Satan Takes A Holiday release new single Gettin’ Away with Murder — featuring Nicke Andersson (The Hellacopters, Imperial State Electric, Death Breath)
Sweden’s high-voltage rock outfit Satan Takes A Holiday return with a brand-new single, Gettin’ Away with Murder — a scorching reinterpretation of a forgotten gem by Australian glam rock band Baby Grande, active between 1975–1977. With their signature fusion of garage grit, punk urgency, and heavy grooves, the band breathes new life into this obscure track, transforming it into something raw, magnetic, and undeniably their own.
Adding to the firepower is none other than Nicke Andersson (The Hellacopters, Imperial State Electric, Death Breath, Entombed), who delivers a blistering guest guitar solo — a stamp of rock’n’roll authority that makes the track impossible to ignore. The band shares the story behind the cover:
“We're all life long crate-diggers and once in a while you come across something as special as Australia’s Baby Grande and this lost banger. To be able to do it justice we reached out to the biggest connoisseur of lost rock gems we know, Nicke Andersson (the Hellacopters, Entombed etc). His reply was swift and enthusiastic and within 24 hours the song was completed by a blistering guitar solo — so undeniably Nick Royale — and we couldn’t be happier with the result.”
Gettin’ Away with Murder follows the band’s bold take on You’re the One That I Want and marks the next glimpse of their upcoming covers album Covering Our Tracks, due in 2026.
With a reputation as one of Sweden’s most electrifying live acts and a track record of support from BBC 6 Music (including Iggy Pop), Sweden’s P3 and Bandit Rock, and praise from Classic Rock, Louder Sound, and Rock Hard, Satan Takes A Holiday continue to push boundaries and celebrate rock’s wild, untamed spirit
