Bonafide

The Bonafide that audiences recognise today was formed in 2014, when guitarist Anders Rosell joined the band. The current lineup, featuring Pontus Snibb (vocals/guitar), Niklas Matsson (drums), and Martin Ekelund (bass), have released three studio albums – Denim Devils, Flames and Are You Listening? and Live at KB (2019) which not only captured the essence of Bonafide’s sound but also served as a powerful summary of the band’s first six albums. On the album, the band delivers classics like Night Time and Peg Legged Pete, while putting their own stamp on tracks such as Dirt Bound and Fill Your Head With Rock from Something’s Drippin’. But it’s with live renditions of songs like Bottle of Jack, Hold Down the Fort, and Power Down that Bonafide truly shine. The performance on Live at KB underscores Bonafide’s core ambition: to deliver hard rock as it was meant to be played—rooted in electric blues and early rhythm and blues.
