Nachdem BONAFIDE im Herbst 2014 mit Airbourne auf Tour waren und richtig abräumten, erfreuten sie im Februar mit einem neuen Studioalbum.
20.02. BONAFIDE - "Denim Devils" (Off Yer Rocka/Cargo)
Leipziger Volkszeitung: "Denim Devils ein Album ist, dass jenseits der Altvorderen ordentlich Spaß macht."
Good Times: "…haben sich hörbar weiterentwickelt, zeigen aber auch, dass man immer noch mit 80er Hard Rock, Hairspray Metal oder Sleaze punkten kann."
Break Out: "Und so finden sich auf „Denim Devils“ in den einzelnen Stücken die verschiedensten Elemente und Texturen bodenständigen Musikschaffens und machen das Album zu einer abwechslungsreichen und runden Sache. … Es rockt. Und das reicht."
Metal Hammer 5/7: "Hirnzermarterndes Anspruchsdenken mal für ein knappes Stündchen ausgeblendet und einfach pure Rock-Musik genießen."
Rock Hard 7/10: "Fans der Combo freuen sich über eine weitere gutklassige Platte, an der es rein objektiv betrachtet nicht viel meckern gibt."
Slam 7/10: "…verstärkt den Eindruck, dass hier eine eigene musikalische Linie hinter dem Musikgeschehen steht, die Jungs aber einfach riesige AC/DC-Fans und generell Freunde des sehr klassischen Hard Rock sind. Darum behalten sie diese Linie auch bei und verfeinern sie dezent mit eigenen Einflüssen."
Rheinische Post: "Das Kracher-Quartett aus Schweden rockt auf „Denim Devils“ bis der Elch kommt."
Oxmox 4/6: "44 Minuten knackige Unterhaltung für Fans dreckigen AC/DC-Rock´n`Rolls."
E.M.P.: "44 Minuten beste Unterhaltung für Fans von AC/DC-lastigem Rock ’n’ Roll …Locker heruntergerotzte Nummern in dreckigem Sound, die bereits beim zweiten Refrain zum Mitgrölen animieren, den Kopf automatisch nicken und den Fuß mitwippen lassen."
The Swedish road dogs in Bonafide are back with Denim Devils, their fifth studio album, and follow-up to 2013's critically acclaimed Bombo. The new album will be released on the 2nd of February 2015 and paves the way for a spring and summer on the road in Europe.
Bonafide was formed by singer and guitarist Pontus Snibb in Malmö in the south of Sweden in 2006, and released the eponymous debut album the following year. This was followed by festivals and other major gigs, opening for bands such as Deep Purple, Europe, Status Quo, Y&T and The Quireboys. The band has kept touring hard and releasing quality albums ever since, and have since the release of Bombo done over a 100 gigs and festivals, toured the UK, Spain, Germany, their native Sweden and most other corners of Europe.
Denim Devils features twelve newly written songs, penned by main man Pontus Snibb. This time there's a broader sonic spectrum and a more lively production. The album was recorded, just like Bombo, in bassist Martin Ekelund's own studio Lemon Recordings in Klippan, Sweden.
”This record has a tougher live vibe and sound than the previous one, as it was recorded almost live in the studio. We wanted to get as close to a live show as possible, to capture that magic that happens on stage when everything's coming together”, Pontus says.
Early November, the first single Hold Down the Fort was released as a digital EP and first taster of what's to come (and featuring two non-album bonus tracks).
”The single Hold Down The Fort is a straight ahead rocker about always sticking up for someone to a 100 %, never letting them down.”
One Kiss is another stand out track, with its' catchy chorus that sticks in your mind from the first listen – it will be released as the second single this spring, with an accompanying video.
”I recall thinking about Foo Fighters meets Weezer when I wrote that song last spring.”
A few other key songs off the album, that shows the variety in Pontus' songwriting, are Get a Grip with it's Zeppelin-esque sound and the mellow Missing You.
The band has just finished a three week European tour – including nine shows opening up for their friends in aussie rockers Airbourne. This ment performing to packed, 1000+ houses each night, before heading off to their annual appearance at the Hard Rock Hell festival in Wales, and doing a few select headline shows.
And in February, the journey continues…
