Diamond Dogs may be a bunch of renaissance rockers deeply rooted in the early 70s British rock and roll, but just like our forerunners, we owe almost everything to Little Richard, the architect of it all! It's impossible to even imagine rock and roll without him.Little Richard is the soul, spirit and passion of the Diamond Dogs lifestyle, and I was six years old when I first heard 'Rip It Up' with love at first feel. The raw energy and the blood screaming lyrics over that manic hammering piano embodied everything I craved in music, straight from the speakers to my young heart. Even if I discovered a lot of other influences later on in life, I always kept Little Richard close to where he once hit me.One of Diamond Dogs' early tunes is called 'Lunatic Eye-Rolling Delivery' which is a line nicked from a concert review of Little Richard, and we believe it sums up the essence of his greatness pretty well. He was much more than a rock pioneer, the way he dressed up and spoke was something the world had never experienced before. Little Richard got Paul McCartney to write 'I Saw Her Standing There', got James Brown a new haircut, and put a silly little mustache on Prince!So, the idea of recording a homage to the true king of rock and roll had been with all of us for many years when Chris Spedding one day called me and asked if we should record something together. Of course, I immediately said yes, and then asked him to join Diamond Dogs in the upcoming studio session to record some well selected Little Richard gems for an LP. All said and done, and Chris was extra thrilled that his favorite 'Send Me Some Lovin'' was among the songs we picked.And on a cold and windy January day we gathered the Dogs and the new old puppy in the sweet premises of Dog Pound Studios, along with our beloved friend and engineer Jonas Åhlén.So, when the room is geared up, we do our melodies as we normally do it, no rehearsals, all live, straight to tape. One hour per track is usually a good thing! An amazing energy and swagger filled the atmosphere as Diamond Dogs and Chris fulfilled my dream.Now that I'm listening through the vinyl, I must say that I've never been prouder of anything we've achieved with this shady bunch so far. It's like walk the full circle, like I've been graduating from the 12-bar rock and roll academy.Sulo, Stockholm/Sweden, 2024Sound Like: The Faces, Rod Stewart, Frankie Miller, Elton John, Mott The Hoople, J Geils Band, The Rolling Stones, Steppenwolf, Little RichardTracklist LP:01.

Finnegan's Hell has spawned a new subgenre within Celtic punk and folk rock by adding influences from hard rock, hillbilly country and Swedish folk. What the press has labeled "The New Wave Of Swedish Celtic Punk", takes no prisoners. With the focus on great melodies and sing-alongs, "One Finger Salute" is an album which will stand the test of time.
