The long-haired headbangers who comprise Backdraft look like a Southern rock outfit of the ‘70s; they look like they could be members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, the Outlaws, or Molly Hatchet. But Backdraft's members aren't from Georgia, Alabama, Texas, or Mississippi -- they're from Sweden, and the band wasn't formed until the late ‘90s. And even though ‘70s Southern rock has been a strong influence on the band, they're far from an exact replica of that era's Dixie rockers. Backdraft's rock is actually post-‘80s alternative metal; like Alabama Thunder Pussy, Brand New Sin, and Hammerlock, Backdraft plays alternative metal with a strong Southern rock influence.
