Tears - Tears (2022)

Tears broke many gender barriers and was the first band with make-up and
glitter stage clothes on guys in Sweden and this at a time when prog music
in the country put an inhibiting hand on all other music. The band was
inspired by British and American glam rock. For example, David Bowie, Marc
Bolan and Sweet.

Tears was also the live band that became a forerunner in Swedish hard rock,
the band made the turnstiles in folkparks spin wildly in the 70s, the
audience flocked to clubs and cheered, danced and sang and the pop
magazines reveled in the band's stardom. Many attendance records still
stand today. Probably Sweden's most famous, unknown band.

Wild Kingdom and Sound Pollution now release a remastered version of Tears'
first album, the 1974 self-titled classic Pink album - an album of
world-class Swedish glam rock. The disc also contains the new bonus track
"Gold Digger" which, just like the album, contains high-class vocals, good
pop melody and heavy rock in the same luxurious case. Exactly what Tears
excelled during the fifty-four years the group existed.
