Everybody who really knows Mando Diao, also knows that they are known as one of the best Rock Bands nowadays.
Each Album is a new Chapter in their bandhistory and they are a always changing band.
Give me fire is a very contended, but special Album! They show a new side of them, a very great side! And after Hits like Dance with somebody and Gloria, Mean Street is the third Single from this Album.
If you ask me, Mean Street sounds a bit oldschool, bit that is what I love! From the first time I heard that song I just loved it! And I'm really happy to have now a Singel where Gustaf Norèn is the lead singer, after Gloria and Dance with somebody where we heard Björn Dixgard as lead singer.
I saw a lot Mando Diao concerts 2009 and I heard Mean Street at each one. So I can say that it's a really great live song, it's just a "partysong" to jump up and down and it gives you a "summerfeeling".
So it was just logical that I bought the EP! The B-side "Wintertime" is also just great! It's perfect for the wintermood and a beautiful ballad.
I can advise the Mean Steet EP to everyone who loves Mando Diao, but also to everyone who likes good Rock music with a touch of the 60's. Mando Diao is a great band and it's so much more than just Dance with somebody! Take some time and listen to the other songs, you will see Mando won't disappoint you!
