Yes, this is Rock'n'Roll, how it really should be, just imported again from Scandinavia. Truest L.A. Glamrock, made in Sweden, but so hot, that even the inventors of this musical style, in the just mentioned town, become jealous. And I ask myself for the past four years, why this band ain't on the same level like their collegues of the Backyard Babies. Because I tell you honestly, that these necklace and skirt wearing sleaze-punkrock- northern lights are miles better and more explosive then all those Backyard-Hellacopter-Babies together. 
I had the pleasure to have  seen 'em already four three times in the past doing their hula-hardrock-dancing. And every time this dance has been one on a firespitting volcano. Hardcore Superstar are one more guarantee for a trip to hell, - on stage but also off stage in the audiance, which consists of crazy birds of paradise, like the one's up there. But same sort of people like to gather, it's said. So what?
No seriously, this band does understand to combine their speedy rock'n'roll with the right movements up there. And they almost break through the speed of sound, with their visual american exotic look with a nordic charming aura. Got me?!

Bands  like this here, the other two mentioned above and also today's supportact Babylon Bombs are trying to bring back an era, which is past time for quite a while. That's why this performance let's me get back in time starting  in the middle of the eighties and lasting 'till about the middle of the nineties. But with music it's the sam like with fashion. It's hot today and out tomorrow at the average audiance, the fast living musicbusiness and the media of course. 

Only some nostalgic fans from the past, who like to remember and some young freaks, who discovered this music for themselves, dance along, headbanging and stage diving to the tunes of Hardcore Superstar. By the way, this group as well as the Babylon Bomgs enjoy a much higher popularity in their homecountry, not like here, where they still have to play clubs. - What a shame! But as we say so: rather a crowded club than a half empty big venue. So tonight we enjoy the crowded club atmosphere with about 200 fans. The swedes give everything 'till the very last drop of sweat on the New York Dolls -T-Shirt. And the most resonance this lot gets of course for ‚We Don’t Celebrate Sundays’. 

The necklace made of pearls is swinging through the air and the skirt is waving around the sexy legs of the bassist, which are put into whits schoolboy socks and neat boots. The swedish dresscode seems pretty interesting, doesn't it?! These boys here don't seem to be that young anymore, what they look like, as some of them show a little sunshine on their backheads.But I swear, this is the only sign of aging and doesn't take anything off of their beauty. 
Apart from that, - congratulation! This is real hardcore rock'n'roll, straight through the bone and almost no talking inbetween the songs. I luv it. It's not difficult sound, but it carries you away in a fast driving beat hurricane. And support act  Babylon Bombs can really still  learn from them, even the singer has been in a band named Morgana Lefay before this here. 
Anyway, I still think, that playing this Glam.... Sleaze...  - damn it...just simply hard rock'n'roll, a frontman should only hold a microphone in his hands and no additional guitar, taking half the energy of the actual performance. What are guitarists here for hey? But Hardcore Superstar do it exactly right to drive their fans up the wall into madness for a crazy rock'n'roll party - and nothing else.   An underrated but absolut great rockband, that's what they are.....
