Info:
The story of Miss Behaviour goes back to 2004. Keyboard player Henrik Sproge and guitarist Erik Heikne were both studying Music Management at the Baltic Business School in Kalmar, Sweden, when the idea of Miss Behaviour first came up. With a great passion for 80's melodic hard rock and AOR, they decided to start the band to express their vision of how a modern rock band, inspired by the great bands of the eighties should sound.The first Miss Behaviour songs where written in a student apartment in Kalmar in late 2004 and ended up at the 3-song EP Give us the world. Miss Behavior worked – and still do with producer / technician Daniel Gese who had a career as drummer / producer with his 80’s metal / sleaze band Pole Position in the late 80s / early 90s.After the debut album »Heart of Midwinter« was released in 2006, Henrik and Erik decided to recruit the new lead singer Sebastian Roos, a quite well known singer in Sweden, with a lot of touring, TV and radio performances and Eurovision song contest on his CV. The breakthrough came with the Album »Last Woman Standing«, released in 2011.In spring 2011 Miss Behaviour competed in Swedish national radio with the song »Till we meet again«, making the première live performance with the current line-up in front of 400000 radio listeners. Joining forces with former Backyard Babies manager Michael Sundén in 2011 the band hit the roads in the UK.Late 2011, after touring the UK with CrashDiet, the album »Last Woman Standing« won the Melodic. net »Best AoR album of 2011« readers poll with 23% of the votes, leaving bands like Journey, Robin Beck, Work of Art and more behind. The reviews were fantastic and the album got top scores in important magazines, such as Classic Rock (UK), Sweden Rock Magazine (Sweden) and more.UK Magazine Classic Rock picked Cynthia as one of the best tracks in 2011, and featured the song on the compilation Classic Rock Buzz. Miss Behaviour returned to the UK on the Smokehead Rocks Tour, playing another 10 dates and finished the tour with a sold out show at O2 Islington Academy in London, Oktober 12th, 2011. In the middle of the songwriting and recordings of the new album Michael Sundén tragically passed, in a horrible accident at venue Rock City, Nottingham. This loss took a while to recover from but finally the brand new album »Double Agent« was finished and received great feedback in the press last year.
Album:
The contemporary AOR bands from mighty Sweden are always on the edge of modernity. I could name DE VAN / DEGREED / ANGELINE and MISS BEHAVIOUR among others to substantiate my theory!Of course the style itself is a very reglemented genre, with a certain orthodoxy, a few essential elements and some obvious choke points –including the lyrics sheets, but when enough modernity and creativity is added you’re in for a surprise. That is clearly the case with the new upcoming MISS BEHAVIOUR’s album, titled “Double Agent”. Another surprising mix of contemporary recipe with archetypal ingredients such as soaring vocals and over the top chorus with huge Mutt Lange backing vocals (“Magical Feeling”) wrapped in the now classic 80′s mood, with it’s typical synth layers and even a few Pomp overtones!I loved their previous record ”Last Woman Standing”, and I had a manic obssesion to boast its merits here and elsewhere, as it was to me the perfect exemple of a criminally underrated album. This album reached my final top in 2011.This time again, the guys from MISS BEHAVIOUR are doing the magic trick in the same perfect method displaying, with so much talent, their very own brand of Melodic Hard Rock (“On With The Show” / “Edge Of The World”). Including colors from Pop, Prog and of course a massive dose of exemplar AOR (“Double Agent”/ “Dancing With Danger”) unadulterated by the cynical spirit of the modern times, but still in coherence with the harsh reality (“Cause Of Liberty” ”Corporation Arms”). Everything here is in the right line to run my AOR enthusiastic approval!The closing number “Silver Rain” is simply beautiful with its rich harmonies and its high profile structure, a ballad with an improved atmosphere without any cheesy or bubblegum issue.The bombastic orchestrations are utterly integrated…the best way to close this kind of album full of impressive melodies and harmonies.I think that with this new “Double Agent” the MISS BEHAVIOUR guys are about to convince even the more scepticals AOR specialists that their musical talent is worth buying in the form of an essential little silver platter!
