Baltimoore is a Swedish rock band, lead by Swedish singer Björn Lodin. Lodin was originally approached by Electra Records in 1987 to record a solo album, but Lodin opted to use the moniker Baltimoore rather than his own name. In 1992, Lodin relocated to Åland, Finland, where he met Bulgarian-born guitarist Nikolo Kotzev. They joined forces for two Baltimoore albums, Double Density and Thought for Food. Due to personal and musical differences, Kotzev left the band in 1994 to start his own project, Brazen Abbot. Baltimoore was then on hiatus until 2000, when Lodin resurfaced with Original Sin. He would move back to Sweden the same year. In 2006, the band ended its relationship with Finnish record label Lion Music to start up their own label, BLP Music, on which their two latest albums, Kaleidoscope and X (both 2006), are released, the later saw the return of Thomas Larsson (ex Glenn Hughes and Six Feet Under) to the band. As of 2007, the band is working on a new album and will appear at Sweden Rock Festival in June 2007. Read more on Last.fm.
