"Baby Talk"
Friday, 27 February, 2026
The mid-90s found Cheap Trick focused on reclaiming the edges that had been smoothed out of the band's sound for much of the band's run through the 1980s. By 1997, the band took the indie label route after years of major label support finally souring on the Rockford quartet's declining record sales albeit that one shining moment in 1988. Distortion and fuzz were king in 1994, but, following the death of Kurt Cobain, a vacuum was created that the guitar just couldn't fill against the resurgence of corporate pop. So, naturally, this is the perfect time for Cheap Trick to enter the studio with Steve Albini and bash out some dirty, riffy guitar rock. This ain't all talk…it's "Baby Talk".
