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 acclaimed 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. 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), Björn Lodmark (bass) and Christian Johansson (drums) and also the voice of Street Talk, Göran Edman can be heard on the straight forward rocking ,,Sin City" and the atmospheric piece ,,Missing Link". 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.
