Description
Following a stellar 2017, which saw Italian hard rock group Bad Bones tour worldwide with their last album Demolition Derby (Sliptrick Records 2016), the band are now ready to release their latest full-length groove machine given the title High Rollers. Demolition Derby garnered a great response from both established fans and the press, so anticipation has been high for the new release. We’re happy to say, it won’t disappoint!
High Rollers is a no compromise, tough and heavy record that will literally shake your bones. The amazing voice of Max Malmerenda (very close to Badland’s singer Ray Gillen) will lead you on a journey made of furious hard rock and outstanding melodies.
If you can imagine Van Halen, Scorpions, Mororhead and a glimpse of Iron Maiden mixed together, you’ll be getting close to the unique sound of Bad Bones. Sergio Aschieris Guitar riffs and solos touch perfection and the pounding bass of Steve Balocco united with the killer drumming of his brother Lele, produce a wall of sound that takes no prisoners.
High Rollers is a true hard rocking classic!

As the album closes with a ballsy cover of the STEVE MILLER BAND classic “Rock ‘N Me” it actually makes perfect sense a homage to the FM Radio sounds of the past which has influenced the sound and style of this outfit, the shared vocal on the song shows BAD BONES are enjoying themselves here and throughout the album, they are on the cusp of greatness, nothing getting too cocky about it but simply enjoying the ride.
Lovers of old-school eighties that want a fresh sound this is right up your street …read more
