The second single from BONAFIDE’s upcoming album, ‘Are You Listening,’ is the song “Snacket”, accompanied by a lyric video.
This unique track is a duet in Scanian (a Swedish regional dialect) between Wilmer X frontman Nisse Hellberg and BONAFIDE’s own Pontus Snibb. The idea was born at a party after a Wilmer X gig at Gröna Lund in Stockholm. Pontus asked if Nisse wanted to do a duet in Malmoeitic (a type of Scanian spoken in Malmoe).
Nisse was immediately won over to the idea and the next morning, Pontus had the song written. He was so quick in fact, Nisse received the demo before he had arrived home in Malmö. The duo have a recorded history: Pontus has played on several of Nisse Hellberg’s solo records and they played together on the soundtrack to Blådårar, a film about MFF and Zlatan. Together, the two have also recorded tracks, and played plenty of gigs with, The Buckaroos both in Klågerup and New Orleans.
“Snacket” also features a guest lapsteel player in none other than Pelle Jernryd.
Swedish hard rockers BONAFIDE are back in business with their new album ‘Are You Listening?’ This is the band’s first studio album since 2017´s ‘Flames’, and not only are they back, it is with a vengeance!
Every one of the album’s ten new tracks show a band on fire! It’s pure, high-energy, uncompromising, hard rock on a level that very few other bands can match.
‘Are You Listening?’ is produced by Chips Kiesbye (Hellacopters, Sator, Sahara Hotnights, Backyard Babies).
