"Shut Up!", the new video from Swedish hard rockers THE POODLES, can be seen below. The song comes off the band's fifth album, "Tour De Force", which was released on May 17 in Europe and May 22 in North America via Frontiers Records. "Tour De Force" is the eagerly awaited follow-up to THE POODLES' Swedish No. 1 album from 2011, "Performocracy". Behind the wheel, taking on the duties of producer for a fourth time, was Mats Valentin and once again, the band wishes to underline with the album title their superb entertaining abilities both as a hard-rocking studio unit and as live act. "When writing and creating music, we try to do something that we would love to listen to ourselves. It's always been important for us to do music close to our hearts," said bass player Pontus Egberg. "I do feel, however, that there's a newly found playfulness about a lot of the tracks. I'm not quite sure what it is myself, but it's great!"With songs like "Shut Up", "Happily Ever After", "Kings And Fools" and "Going Down", THE POODLES stay true to their legacy of powerful, melodic metal while at the same time stretching into a new, more playful arena, flirting with influences from the past but always with a watchful eye on the present and in to the future.
