House of Shakira wants to come out and play again.It's now two years since their critically acclaimed album "HoS" hit the market, and the band has been working on a sequel ever since. The seventh studio release marks the second CD with lead singer Andreas Novak, and is accordingly their best album so far. House Of Shakira are a Swedish rock formed by guitarists Mats Hallstensson and Anders Lundstr m that started out in Stockholm around 1991 under the moniker The Station. The mid 1990's saw the band change their name to House of Shakira, named after a London bordello. In their 22 year history the band has released six previous studio albums, all of which have left their mark, making the band one of Sweden's best known musical exports as well as hometown heroes.Their famed debut album "Lint" remains a genre classic. For the band's second album with singer Andreas Novak, the guys collectively concluded that it was time to give the debut a run for its money. The House Of Shakira line-up of Mats Hallstensson (guitars), Anders Lundstr m (guitars), Andreas Novak (vocals) and the blistering rhythm section of Basse Blyberg (bass) and Martin Larsson (drums) locked themselves away in the studio for several months, not emerging until the songs of their new release Pay To Play were completed and a perfect addition to the band's legacy.
