BONAFIDE are young Swedish band playing old hard rock – simply said. But it's not that exact, much less simple. There are four excellent musicians in Bonafide who, apart from instrumental skills, have also talent for writing great songs. Their music is often compared to AC/DC, but it isn't any imitation. Bonafide are Pontus Snibb (vocal, guitar), Mikael Fässberg (guitar), Niklas Matsson (drums) and former Michael Nilsson has been recently replaced by Martin Ekelund (bass guitar). Their fresh straight music with the strong riffs kick you up and 'fills your head with rock'! Currently they're preparing their third studio album; not only about it I talked with the frontman – singer, composer and multiinstrumentalist PONTUS SNIBB.
