Liquor And Poker Music has signed Swedish Grammy winners and "sleaze 'n' roll commandos" Backyard Babies. The label reports:

Yes, it has been a long time since the raw power of Backyard Babies' Total 13 was released in the States, and an even longer time since the band unleashed their rock on unsuspecting mothers and daughters here in the U.S. Armed with a new label, a new record and a tour supporting Social Distortion beginning on February 2nd in Las Vegas, the Babies are ready for stateside debauchery and an American rock 'n' roll take over.

Liquor And Poker will release a compilation of tracks from the band's previous three albums (Total 13, Making Enemies Is Good and Stockholm Syndrome) titled Tinnitus. The album will be in stores on April 5th and will include a 16 song label sampler.

Backyard Babies have headlining gigs coming up on February 6th at the Key Club in LA as well as the 13th at Double Door in Chicago. For updated show listings with Social Distortion, check that band's website.
