbot) in 2000 for their second album \u201cTransition\u201d and so far he has recorded a total of four albums with them, including one compilation CD. <\/p>\n

Two years have passed since his solo debut \u201cSunlight And Shadow\u201d, a time during which Sven worked on the songs for his sophomore record and he also became an in-demand session player for high profile AOR projects like Lionville and Coastland Ride and the soon to be released albums of Sapphire Eyes and Charming Grace.<\/p>\n

In the spring of 2012 Sven completed the work on “Bad Mad Man”, his solo album number 2. Some of the tracks are again featuring his colleagues from Street Talk, Fredrik Bergh (keyboards), Bj\u00f6rn Lodmark (bass) and Christian Johansson (drums) and also the voice of Street Talk, G\u00f6ran Edman can be heard on the straight forward rocking “Sin City” and the atmospheric piece “Missing Link”. Vocalist Thomas Eriksson was already in the line-up of Sven’s debut, while Anders \u00c5hlund debuts on lead vocals on two tracks and paying a visit from the Galleon camp are Ulf Pettersson and G\u00f6ran Fors. “Bad Mad Man” is a genre-twisting cauldron of well written rock songs, with a fine sense for melodies and harmonies and showcasing the excellent skills of Sven and his fellow musicians.<\/p>\n
