TWO YEARS HAS passed since Sweden..s, perhaps finest, hard rock band, Malmö based BONAFIDE, released their debut album. And a bit more than a year since their triumphant show on the main stage at the 2008 Sweden Rock Festival.
BONAFIDE was formed by singer/guitarist (and awesome drummer for Jason & The Scorchers) Pontus Snibb and rock solid bassplayer Michael Nilsson in Malmö, southern Sweden, in 2006. Pontus, who had already made quite a name for himself playing with countless well known artists on the Scandinavian blues and rock scene, wanted to broaden his musical horizon by turning the volume to 11 and play hard rock the way it..s supposed to be played - True to it..s roots in the electric blues and early R..n..B. Enter Mikael Fässberg, guitarist (Paul DiAnno, ex Nazareth guitarist Manny Charlton etc) and Sticky Bomb, drummer with an attitude, and the quartet was complete.
Since then the band has been busy playing the Scandinavian club and festival circuit, and has also supported Mustasch, Deep Purple, Status Quo, Y&T, The Quireboys and countless of other acts in arenas and theaters.
In January 2009 BONAFIDE locked themselves into Musicamatic studios (Soundtrack of our Lives, DAD) in Gothenburg, Sweden with acclaimed producer Chips Kiesbye (The Hellacopters, The Nomads, Millencollin) and began to record their second full length album, titled “Something..s Dripping”, soon out world wide through Black Lodge Records. When released it will be BONAFIDE..s first properly distributed release outside of Scandinavia.
As always BONAFIDE delivers blues and R..n..B based full throttle rock..n..roll, No holds barred. Chips Kiesbye has added his brilliant production skills to the formula, and you seldom hear guitars this beefy or vocals with this much pure attitude and bravado.
Main songwriter and front man extraordinarie, Pontus Snibb shares writing credits with fellow guitarist Mikael Fässberg on two of the album..s 11 tracks. This, plus the fact that the whole group nowdays contributes to the creative process, has added a new dimension and a slightly different angle to BONAFIDE..s simplistic, yet innovative and fresh take on classic hard rock. Mia Coldheart of Swedish metal queen..s Crucified Barbara also appear on the album, in the duet “Straight Shooters”.
LITE MER ÄN ett år har passerat sedan BONAFIDE stod på Sweden Rock Festivals största scen och spelade inför över 10.000 besökare.
Halvåret innan, i september 2007, släppte bandet sin självbetitlade debutplatta. En platta som vittnar om ett hårt rockband redo att ta den tyngre rocken tillbaka till sitt ursprung. Blodfylld, svängig rock med båda fötterna begravda djupt i myllan, men med siktet inställt på de stora scenerna.
Debuten mottogs väl av en i stort sett enig publik och kritikerkår, som uppskattade BONAFIDE:s "No Bullshit"-attityd. Efter 16 månader på vägarna, otaliga klubbgig och supportslots till bl a Deep Purple, Status Quo, LA Guns och The Quireboys, gick bandet i januari 2009 in i Musicamatic-studion i Göteborg med producenten Chips Kiesbye (The Hellacopters, Nomads, Sahara Hotnights) och teknikern Henryk Lipp (DAD, Thåström m fl) för att spela in uppföljaren "Something..s Dripping" som släpps den 18 september.
Huvudsaklige låtskrivaren Pontus Snibb delar denna gång låtskivarcredits med Mikael Fässberg på två av plattans elva spår, och hela bandet har varit aktivt beträffande såväl arrangemang som låtval, något som bidragit till en breddning av bandets sound och gett BONAFIDE en större kreativ plattform. Mia Coldheart, från Stockholms metalldrottningar Crucified Barbara, medverkar också på plattan, i duetten "Straight Shooters".
Something..s Dripping innehåller elva låtar som visar elva sidor av ett band med tydligt sikte mot en publik redo för riktig, svettig rock, spelad av riktiga musiker.
This is probably Christopher Lee's last album: he will be 88 soon - although with his energy, he might well reach 100!! :)
