The Backyard Babies reunited in 1997, with a new record contract with MVG Records. They recorded their most-critically acclaimed album, Total 13 . Critics compared the album favorably to the New York Dolls , Ramones and The Damned . They toured the United Kingdom with good response. A single was released from the album, “Bombed (Out of My Mind)”, with the B-side “Rocker” featuring a duet with Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe . Their next single was the self-released “Is It Still Alright to Smile?”. The B-side of the single was a cover of the Faster Pussycat track “Babylon” featuring guest appearances from Ginger of the Wildhearts and Nicke Andersson who had played with Dregen in the Hellacopters. In 1998 the band toured the United Kingdom once more, this time in support of Alice Cooper .
